Migrate to jboss 4.2.0 CR

[lcoetzee]

Hi,

This post with reference to:
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=106625


I want to migrate my application to use the latest Seam cvs (to test a fix which has been submitted) which requires jboss 4.2.0CR. It seems that jb4.2.0 uses the JSF1.2 RI and not the myfaces jsf as earlier.

This is quite troublesome as I make use of quite a large number of tomahawk components.

1. Is it possible to use tomahawk with the JSF 1.2 RI ?
1.1. If so, how do I configure my web.xml/faces-config.xml ?

by adding the tomahawk jar I get the following error:

Error configuring application listener of class org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener

1.2 If not, will it be possible to downgrade from JSF 1.2 RI to myfaces 1.1 (both JBoss and Seam) ? Alternatively will I be forced to remove all tomahawk dependencies from my application (a major piece of work) ?


Regards

Louis

Maybe ask on the Tomahawk user list.

Based on the following:
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBoss5AndMyFaces I am encouraged to dig a bit more. I have resolved the

Error configuring application listener of class org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener

error (still had a myfaces listener configured in my web. xml!)

Currently I am getting the following error:

2007-04-18 16:14:20,388 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/portal]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.JBossJSFConfigureListener

I have changed my application ear to use the jboss-el-api.jar and jboss-el.jar.

Obviously my configuration is still incorrect.

Any ideas ?

I am about to migrate my application. So please post your fix here if you find one.

[lcoetzee]

I am making slow progress.

The fix for

com.sun.faces.application.ApplicationImpl.addELResolver(javax.el.ELResolver)

error is the following (points 1 and 2):

1. in application.xml I only have

<module>
 <java>jboss-seam.jar</java>
 </module>
 <module>
 <java>jboss-el.jar</java>
 </module>

not jboss-el-api.jar (initially I also had this jar referenced there). This created a problem.

2. Only package jboss-el.jar in your ear, not jboss-el-api.jar

3. I have added the following to faces-config.xml

<faces-config version="1.2"
 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-facesconfig_1_2.xsd">

.
.
.

<!-- this for jsf-ri 1.2 -->
<application>
 <el-resolver>org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamELResolver</el-resolver>
 </application>
 <application>
 <view-handler>com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler</view-handler>
 </application>

4. I have removed the following from web.xml

<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener </listener-class></listener>
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.ALLOW_JAVASCRIPT</param-name>
 <param-value>true</param-value>
 </context-param>

5. I have added the following to web.xml

!-- This for sun's jsf-ri 1.2 -->
 <listener> <listener-class>com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener</listener-class> </listener>

Points 3,4 and 5 as described in the Seam documentation.



This has allowed me to get the basic app running. Unfortunately I get a lot of other errors:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

in my xhtml pages. Very weird.

Hope it helps.

It looks to me like Tomahawk runs fine on 1.2

http://weblogs.java.net/blog/edburns/archive/2006/01/glassfish_jsf_1_1.html

It really really should - they would have had to break something pretty badly for it not to!

I have read this in several places as well.

I am going to start with the latest seam gen project and compare it to mine.

Hopefully this will go smoothly.
