Seam Faces dependency on Prettyfaces

[fabriciolemos]

I upgraded Seam Faces from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 and now I´m receiving java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.ocpsoft.pretty.faces.spi.ConfigurationProvider on application startup.

I solved it by adding

     <dependency>
          <groupId>com.ocpsoft</groupId>
          <artifactId>prettyfaces-jsf2</artifactId>
          <version>3.2.1</version>
     </dependency>

But shouldn´t it be dealt in Seam Faces pom.xml?

I´m using glassfish 3.1

It's provided and optional (because you could use Faces and the view config without URL rewriting). Which feature(s) are you using that required you to use PrettyFaces (my guess is the URL rewriting in the view config)?

[fabriciolemos]

I´m not using URL rewriting. Even without ViewConfig I have to import PrettyFaces. The same code works with Seam Faces 3.0.0.Final and no Prettyfaces import.

Brian should be better able to answer this, I'll make sure to put this one on his radar.

This is unfortunately a problem with the Weld 1.1 / Glassfish 3.1 integration.

See:

OverzealousClassScanner

Have you tried upgrading the weld osgi bundle in glassfish 3.1?  See:

UpgradingWeldInGlassFish31

If upgrading the weld osgi bundle doesn't help, you'll just have to budle prettyfaces until the glassfish/weld integration issues are resolved in a future Glassfish release.

Yes, I have. I´ll keep the dependency to Prettyfaces then. Thank you for the response.

Also seen this problem with JBoss 7.0.2.Final as well as:

WARN  [org.jboss.modules] (MSC service thread 1-16) Failed to define class org.jboss.seam.international.datetimezone.ForwardingDateTimeZone in Module "deployment.jsf-demo.war:main" from Service Module Loader: java.lang.LinkageError: Failed to link org/jboss/seam/international/datetimezone/ForwardingDateTimeZone (Module "deployment.jsf-demo.war:main" from Service Module Loader)

....

Why isn't Seam including these dependencies?

They're supposed to be optional portions of Seam International. I haven't had the time to verify if this is a bug in AS7 or just something weird with Seam.

I'm also getting this dependency error on JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final + Seam 3.1.0.Final:

It's probably time to reopen this one:

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-187

?

Or are we waiting for this one now?:

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-221

In the meantime most people should get by with:

{code}
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.ocpsoft</groupId>
  <artifactId>prettyfaces-jsf2</artifactId>
</dependency>
{code}

Do you know if this is already fixed? Which AS version? Which seam-faces jar should be used?

What do you mean with theses dependencies - which xml configuration is this?

Thank you, Gerhard

[lightguard]

They're optional dependencies, Weld is throwing the warning because it can't find the classes that are referenced in the extensions during application load. I know the logs are annoying / disturbing but in this instance they're harmless.

[davisonri_k12]

this might be a question for a different discussion. But is that a way i can filter out these specific java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError errors from the logs. adding a Filter pattern match in the jboss configuration file for the log handler does not seem to filter out these exceptions from the log during app deployment.
