UI Layout Initialization Error-The center-pane element does not exist

Question

I am using a Layout structure that has centerLayout, westLayout,northLayout

When i run the file, i take this following error: \"/UI Layout Initialization Error. Th

Answer 1

On primefaces 5.1 I had the case when options ware set by controler bean

and in that controler I was setting child layoutPanes that ware not defined

// options for nested center layout
LayoutOptions childCenterOptions = new LayoutOptions();
center.setChildOptions(childCenterOptions);

// options for center-north pane
LayoutOptions centerNorth = new LayoutOptions();
centerNorth.addOption("size", "50%");
childCenterOptions.setNorthOptions(centerNorth);

So if you are extending primefaces showcase, be sure to disable configuration on the unexsisting panes.

Since this error is not shown on other missing panes (east, west,..) this could be a big headache to solve.
