Facelets: faces servlet not invoked (unprocessed XHTML shown)

[kwutzke]

I'm referring to the config posted here before:

http://seamframework.org/Community/ManuallyConfiguringSeamFaceletsOnTomcat6ConfigurationExceptionCausedByInstantiationException

I'm not sure why the Facelet servlet isn't invoked. I checked the Tomcat logs, but there are no errors.

There is the file list-clubs.xhtml in the bbstats.war root, resulting in http://localhost:8080/bbstats/list-clubs.seam, but it is just showing me the unprocessed XHTML file with the ui tags still in there.

Any clues why the Faces servlet isn't invoked?

What are the current contents of your web.xml and faces-config.xml?

[kwutzke]

Mojarra is getting initialized:

23.09.2010 23:31:49 com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener contextInitialized
INFO: Initializing Mojarra (1.2_12-b01-FCS) for context '/bbstats'

Anyway, you asked for the files, so here they are.

faces-config.xml:

<faces-config version="1.2"

That seems ok. I suppose the files are in the correct path? WEB-INF/web.xml and WEB-INF/faces-config.xml?

Maybe the problem is the list-clubs.xhtml file then? Did you already try to reduce it to a very basic hello world page?

[kwutzke]

I just realized from your comment that I forgot to add the faces-config.xml to my Ant build.xml. The war task call now contains

<webinf dir="${xml.dir}" includes="web.xml,faces-config.xml" />

I now get some StackOverflowError:

but that at least shows me the faces servlet get invoked, right?

I have to check the XHTML files, looks like I managed to put in a recursion.

Thanks again,

Karsten

[marcelkolsteren]

That indeed looks like a recursion. You probably made a mistake by including a page into itself with the ui:include tag.
