Deploying Simple JSF 1.2 application in jboss 7

[Nitin Khekare]

Hi

I am deploying a simple jsf 1.2 application in jboss 7.

The application is getting deployed correctly. I can access the page but the problem I am facing is the EL strings are not getting parsed.

After page gets rendered I can see the EL string as it is in textbox (like #{bean.method}).

Can anyone help me in this regard?

attaching the war

Thanks

Your first problem is that you didn't declare UserNameBean as a @ManagedBean.  You can do this with the annotation or in a faces-config.xml.  Your EL is probably wrong as well.  If you use the annotation then by default the proper EL expression will be #{userNameBean.userName}

Second, you can use JSF 1.2 without adding jboss-deployment-structure.xml.  All you need to do is add this to your web.xml:

<context-param>
      <param-name>org.jboss.jbossfaces.JSF_CONFIG_NAME</param-name>
      <param-value>Mojarra-1.2</param-value>
 </context-param>

Lastly, you don't need to add JSTL jars to your WAR.  These are already added by JBoss AS7.

Is the JSF_CONFIG_NAME already available on AS7?

[Stan Silvert]

My bad.  You did use faces-config.xml.  Stand by.

Yes, but for now it only works for Mojarra-1.2.

I think this is your problem:

07:55:44,998 ERROR [org.jboss.as.web.jsf] (MSC service thread 1-6) Could not load JSF managed bean class java.net.roseindia.UserNameBean

Try using a different package name.  I'm pretty sure "java.net" is filtered by the classloader.

Stan thank you for your reply

I already tried by changing the package. I have declared the managed bean faces-config.xml.

And I tried by adding the context param. It is giving error like

17:57:59,218 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/jsf1.2]] (MSC service thread 1-4) Error configuring application listener of class com.sun.faces.application.WebappLifecycleListener: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.faces.application.WebappLifecycleListener

I found your problem.  JSF 1.2 requires Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1.  In web.xml you declared your webapp as Servlet 2.3.  That causes the JSP processor to treat JSP tags as if they are JSP 1.2.

So you need to declare your web.xml to be at least Servlet 2.5.  I've attached a working Maven project based on your code.

Stan Thank you for your reply, now my application is running fine.

But I am facing another problem, I converted the application as facelets application.

The error now I am getting is,

Attaching the changed war file

[Nicklas Karlsson]

Probably because your bean doesn't have the JavaBean-conventional getWelcome()/setWelcome() method (no longer an AS problem)

[Nitin Khekare]

   public String welcome(){

       return "welcome";

   }

welcome is not a property it is an action.

[Nicklas Karlsson]

it's an actionListener in the view

[Nitin Khekare]

I think I have attached wrong war file.

But I have tested it after changes, but still gives the same errror.

Yes, the WAR you attached is still using JSP.

It looks like you are trying to call an action in a place where the tag attribute is expecting a bean property.

Attaching the updated war file.
