Using JSF for JBoss 4.0.5

samwiseatcgi Nov 17, 2006 10:27 AM

Hi, I'm very new to JBoss, Eclipse, and JSF. I have done some programming in Java, however. It is my understanding that the jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar files are required to run JSF. Can someone confirm this? Also, does anyone have a web.xml file that is configured to run JSF? I can't seem to get mine right. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, I should add that I've attempted to run MyFaces on my JBoss AS, so I have a ton of .jar files in C:\jboss-4.0.5\server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\jsf-libs, but I'm just wondering if the jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar files need to be there too, or just in the WEB-INF file, or in the classpath.

You should not add your own jar files to \jsf-libs. Also, you should not duplicate the jars that are already in \jsf-libs.

For a web app, the usual place to put application jars is in your WAR under \WEB-INF\lib.

JBoss ships with everything you need to run a JSF application. However, you might need to add jars to your WAR for any component libraries you are using.

See these pages for instructions on using JSF with JBoss:
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossFaces
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossWithIntegratedMyFaces

The second page has a sample web.xml at the bottom.
