JSF Icefaces: map disappear on refresh

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi guys,
I've a problem with gmaps4jsf map. In my application I need a map where I 
dinamically insert some markers. This is my xhtml: 

<m:map id="MAP" binding="#{deliveriesProgress.map}" />

Then, in my backing bean, I create object map = new Map() ... I set some 
properties, like latitude, longitude, zoom and I insert marker in this way: 

marker = new Marker();
marker.setLatitude("43.5436");
marker.setLongitude("10.317");
HTMLInformationWindow ballon = new HTMLInformationWindow();
        ballon.setHtmlText("Latitudine: 43.5436 - Longitudine: 10.317");
        marker.getChildren().add(ballon);
        map.getChildren().add(marker);

When I enter into the page the map is correctly displayed, but if I refresh the 
page, the map disappear.

Have you any idea to solve this problem?

Thank you,
Chiara

This code is in the getter of the binding?

Yes, the code is in the getter of the binding.

Do you use AJAX Push for refreshing?

Maybe this can help: http://icecube-on-icefusion.googlecode.com/

Hi, cbo...,

I found a solution for F5 refresh problem for configuration jsf 1.2 with 
icefaces 1.8.2:

1. Copy three .js files from gmaps4jsf 1.1.4 library's META-INF package to your 
server directory where they would be accessible by client.

2. Add to your page's head section three references to these files like 
<script src="/your-page-url/resources/gmaps4jsf.js" 
type="text/javascript"></script>

That's it!

This guarantees that javascript functions reguired to render a map are included 
in the page even after refresh which is not the case if they are in library 
only.

Good luck!

Hi v.g.vi...,

I tried to apply your solution but it didn't solve my problem. At the moment I 
can see the map without any disappear using a workaround:  every time that I 
need to show the map I call a "window.location.reload(true)".

I'm using gmaps4jsf 1.1.3-u3.jar (I tried the solution with gmaps4jsf _1.1.4, 
but it did not work).

Thank you,
Chiara

Any comments about version 1.1.4 and map disappearing by ajax update? I am 
trying to use component by 100% dynamically markup generation. No luck. 
window.location.reload(true) - not a solution. 
    map.setPartiallyTriggered("true") or    map.setPartiallyTriggered("false") no affect to map behavior....
This is very major issue

Sorry for late response. The gmap-page refresh problem in icefaces is
solved simply by adding to the page header references to all .js files
contained in gmaps4jsf library. This ensures every icefaces rendering
triggers request to google maps. Icefaces itself doesn't know about gmaps,
it just renders what is in the page file.

Thanks!

I added the three js files, and now, when my map is loaded the first time is 
not visible; if I refresh the page the map appears (and also for each other 
refresh)
If I remove the js files inclusion the first time there is the map and for each 
refresh the map disappears
I'm using Icefaces 1.8.2 with facelets 
Thanks!!
