custom JSF component with facelets

[dgallego]

Hi, all!

I am trying to run my JSF custom component with facelets. Is it necessary to reference de XX.taglib.xml from web.xml with this code?:

<context-param>
 <param-name>facelets.LIBRARIES</param-name>
 <param-value>XX.taglib.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

because JBoss Seam doesn't need this context-param (Tomahawk yes). How can I avoid this parameter?. I have been looking the JBoss Seam UI source code, and seam.taglib.xml is located at META-INF.
If I put my XX.taglib.xml there, my tag isn't executed, but rendered as plain text.

Thanks in advance!

It shouldn't be, no.

Put it in META-INF/ if you are putting the facelets in a jar included in WEB-INF/lib. Put it in WEB-INF if you are just putting the facelets straight into your war.

BTW I never needed that parameter for tomahawk if I put the tomahawk.taglib.xml in WEB-INF (or a sub directory).

OK, if i move the tomahawk.taglib.xml to tomahawk.jar!META-INF , it works, but with my tags this doesn't work :( any idea?

My my.jar!META-INF content:
taglib.tld (tags for MyFaces without facelets, for example).
faces-config.xml (the JSF components).
nt.taglib.xml (the link between the component-type and the component-class, the facelets)

Thanks for your help petemuir

You should see log messages when you access your first facelets page

13:20:37,850 ERROR [STDERR] 04-Dec-2006 13:20:37 com.sun.facelets.compiler.TagLibraryConfig loadImplicit
INFO: Added Library from: jar:file:/Z:/jboss/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/./deploy/spm-seam.ear/spm-seam.war/WEB-INF/lib/jsf-facelets.jar!/META-INF/jsf-core.taglib.xml

for all the tag libraries facelets can load (for the entire app). If your nt.taglibrary.xml isn't mentioned please post your war structure.

If it is then you've probably got a namespace typo between nt.taglib.xml and your facelet.

This is the structure of the jar under my /WEB-INF/lib/:

META-INF:
- faces-config.xml
- nt.taglib.xml
- taglib.tld
and the packets structure containing my tags and JSF components.

My tags work only if I specify facelets.LIBRARIES option under web.xml.

faces-config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.0//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd">
<faces-config>

 <component>
 <component-type>component.Version</component-type>
 <component-class>component.Version</component-class>
 </component>
</faces-config>

nt.taglib.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE facelet-taglib PUBLIC
 "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Facelet Taglib 1.0//EN"
 "facelet-taglib_1_0.dtd">

<facelet-taglib>

 <namespace>http://www.ntrying.com</namespace>

 <tag>
 <tag-name>version</tag-name>
 <component>
 <component-type>component.Version</component-type>
 </component>
 </tag>


</facelet-taglib>

taglib.tld:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd">
<taglib>

 <jsp-version>1.2</jsp-version>
 <short-name>nt</short-name>
 <uri>http://www.ntrying.com</uri>
 <display-name>NTrying.com.</display-name>

 <!-- <nt:version /> -->
 <tag>
 <name>version</name>
 <tag-class>taglib.VersionTag</tag-class>
 <body-content>empty</body-content>
 <description>

 </description>
 </tag>
</taglib>

I'm not sure then, I suggest you ask on the facelets list.

Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I have the exact same situation.

I think you have to specify it in web.xml if you do not package your library in to its own jar file?
