Description

When the FormRenderer it's invoked to encode it's state to the ResponseWriter fails when it encodes the "action" attribute of the html form. This attribute must have the value of an Action path (like '/login.do') but it always obtains the URL of the ViewRoot. In a Tiles environment this URL is the same of the base definition.

The code that tries to find the action URL is as follows (line 280):

protected String action(FacesContext context, UIComponent component) {
String actionURL =
context.getApplication().getViewHandler().
getActionURL(context, context.getViewRoot().getViewId());
if (log.isTraceEnabled())

{ log.trace("getActionURL(" + context.getViewRoot().getViewId() + ") --> " + actionURL); }
return (context.getExternalContext().encodeActionURL(actionURL));

}

The problem can be solved using the following code:

protected String action(FacesContext context, UIComponent component) {
//String actionURL =
// context.getApplication().getViewHandler().
// getActionURL(context, context.getViewRoot().getViewId());
FormComponent form = (FormComponent) component;
ModuleConfig moduleConfig = form.lookupModuleConfig(context);
String actionURL = context.getApplication().getViewHandler().
getActionURL(context, moduleConfig.getPrefix() + form.getAction());
if (log.isTraceEnabled()) { log.trace("getActionURL(" + context.getViewRoot().getViewId() + ") --> " + actionURL); }

return (context.getExternalContext().encodeActionURL(actionURL));

}

Should be this way?
