How to create a stateful Richfaces popup

This article has been published first on Javalobby

I use JSF and especially Richfaces for 1 year. During this year I had a few issues with Richfaces popups.

Richfaces popups had the following issues

• The popup component is stored in the components tree although it is not displayed. On some use cases, the complete popup sub tree can be stored in the tree.
• Because popups are usually displayed using javascript, there are not sync with the components tree and vice versa.
• So popups are display off when user reloads the page, that generates inconsistent state.
• A lot of popups on the same page, that significates a lot of rich:modalPanel components, increases file size and decreases readability.
• Popups don't stack easily (A calls B or B calls A mean different zindex for A and B).

One of my coworker said richfaces popup component doesn’t scale because each sort of popup requires a specific declaration. The team had create a JSF fragment file that contains all the popup components whatever their domains or the business logic location in package and module.

My opinion is that a popup should be part of the UI logic. It should not be a component you add like a textbox but it would rather be a window you create with a createPopup method.

Ok let's try to improve popup logic.
