BUG: Return listener not being called for manually launched dialog

Question

Hello all,
I have found a bug in the dialog framework. To set the stage, I have a ADF Faces page with a command button on it. The partial submit property is set to "true" and the use window property is also set to "true." I also have the returnListener property set to a method in the backing bean. When I set the Action property of the command button to a global navigation rule that launches a dialog, the return listener is being called correctly when I dismiss the dialog.
However, when I launch the dialog from an action listener, the return listener is not being called. Here is my action listener code:
  public void al (ActionEvent ae)
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ViewHandler vh = context.getApplication().getViewHandler();
    UIViewRoot dialog = vh.createView(context, "/infrastructure/ICConfirmDelete.jspx");
    HashMap properties = new HashMap();
    properties.put("width", new Integer(300));
    properties.put("height", new Integer(300));
    AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().launchDialog(dialog, null, ae.getComponent(), true, properties);
  }and here is my return listener:
  public void rl(ReturnEvent re)
    System.out.println("in return");
    System.out.println((String) re.getReturnValue());
  }OK - here's an update. If the command button is in the Actions facet of the page, everything works as expected. However, if the button is in the selection facet of a table (inside of afTableSelectOne) - it does not work properly as documented here. It also works correctly if the button is in the actions facet of the table. I think that this is a bug and needs to work - my use case (as you might tell from my code) is to do a delete confirmation dialog. My short-term workaround is to use the Action instead of ActionListener property on the command button, but the issue I have is that the pop-up dialog is just a tad too small, and is showing scrollbars.
Regards,
John

Gabrielle,
Sorry for the confusion.
What does not work:
Initiating a dialog from the ActionListener attached to a command button (where the command button is inside an afSelectTableOne) will not fire the returnListener when the dialog is closed.
What does work:
Initiating a dialog by returning a dialog-based navigation rule (e.g. a string starting with "dialog:") from the Action attached to a command button (even if the command button is inside an afSelectTableOne) - the return listener is called when the dialog is closed
What also does work:
Initiating a dialog with either method (Action or ActionListener) when the command button is elsewhere on the Page (e.g. in the Actions facet)
Hope this clarifies the bug. I could send a test case if desired.
Kind regards,
John
