how to display all XHTML files in jsf page

[seamkaruna]

hi there,

I'm implementing an admin page in my seam project. so i want to give user rights to each and every page, for that i want to list all xhtml files in my jsf page or is there any alternate for that, if so plz reply me as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance,

I wanted the same thing and asked about this earlier and I got the answer This is not possible. However you can do this creating a script that lists all the xhtml pages and push those in the db or show them directly. Hackish, but works.

Here is my other post

It should be possible. Have a look under section 30.1 'Deploying Custom Resources'.

Interesting. Too bad no one answered my post. I will share my findings

Hmmm I seem to have problems. I have no idea what to do in the required methods.

public Set<FileDescriptor> getResources() {
          
}

public void postProcess(ClassLoader classLoader) {
          
}

public void setResources(Set<FileDescriptor> resources) {
          
}

Any ideas?

Extend AbstractDeploymentHandler, something like:

package org.jboss.seam.deployment;

import org.jboss.seam.contexts.Contexts;


public class MyDeploymentHandler extends AbstractDeploymentHandler
{
   
   private static DeploymentMetadata FILE_METADATA = new DeploymentMetadata()
   {

      public String getFileNameSuffix()
      {
         return ".xhtml";
      }
      
   };

   public static final String NAME = "mydeploymenthandlername;
   
   public String getName()
   {
      return NAME;
   }
   

   public DeploymentMetadata getMetadata()
   {
      return FILE_METADATA;
   }
   
}

Thanks Stuart. However, I still get the same NullPointerException

public class CustomDeploymentHandler extends AbstractDeploymentHandler {

     private static DeploymentMetadata CUSTOM_METADATA = new DeploymentMetadata() {
          public String getFileNameSuffix() {
               return ".xhtml";
          }
     };

     public String getName() {
          return "customDeploymentHandler";
     }

     public DeploymentMetadata getMetadata() {
          return CUSTOM_METADATA;
     }
     
}

@Name("startupDeployment")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Startup
public class StartupDeployment {
     
     @In("#{deploymentStrategy.deploymentHandlers['customDeploymentHandler']}")
     private CustomDeploymentHandler myDeploymentHandler;

     @In("#{hotDeploymentStrategy.deploymentHandlers['customDeploymentHandler']}")
     private CustomDeploymentHandler myHotDeploymentHandler;

     @Logger
     private Log log;
     
     @Create
     public void create() {
          for (FileDescriptor fd : myDeploymentHandler.getResources()) {
               handleXhtml(fd);
          }

          for (FileDescriptor f : myHotDeploymentHandler.getResources()) {
               handleXhtml(f);
          }
     }

     public void handleXhtml(FileDescriptor fd) {
          log.info("Filedesc #0 #1", fd.getName(), fd.getUrl());
     }

}

And a seam-deployment.properties

# For standard deployment
org.jboss.seam.deployment.deploymentHandlers=mypackage.CustomDeploymentHandler
# For hot deployment
org.jboss.seam.deployment.hotDeploymentHandlers=mypackage.CustomDeploymentHandler

I get nullpointer on myDeploymentHandler. Seems it doesnt inject it correctly.

Sorry my bad. I had forgot to put the properties file in the build.xml to be copied over.

[cash1981]

I copied the deployment-properties file to the myproject.ear/META-INF/ folder and after debug it seems it only finds the debug.xhtml file. I wonder why....

Wouldn't this work?

     public List<String> getXhtmls() {
          return getResources( "/", ".xhtml" );
     }
     
     protected List<String> getResources( String path, String suffix ) {
          ExternalContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
          Set<String> resources = context.getResourcePaths( path );
          List<String> filteredResources = new ArrayList<String>();
          for ( String resource : resources ) {
               if( resource.endsWith( ".xhtml" ) ) {
                    filteredResources.add( resource );
               } else if( resource.endsWith( "/" ) ) {
                    filteredResources.addAll( getResources( resource, suffix ) );
               }
          }
          return filteredResources;
     }

     <h:dataTable value="#{someBean.xhtmls}" var="page">
          <h:column>
               <h:outputText value="#{page}" />
          </h:column>
     </h:dataTable>

[wilczarz.wilczarz.gmail.com]

Sorry, typo. Should've been

     public List<String> getXhtmls() {
          return getResources( "/", ".xhtml" );
     }
     
     protected List<String> getResources( String path, String suffix ) {
          ExternalContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
          Set<String> resources = context.getResourcePaths( path );
          List<String> filteredResources = new ArrayList<String>();
          for ( String resource : resources ) {
               if( resource.endsWith( suffix ) ) {
                    filteredResources.add( resource );
               } else if( resource.endsWith( "/" ) ) {
                    filteredResources.addAll( getResources( resource, suffix ) );
               }
          }
          return filteredResources;
     }

Cheers!

So is that instead of the custom deployment?
