JSF RI Portlet with JBoss Portal 2.6.3??

[mimra]

Hi Forum

I have downloaded the new JBoss Portal 2.6.3.
I would very much like to use the Sun RI of JSF for my new project.

I have however been unable to find a simple example application that shows how to do this. A lot of the problems have to do with the portal apps using MyFaces and the JBoss AS being packaged with the JSF RI.

The closest I have come is using the JSFMetaBridgePortlet - this one does however throw a NPE on undeploy.

I hope there is a simple answer to what I think is a simple question:

Can anyone point me to a JSF RI portlet-demo-app working on JBoss Portal 2.6.3?

Thanks a lot.

Have a look on Portletswap.com

I did have a look at portletswap.com. There is no example there based on JSF RI. There is a JSF Cardemo app but it is based on MyFaces...

Hmmm - I've missed the Tutorial category. I usually access the portletswap via the download link from the Download link at the main portletswap page. That takes me to:

http://labs.jboss.com/portletswap/downloads/portlets/?action=a&windowstate=maximized

That link does not contain the subcategory with tutorial portlets....

Thanks a lot, Thomas.

mimra: Were you able to get the JSF portlet up and running? Are you by the way using Richfaces as well?

[mimra]

I got a portlet running based on the JSF RI portlet.
However it throws a NullPointerException in the destroy method when I undeploy the archive. I haven't had time to look into it yet, so I don't know what's causing it.

No - I'm not using RichFaces.

mimra: But perhaps you should file an issue for the NullPointerException. It's rather uncommon to let a NPE be part of the game, it should be handled gracefully.
Before you create a new issue, please look if you can find another existing issue.

Hello, I've been working on JBoss Portal for more than half a year, I have experiences developing JSF RI portlet on JBoss Portal, you can have a look at this article: http://pillcase.blogspot.com/2007/12/using-netbeans-to-develop-jboss.html

If you have any problems, you can post comments on it.

I have now created a JIRA on the NPE on undeploy.
