Description
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?
