Facelets: No element found error

[glassfishrobot]

A couple Woodstock users are reporting issues with JSF Extensions and facelets. It's not clear if the underlying issue is due to JSF Extensions or not, but the com_sun_faces_ajax.js is generating the error below. This error is in regard to the auto-validate feature of the Woodstock TextField, which uses JSF Extensions to validate asynchronously. In this scenario, an id and valid property is returned to indicate the success of the JSF validator.

"Mozilla error console reports:

I have found the enemy, and it is me!

So after moving to jsp pages I was getting the server side validation executing, but my client side updates were still not working.

I was starting to build a new clean web project in order to flesh out the problem when I noticed a few lines in the woodstock example apps web.xml that I didn't have.

I had:

faces javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet 1

In the woodstock example it was:

faces javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet javax.faces.LIFECYCLE_ID com.sun.faces.lifecycle.PARTIAL 1

So after a week of digging around it looks like the problem was right in front of my face. I'm not sure if there is still a problem with facelets regarding the issues I was having with action vs. actionExpression and getting the validators to work (as per my first message on this thread), but at least I can move forward now.

By the way the "I has no properties" error went away when I added the LIFECYCLE_ID to the servlet.
