[jira] [Created] (OFBIZ-4875) Problem Display Behavior Using Response type="view-last"

[Nicolas Malin (Jira)]

Tom Burns created OFBIZ-4875:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Problem Display Behavior Using Response type="view-last"
                 Key: OFBIZ-4875
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4875
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ALL COMPONENTS
    Affects Versions: Release 10.04, SVN trunk
         Environment: demo-stable demo-trunk
            Reporter: Tom Burns


Under some conditions Response type="view-last" in common-controller.xml produces unexpected results.
1. When the user navigates from a help file and changes the Language, Visual Theme or Time Zone.
2. When the user selects a node from a jQuery jstree and changes the Language, Visual Theme or Time Zone (demo-trunk only)
3. type="view-last" is used extensively throughout OFBiz so there could be other problem cases.

To Reproduce:
Case 1 Select Help:
1 Open any OFBiz back office application with a theme that has a preference section.
2 Click the Help link in the preferences section
3 The Help window opens
4 Close the Help window
5 Click the Language, Visual Themes or Time Zone link in the preferences section
6 Select any language , theme or time zone
Expect: Return to the OFBiz Application

Case 2 Select tree node (demo-trunk only):
1 Open Catalog Manager or HR application
2 Click a node in the jQuery tree
3 Click the Language, Visual Themes or Time Zone link (not the Done or Cancel button) in the preferences section
4 Select any language , theme or time zone
Expect: Return to the OFBiz Application

Actual:
Case 1 Help: The Help window opens.
The application is no longer available. The user is Stuck, only way out is the browser back button.

Case 2 jQuery Tree: The application opens in a text only mode. If the user makes a selection from the text only view the theme is restored.
Note: The display may be a Help window or a screen with text "No category specified." if the user follows other paths not described here.

Not sure of an approach for a solution.
Modify the "view-last" RequestHandler.java logic
Using some other response type or value in the <response name="success" type="view-last" value="main"/>

Any suggestions?

Yes I saw those problems for a long time now. Not sure yet how to address them correctly...

Hi Jacques,

These are links to user preferences. There could be a Preferences portal in My Portal. This portal would be a scalable (how many preferences can you put in the header), centralized location for user preferences. It could include preferences for language, time, themes, displayed menu items?, default Items per page? etc.  The current links would stay in place but open to the portal. When the user is finished he would actively select a widget (menu / button /etc) to continue work. There would be no need to use view-last.

A possible solution?

Tom

Hi Tom,

Interesting, but from a slim-down POV this would mean that the myportal specialpurpose application would need to stay OOTB in OFBiz. Also it's convenient to have a quick access to this settings (languages and themes). Though more from a developer perspective, I must admit ;)

Other ideas, opinions? Not specifically to you Tom, but in the community I mean...
