Administration Console

[dudikoff]

when deploying jboss-esb-console.ear to the jboss 4.2 as deploy directory - as being told in the documentation - I get the following error:
ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener

ok, now manually adding myfaces-impl-1.1.5.jar and myfaces-api-1.1.5.jar or version 1.1.4 of the jars results in the following message when booting the jboss as

[org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.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.

now when I try to access the console via http://localhost:8080/jboss-esb-console/

I get an internal server error caused by a servlet exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.faces.application.ViewHandler.initView(Ljavax/faces/context/FacesContext;)

which has its root causes in:
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.faces.application.ViewHandler.initView(Ljavax/faces/context/FacesContext;)V
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.faces.application.ViewHandler.initView(Ljavax/faces/context/FacesContext;)V

shouldn't it work with the java.net implementation of JSF ?
the console documentation just says: copy the .ear file into deploy directory of jboss as. did I miss a step ?

I didn't find any information about the administration console besides the Message Transformation Guide. Is it just used for creating and managing transformation rules or does it implement further adiminstration functionalities

I should add some additional Information about the ESB release used.
It's JBossESB 4.2 Milestone Release 2, deployed to JBoss Application Server 4.2.
Both are freshly installed so there's no "overhead" of previously deployed frameworks and configurations.

Did you try this on JBoss AS 4.0.5.GA? I'm sure it hasn't been tested on version 4.2 of the AS - sorry about that :-(

Yes... at present this console only manages message transformations.

You could also try the procedure outlined in:
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBoss5AndMyFaces

This describes how you can continue to use MyFaces on JBoss AS 4.2 rather than the JSF1.2 Reference Implementation shipped with JBoss AS 4.2
