EL not displaying (cheap apress book example not working)
Hello, I am attempting to run chapter one example of beginning JSF 2 API and JBoss Seams by Apress. I am having trouble getting the
#{foo.subject}to display in the browser. Please help
note I have already created a seams web project in eclipse and have moved the hello.xhtml file into the webcontext folder. here is code for the xhtml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello <h:outputText value="#{foo.subject}" />!
</body>
</html>my java file contained in a package in src is.
package helloworld1;
import javax.annotation.Named;
import javax.context.RequestScoped;
@Named("foo")
@RequestScoped
public class GreetingService {
public String getSubject() {
return "Paul";
}
}
my web.xml located in web-inf is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?> <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5"> <display-name>helloworld1</display-name> <servlet> <servlet-name>JSF</servlet-name> <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>JSF</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <context-param> <param-name>org.richfaces.SKIN</param-name> <param-value>blueSky</param-value> </context-param> <listener> <listener-class>org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener</listener-class> </listener> <filter> <filter-name>Seam Filter</filter-name> <filter-class>org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>Seam Filter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> <servlet> <servlet-name>Seam Resource Servlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamResourceServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Seam Resource Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/seam/resource/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <context-param> <param-name>facelets.DEVELOPMENT</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </context-param> <context-param> <param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name> <param-value>.xhtml</param-value> </context-param> <!-- <security-constraint> <display-name>Restrict raw XHTML Documents</display-name> <web-resource-name>XHTML</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint/> </security-constraint> --> </web-app>
and I have created an empty beans.xml file and placed it into the web-inf folder as recommended by the book.
the browser does not display the EL and I dont get any error messages. how do i fix this?
Thanks
