Unable to run facelets numberguess example in JBoss 5

annegret Feb 25, 2008 10:40 AM

Hi,

We tried to run the numberguess example, which is shipped with the facelets-1.1.13 release on JBoss5.0.0.Beta4.
Just extracted JBoss5 and adding the numberguess.war-file.

The following error occurs during rendering:
"SCHWERWIEGEND: Missing Built-in Tag Libraries! Make sure they are included within the META-INF directory of Facelets' Jar"

Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server users of *

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A NullPointerException is thrown from *
* the Facelets library. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
The Facelets library is unable to load tag libraries because
the application class loader resource searching fails to
return META-INF directories.
Problem conclusion
The application class loader resource searching has been
updated to properly return META-INF directories.
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpaks 5.1.1.16, 6.0.2.23, and 6.1.0.13.

Hi!
Anne,

Did you find any solution for that problem?
we are facing the same here and wish if you can share your experiences on this.
I posted a thread yesterday on the following thread:
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=133341
, but seems no one has any solution or work around to this-- I did not get any reply.

Thanking you in advance,
Samba

Hi Samba,

we found a workaround:

1. We extracted the taglibs from the facelets jar files and put them into our war file in WEB-INF/tags
2. We added a reference to this files in web.xml:
<context-param> <param-name>facelets.LIBRARIES</param-name> <param-value> /WEB-INF/tags/jsf-ui.taglib.xml;/WEB-INF/tags/jsf-core.taglib.xml; /WEB-INF/tags/jsf-html.taglib.xml;/WEB-INF/tags/tr.taglib.xml;/WEB-INF/tags/tomahawk.taglib.xml; /WEB-INF/tags/rich.taglib.xml;/WEB-INF/tags/avaya.components.taglib.xml; </param-value> </context-param>

That's the way how you would proceed with self written taglibs.

Hi,
I dont know whether it will work for everyone or not! but it seems to work for me.

Goto jboss jsf-libs folder, that is
<JBOSS\>jboss-5.x.x.CR2->server->default->deploy->jbossweb.sar->jsf-libs

add the following jars if they are not there ...
myfaces-api-x.x.x.jar(myfaces-api-1.2.5.jar)
myfaces-impl-1.2.5.jar(myfaces-impl-1.2.5.jar)
myfaces-shared-impl-3.0.5.jar

Then open your ide (eclipse the one I used)
open web.xml file in the
webcontent->WEB-INF folder
and add this

<listener> <listener class> org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener </listener-class> </listener>

And then save the project and run the application.

in case if it does not run add the above jars to project lib folder too.
and check whether in the
<JBOSS\>jboss-5.x.x.CR2->server->default->deploy->jbossweb.sar->jsf-libs

folder jsf-facelets jar is included or not
wish you luck ...

A pretty simple solution is use latest Facelets 1.1.15. Thatâ€™s it.

I come after the battle but it has worked for me and the things to know for maven user is that the 1.1.15 can be found only in JBoss third party repository : https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/thirdparty-releases
