Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using Rational Application developer V7003, in the Web perspecti
  ve, the JSP editor view is inconsistent with the Quick-Edit view
   when adding AJAX behavior to JSF components and trying to save
  the change immediately.
  Scenario:
  1) Create a JSP web page ('myPage') in a JSF Dynamic Web Project
  .
  2) Open myPage using the JSP editor in design view.
  3) Drag in a Panel - Group Box (h:panelGroup)
  4) Drag in an input component (h:inputText) into the existing pa
  nelGroup.
  5) Select the inputText box by clciking on it in design view.
  6) Choose the source tab in the JSP editor.
  7) Select the Quick-Edit view tab in the bottom panel.
  8) Select the onBlur event. This adds a hx:behaviour element ins
  ide h:inputText element
  9) Select 'Invoke Ajax behaviour on the specified tag' from the
  'Action:' combo-box. This adds a behaviorAction attribute to the
   hx:behaviour element.
  10) From this point on, pay special attention to the code inside
   the hx:behaviour element.
  11) Select 'group1' from the 'Target:' combo-box. the targetActi
  on attribute is added to the hx:behaviour element.
  12) Now save the file by either:
      a) selecting file -- save
      b) selecting file -- save all
      c) pressing the Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut
   Note that the file appears to be saved now (no asterisk near fi
  le name, or next to 'Quick-Edit' label)
  13) Focus on the source editor by clicking somewhere in the sour
  ce.
  Expected result:
  The file is saved with all observed changes intact.
  Actual result:
  The targetAction attribute disappears, but all other changes rem
  ain. Also note that the page editor indicates that the page has
  unsaved changes via the asterisk next to the file name, even tho
  ugh we have just saved it.
