[Seaside] #updateUrl: and AJAX

[Gastón Dall' Oglio]

Hi Mariano.

Once something similar happened to me, I had to render a component
differences between a do in the full cycle or later with ajax call.
I could understand, is that if you look at the code
WARenderPhaseContinuation>>processRendering: you'll see that along with
rendering the component many other things are done, it is here that the "
self updateURL becomes: actionURL" is performed. My impression was
that all these
tasks are not done when an ajax call is made, but I could not finish
watching understand the code of Seaside at this low level...

If this were so, I would try to copy the code WARenderPhaseContinuation >>
updateURL: and put it within my ajax call handler to force the update url
(ie dirty I know but if it works ...).

(WAVisiblePresenterGuide client: (WAUpdateUrlVisitor url: aURL))
start: self session presenter

Best.
