IceFaces 1.8.2 "couldn't find container for property: bridge" on button click

I have a two simple IceFaces buttons created this way. (I don't use xhtml but create things from Java code.)

HtmlCommandButton comp = new HtmlCommandButton();
comp.setId(id);
comp.setImmediate(immediate);
boolean clientSide = props.getBooleanValue("clientside", false);
if(clientSide) {
    comp.setOnclick(props.getValue("script") + ";return;");
} else {
    // ignore
}

I create two buttons this way: one with clientSide == true with a simple alert('hello'); script and one would run the attached javascript server side in a BSF box.

Thw two buttons are displayed, the clientSide button works with it's alert well. However when I click on the other button that has no onClick set programmatically, I get an error message in Firebug console (in IE9 as well):

uncaught exception: couldn't find container for property: bridge

I use ICEFaces 1.8.2. After Googling around I saw this error related to jsp:root tags, but I have no jsp in my project.

Solution

  • The button was rendered outside of the HTML form. That's all.. :-)
