WARNING: JSF1090: Navigation case not resolved for component j_idt74.

I really don't know how to solve this because it seems that the error doesn't occur in the process of cropping..

Can you please help me to solve this problem ? I really don't know what to do.

I am using Primefaces 3.5 and Myfaces 2.1.17.

Thank you very much.

It is worth to be mentioned that this entire crop module is embedded in one wizard primefaces step.

Answer 1

I can reproduce it on their own showcase. When I deselect the image and click Crop, then I see the unhandled exception in the ajax response:

(it'd been nice if they installed a decent ajax exception handler, so that this was immediately visible to the enduser)

Well, this is really a bug in their own code. This is 4 days ago already been reported as issue 5349 which is currently unscheduled.

If you really can't wait for them to fix it, then your best is to override the renderer to skip the job in getConvertedValue():

public class MyImageCropperRenderer extends ImageCropperRenderer {

    @Override
    public Object getConvertedValue(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object submittedValue) throws ConverterException {
        if (submittedValue == null || ((String) submittedValue).endsWith("_0_0")) {
            return null;
        }

        return super.getConvertedValue(context, component, submittedValue);
    }

}

The submitted value is in the format x_y_w_h wherein the _w_h would be _0_0 when nothing is selected. In that case, the above custom renderer will thus return immediately null instead of continuing the conversion job which would throw that exception.

To get this renderer to run, register it as follows in faces-config.xml wherein the <renderer-class> is the FQN of the custom renderer:

<render-kit>
    <renderer>
        <component-family>org.primefaces.component</component-family>
        <renderer-type>org.primefaces.component.ImageCropperRenderer</renderer-type>
        <renderer-class>com.example.MyImageCropperRenderer</renderer-class>
    </renderer>
</render-kit>

Answer 2

I used the solution posted for BalusC. But sporadically I get the value "_2_0" or something like that. In these cases, the error happens again. Then I resolved so:

@Override
public Object getConvertedValue(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object submittedValue) throws ConverterException {
    if (submittedValue != null ){
        String[] submittedValueArray = ((String) submittedValue).split("_");
        if (!"0".equals(submittedValueArray[2]) && !"0".equals(submittedValueArray[3])) {
            return super.getConvertedValue(context, component, submittedValue);
        }           
    }
    return null;
}
