Simple Application in Jboss with JSF

[fahimawan83]

Hi every1.

I am new to Jboss, before that i was using Apache Tomcat. My problem is that i have written a simple Dynamic Web Project in eclipse 3.4 in which there are only two JSP pages. on first page some message is written in <h:inputtext/> and on other page the value is displayed. this works fine on apache tomcat. but when i run it on Jboss 4.2.2.GA, then HTTP 404, page not found.

Besides that it does not show any exceptions on console... plz help? what to do.

i have also included following in my web.xml

<context-param>
    <param-name>org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>

Please check, whether your application is getting deploy in jboss folder and have you added proper environment variable and jboss arguments.

[fahimawan83]

i have checked JBOss deploy folder. WAR file is present there. and plz tell me how to check jboss arguments. and  environment variables are all set

[sunilchaurha]

Hi,

To check variables just see the run.bat file inside the bin folder and check for the variables

fileManagementWidget.xhtmlset JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -DAWP90_WP_HOME=D.....

are those  given correctly?

What is the name of the WAR file? What is the URL you are using to access the app?

In the console output there should be a line that shows the WAR being deployed, and that line should provide the context, something like this:

2010-02-03 10:18:51,217 INFO  [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/helloapp

Do you see something like this for your app?

Hi Fahim,

about your initial post: you said that you have a simple app. But according to the config snippet, you bundle your own JSF implementation inside. Why not removing it? JBoss already bundles the Sun reference implementation, and I assume that your beginner project does not require another JSF version.

This might eliminate potential deployment errors.

Best regards

@wolfgang,

thanks a lot for your concerns but when i remove that piece of code from my deployment descriptor then i get deployment exceptions...

@ Peter, thanks a lot for your concerns.

the name of my application is JsfTutorial and it is deployed in the jboss deploy folder as well.

Hi,

the server output shows that your app bundles MyFaces 1.1.5.

Thus, you would need the  "org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL" switch in web.xml.

But JBoss 4.2.2 already bundles the Sun JSF implementation 1.2 (exact version is 1.2_04). So the question is: do you need MyFaces in your app, or will it also work with the included one? Please delete WEB-INF\lib\myfaces-api-1.1.5.jar and myfaces-impl-1.1.5.jar.

Do you need the Tomahawk jars?

Best regards

Wolfgang

Hi,

Thanks alot for your concerns.

i had already included "org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL" switch in my web.xml. Although i dont need MyFaces for a simple application like this one........ my aim right now is to get something on the explorer... if i delete myfaces-api and impl lib even then i dont get any thing on the explorer except HTTP -404

Best regards

Do you have any index.html or any other "welcome-page" for your web app?

[fahimawan83]

yes i have an index page that is justpointing to other page on which a only a string is written

[wolfgangknauf]

Hi,

please post the full details of your app. Either attach it to your post, or post the relevant snippets of your deployment descriptors, your web pages and the output of "jar tf yourWarFile.war".

What URL do you navigate in browser?

Best regards

Wolfgang

[fahimawan83]

Thanks alot for your concerns,

i am attaching my complete project as a zip file. if u could comprehend and make it run then i would be very grateful

the url is http://localhost:8082/JsfTutorial

thanks again
