I've got a preRenderView listener firing in the middle of a page - any ideas why?
I've got this listener, I'm using templates and have tried inserting this code
before <head>, inside <head> </head> and in the body, no difference.
[code]
<f:metadata>
<f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{teamCreateView.setupPage}"/>
</f:metadata>
[/code]
Then in the body I've got this:
[code]
<h:selectOneMenu id="sport" value="#{teamCreateView.team.sport}"
converter="sportconverter"
immediate="true"
valueChangeListener="#{teamCreateView.enableInputClub}"
styleClass="teamFormSelectMenu">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="#{msgs.selectOneLabel}" noSelectionOption="true"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{appView.sportList}"/>
<f:ajax/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
[/code]
What I'm seeing is that as the page loads the preRenderView listener is called
3 times (why does JSF have to do this?), then I select a value from the "sport"
select box, the value change listener enableInputClub fires then I see the
setupPage preRenderView listener firing.
Surely this is not right? In the meantime I'll have to go back to using
@PostConstruct.

Brendan.
