I'm working with JSF this morning and I'm finding one thing particularly annoying. I'm working on a simple master/detail screen and I'm tweaking the detail screen to fit my needs. It's just a <form> with some form elements. I change something, run "ant deploy-web" and hit "refresh" to see my updated page. Since everything in JSF is a post, I get prompted to re-submit the form. Fine, I agree - then I'm returned to the list screen. Argggh - why can't I just view the form again?! This might just be a MyFaces nuance, I'm not sure. Anyone know of a workaround?
Wanna see the bug/feature in action? Go to http://demo.raibledesigns.com/equinox-jsf/userList.html, click on a row - and after the edit screen displays, hit refresh on your browser. In an ideal world, you'd see the form again, but nope - you get the list instead.
