Action method getting called multiple times.

Hi All,
The problem that I am facing is pretty weird.
The issue is the i have an input field that takes date as input field.
This field is inside a data taable
FYI: I tried converter still same problem.
So when ever I enter wrong data as "asda" inside this date field I get a validation error. which is good. So assume it took me 3 submit clicks to fix all my errors on the page.
So now when I click the submit for the 4th time.
The action method gets trigerred 4 times.
Desperately waiting for a fix.
Thank you in advance.

Probably got to do with the JSF jar files. I am not sure though. Can you check if the below link is useful?

Backing Bean constructor getting called multiple times

I have a List of records in the Table with a link Add.
When i click Add i show a popup dialog which is attached to the dialogListener.
On clicking OK on the dialog i want to add a record in the List in the backing Bean, but the Bean constructor is getting called multiple times.
and the list to which the table is attached is also getting called multiple times.
is there a way in which the method gets called only once?

Hi!
af:table have property ContentDelivery. When <default> (lazy), the table "frame" iz rendered in first page cycle, and content (rows in table) are fetched lazy i.e. in second cycle. Thus, your backing bean is constructed twice.
If you set ContentDelivery to immediate, the table including data rows is generated in single page cycle thus your backing bean is constructed only once.
Hope this helps,

ValidateEntity getting called multiple times

Hi,
There is a parent EO and a child EO. There is a composite association between the parent and child.Association accessors are generated for both source and destination. In the ChildEO's doDML method , the following code is added.
Long abc = getPArentEO().getAttr1();
Long xyz = getPArentEO().getAttr2();
setAttr3(abc);
setAttr4(xyz);
super.doDML();
getParentEO() is the association accessor .
After the addition of this code, all the method validators of the parent are getting fired more than once. The validateEntity of the parentEO is getting called more than once if I set some attribute of the childEO in childEO's doDML . Is this the expected behaviour?
Thanks.

Even on adding the setter in prepareForDML (either in parent or child) , the validateEntity is getting called multiple times. In fact ,validateEntity is getting called once before prepareForDML and again after. One of my method validators fail on the subsequent call giving an error ..Please help.

Php include file getting called multiple times

I am not able to understand why user_registration.php and library.php are executing again and again.
I ran this test on local testing server MAMP.
The results are the same on remote server also.
Please guide.

I'm not sure what's happening there. The important question is whether the code is executed successfully.
Since you're using the Zend Framework, it might be better to ask in a dedicated ZF forum.

CommandLink in dataTable rendered method is called multiple times

I have a dataTable in which one of the columns contains a commandLink. The commandLink has the "rendered" option bound to a backing bean method. When the page is submitted, the backing bean method gets called 8 times for each row in the table if the value returned is "true" and 3 times per row if the value returned is "false". Since the page is designed to "navigate" back to itself, I can understand it getting called more than once, but 8 times??? What's up with that?

Because you have a bug in your code.
If you want further help post a Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program ([url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]SSCCE) that demonstrates the problem.

Finalize() method being called multiple times for same object?

I got a dilly of a pickle here.
Looks like according to the Tomcat output log file that the finalize method of class User is being called MANY more times than is being constructed.
Here is the User class:
package com.db.multi;
import java.io.*;
import com.db.ui.*;
import java.util.*;
* @author DBriscoe
public class User implements Serializable {
    private String userName = null;
    private int score = 0;
    private SocketImage img = null;
    private boolean gflag = false;
    private Calendar timeStamp = Calendar.getInstance();
    private static int counter = 0;
    /** Creates a new instance of User */
    public User() { counter++;
    public User(String userName) {
        this.userName = userName;
        counter++;
    public void setGflag(boolean gflag) {
        this.gflag = gflag;
    public boolean getGflag() {
        return gflag;
    public void setScore(int score) {
        this.score = score;
    public int getScore() {
        return score;
    public void setUserName(String userName) {
        this.userName = userName;
    public String getUserName() {
        return userName;
    public void setImage(SocketImage img) {
        this.img = img;
    public SocketImage getImage() {
        return img;
    public void setTimeStamp(Calendar c) {
        this.timeStamp = c;
    public Calendar getTimeStamp() {
        return this.timeStamp;
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        try {
            if (obj instanceof User) {
                User comp = (User)obj;
                return comp.getUserName().equals(userName);
            } else {
                return false;
        } catch (NullPointerException npe) {
            return false;
    public void finalize() {
        if (userName != null && !userName.startsWith("OUTOFDATE"))
            System.out.println("User " + userName + " destroyed. " + counter);
    }As you can see...
Every time a User object is created, a static counter variable is incremented and then when an object is destroyed it appends the current value of that static member to the Tomcat log file (via System.out.println being executed on server side).
Below is the log file from an example run in my webapp.

It really does seem to me like finalize is being called multiple times for the same object.
That number should incremement for every instantiated User, and finalize can only be called once for each User object.
I thought this was impossible?
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks...
I am already thinking of ideas to limit the number of threads.
Unfortunately there are two threads of execution in the servlet handler, one handles requests and the other parses the collection of User objects to check for out of date timestamps, and then eliminates them if they are out of date.
The collection parsing thread is currently a javax.swing.Timer thread (Bad design I know...) so I believe that I can routinely check for timestamps in another way and fix that problem.
Just found out too that Tomcat was throwing me a ConcurrentModificationException as well, which may help explain the slew of mysterious behavior from my servlet!
The Timer thread has to go. I got to think of a better way to routinely weed out User objects from the collection.
Or perhaps, maybe I can attempt to make it thread safe???
Eg. make my User collection volatile?
Any opinions on the best approach are well appreciated.

Validators getting called multiple times?

I am working on a project where were we have used BackingBean validators for an input text component.
When I first submit, the validator method getting called once, when I submit again, its getting called twice, and it goes on. After clearing the session, the validator getting called once, then twice, ...
I don't know why this happens. Can any help me with this? What could be reasons for this weird behavior? What might went wrong in our code.

An SSCCE please.

Firefox making same GET call multiple times

Firefox is making the same AJAX call multiple times for a single event when it should really do it once. Actually, with each single click the number of calls multiplies. I have tested the application using Chromium and Eclipse's internal browser and I have no problems.
I removed all add-ons and started Firefox in safe-mode, but the problem persists.
Please advise,
Arthur Nobrega

Hi Arthur, do you have a page available that demonstrates this problem? If so, please post a link. Perhaps your test doesn't actually need to make a network request: for example, perhaps it could add a message to the page indicating that the relevant section of code was triggered.
Since this site focuses on end user support, you might also consider taking this question to a more developer-oriented forum such as the unofficial [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 mozillaZine Web Development board], or to StackExchange.

Problem adding listners(getting called multiple times)??

Hi

If I have two radio buttons, if I implement item listeners on that two radio buttons ,

thnx & regards

Inside the Method itemStateChanged() dont use
objPartialRadBtn.setSelected() or objSpareRadBtn.setSelected()
If you still want to use then do
objPartialRadBtn.removeItemListener(...);
objPartialRadBtn.setSelected();
objPartialRadBtn.addItemListener(...);

Init method is called multiple times

Hi,
init method in my servlet is called more than 1 time.
I think it is supposed to be called only 1 time,when the application is loaded.
anything to do with web.xml ???
or else what r the situations that init method is called more than 1 time
thanks

Hi,
actually I figured out the problem.
I am using logger staements for debugging.
I am also using singlethread model for servlet.
I came to know that it creates multiple instances of servlet...
which inturn calls init method multiple times.
i took out that singlethread model,now it is working perfect.
Thanks

LoginModule login() method being called multiple times

I have a J2EE application that is deployed in Oracle 10g 10.1.2.0.2 that implements a cutom login module. The custom class (MyClassLoginModule) implements the LoginModule interface. Everything works great if the username and password entered by an end user are correct. However, it appears that if a user enters an incorrect password after failing authentication the container executes the MyClassLoginModule.login() method again. In some cases, it calls it serveral time each failing authentication.
This wouldn't be a problem however, the username and password are also the end users workstation accounts. This behaviour is capable of locking their accounts in one failed attempt.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

We're using FORM based authentication. The problem is not with multiple requests, but appears to be an issue with the container. See the following for more info:
LoginModule login method called twice on unsuccessful logins

Unwanted behavior: Action method being called several times

Hello,
I have a managed bean that calls a session ejb which itself does a search. The problem is that it is supposed to retrieve a resultset ONCE and the displayed behavior is that it never stop doing so. It fetches the resultset N TIMES.
Here is the managed bean and the method to look at is the performSearch method:
