Problems running JSF demo from tutorial.
Hello All,
I am using JBDS and am trying to implement the JSF demo from
http://www.redhat.com/developer_studio/guides/GettingStartedGuide/html_single/#rad_jsf_application
but I am having few problems.
My original posting was on
JBoss.com -> Developer Studio -> JBoss Developer Studio Users
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=133791
First,(This one does not have anything to do with my JSF demo but it looks like it is related.)
when I access the server using "http://localhost:8080/portal", I get
13:32:43,704 ERROR [STDERR] Apr 15, 2008 1:32:43 PM com.sun.facelets.compiler.TagLibraryConfig loadImplicit INFO: Added Library from: jar:file:/C:/JBoss/jboss-portal-2.6.4/server/default/./deploy/jboss-portal.sar/portal-identity.sar/portal-identity.war/WEB-INF/lib2/portal-faces-lib.jar!/META-INF/portal.taglib.xml 13:32:43,876 ERROR [STDERR] Apr 15, 2008 1:32:43 PM com.sun.facelets.compiler.TagLibraryConfig loadImplicit INFO: Added Library from: jar:file:/C:/JBoss/jboss-portal-2.6.4/server/default/./deploy/jboss-portal.sar/portal-identity.sar/portal-identity.war/WEB-INF/lib2/jsf-facelets.jar!/META-INF/jsf-core.taglib.xml 13:32:43,907 ERROR [STDERR] Apr 15, 2008 1:32:43 PM com.sun.facelets.compiler.TagLibraryConfig loadImplicit INFO: Added Library from: jar:file:/C:/JBoss/jboss-portal-2.6.4/server/default/./deploy/jboss-portal.sar/portal-identity.sar/portal-identity.war/WEB-INF/lib2/jsf-facelets.jar!/META-INF/jstl-fn.taglib.xml 13:32:43,985 ERROR [STDERR] Apr 15, 2008 1:32:43 PM com.sun.facelets.compiler.TagLibraryConfig loadImplicit INFO: Added Library from: jar:file:/C:/JBoss/jboss-portal-2.6.4/server/default/./deploy/jboss-portal.sar/portal-identity.sar/portal-identity.war/WEB-INF/lib2/jsf-facelets.jar!/META-INF/jstl-core.taglib.xml 13:32:44,095 ERROR [STDERR] Apr 15, 2008 1:32:44 PM com.sun.facelets.compiler.TagLibraryConfig loadImplicit INFO: Added Library from: jar:file:/C:/JBoss/jboss-portal-2.6.4/server/default/./deploy/jboss-portal.sar/portal-identity.sar/portal-identity.war/WEB-INF/lib2/jsf-facelets.jar!/META-INF/jsf-ui.taglib.xml 13:32:44,142 ERROR [STDERR] Apr 15, 2008 1:32:44 PM com.sun.facelets.compiler.TagLibraryConfig loadImplicit INFO: Added Library from: jar:file:/C:/JBoss/jboss-portal-2.6.4/server/default/./deploy/jboss-portal.sar/portal-identity.sar/portal-identity.war/WEB-INF/lib2/jsf-facelets.jar!/META-INF/jsf-html.taglib.xml 13:32:45,673 INFO [MyfacesConfig] No context init parameter 'org.apache.myfaces.READONLY_AS_DISABLED_FOR_SELECTS' found, using default value true 13:32:45,673 INFO [MyfacesConfig] Tomahawk jar not available.

I tried two approaches.
First, I tried running the JSF app without making any changes for JSF implementations.
Here is what I got when I run the JSF demo from within JBDS

So then I went to wiki and made the suggested changes for keeping only one implementation.
Based on my understanding of suggestion on wiki I tried for MyFaces impl, but I could very well use Sun RI if that would make things simpler.
While making the changes listed on the wiki, I have assumed that all the listed changes are needed for my version of JBoss portal 6.2.4.

But now I get the same exception.
15:42:49,726 WARN [JBossJSFConfigureListener] MyFaces JSF implementation found! This version of JBoss AS ships with the java.net implementation of JSF. There are known issues when mixing JSF implementations. This warning does not apply to MyFaces component libraries such as Tomahawk. However, myfaces-impl.jar and myfaces-api.jar should not be used without disabling the built-in JSF implementation.

Here is my web.xml for this particular application
<?xml version="1.0"?> <web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"> <display-name>GuessNumber</display-name> <context-param> <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name> <param-value>server</param-value> </context-param> <listener> <listener-class>com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener</listener-class> </listener> <!-- Faces Servlet --> <servlet> <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <!-- Faces Servlet Mapping --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> </login-config> </web-app>
In web.xml how do it tell it to use MyFaces JSF implementation.
Also, we do not need to use MyFaces implementations and I could still use Sun RI if that would make things faster.
I am new to JSF and JBDS.
Thank you for going thru my long post. I will be thankful or any help/pointers.
