Current status of Tiles and JSF integration

Hi. I am new to JSF, and I have been researching Tiles integration with JSF. I've read a lot of posts about difficulties encountered when integrating them, and other posts seem to suggest that it is definitely do-able (some posts say using Shale Tiles is the way to go instead of using Struts tiles.)
I have not found any definitive or straight forward tutorial on integrating Tiles and JSF. Is it a matter of the JSF technology not being fully developed? Will tiles be easily integrated (as it is in Struts) in the future, without jumping through hoops?
Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I would rather not use JSF w/ JSP includes as an alternative. It seems as though Struts would be a better choice for what I have to do, unless I can integrate JSF and tiles functionality with relative ease.
Thanks.

It's certainly possible that there's some sort of impedance mismatch between the two, but Tiles support is hardly the measure of a framework's maturity. :P
Having said that, I really can't say much more than that with regard to Tiles. What I can suggest, though, is JSFTemplating or Facelets. Both are mature products, engineered specifically for use with JSF. Facelets is probably the more popular of the two and is slated for inclusion in JSF 2.0 in some form, while JSFTemplating, which supports the Facelets syntax, is another strong alternative (which, incidentally, is what powers the GlassFish admin GUI).
Hope that helps...

Struts and JSF Integration in OPDk-java based portlet

Hi,
thanks in advance for your help.
I'm developing a PDK java based portlet. For some reasons I cannot use the JSF bridge but I would like to integrate Struts and Jsf in my portlet, using Struts to manage actions and navigation and JSF (with ADF Faces components) for the view. I'm using the Strus-Faces library.
When I try to submit my portlet form, I receive the error "request URL not found on this server". I'm posting some exstracts of my code.
It's made of three pages: the main one "Integration1ShowPage", "error" and "result". The MainAction.java displays my mainPage, where there's a form. To keep it easy, when the user submits this form, the ActionName returns "success" and the "result" page should be displayed.
The MainAction works properly: the portlet is displayed but when I tried to submit the form I receive
The requested URL /provaDeploy/htdocs/integration1/integration1ShowPage.do was not found on this server.Could you please suggest me something?
Many many thanks,
B.

Hi,
have a look at this whitepaper for how to use JavaScript in ADF.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/1-2011-javascript-302460.pdf
This link here (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/index-101235.html --> see sample 71) shows an integration sample between a Java Applet and ADF. Its a similar use case to yours

Tiles 2 and JSF integration in tomcat 5.5.25

hi all,
"Tiles 2" is a new project extracted from Struts and is now integrated with various frameworks...
I'm wondering if anyone here succeed to run Tiles 2 with JSF on tomcat 5.5.25.
I'd downloaded a test from maven: (The test application is not working in my environment... i'll be happy to hear about any success from one of you...
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tiles/tiles-test/2.0.5/
File name: tiles-test-2.0.5.war
This test application should work on java 5.0.
I will be glad to here some advice,
thanks

Are you sure that a new session is being created in step 6? Tomcat can be configured to persist sessions between restarts. Maybe check getCreationTime() on the session?

Frames, Tiles and JSF

Hi,
I use frames in my web application.
Individual frames are laid out using tiles which basically assemble JSF components.
However I run into
[Exception in:/pages/common/header.jsf] Cannot forward after response has been committed
Is JSF & Frames & Tiles go well together. I depend on frames to give a resizing and scroll bar option to my left had navigation tree.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
Bala

It cannot work such way, because #{} is a syntax of the JSF EL working only inside the JSF tags. tiles:put is not a JSF tag. If your environment supports JSP 2.0 EL, you can use it

Integrating Struts, Tiles, and JavaServer Faces

I have tried some sample applications in jsf. They are working properly. Basically, our application is based on struts. We fee that that it will be difficult to convert struts based application into jsf. So we plan to integrate jsf components into struts application. I found a site http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-integrate/ where jsf-struts integration material has been given. For this integaration, struts-faces.jar is required. when i try to start the server after struts-faces-1.3.8.jar placed in Tomcat 5.5\common\lib folder, server is not started properly. I have found struts-faces-1.3.8.jar in struts-1.3.8-lib. Should I user struts-faces.jar? if it is so, Where to find struts-faces.jar Please provide a solution for this problem.

Wow, Srikanth. What a great contribution! I'm right at the begining of the design phase of a project that will hopefully go live in March and while I had already settled on a Tiles/Struts approach, I was really wanting to bring in JSF as well. I'm glad to see that someone is actively working on the integration components. I hope that the code modifications you propose make it into the Struts-Faces libraries soon.
One question. While I've been deveolping J2EE webapps for a couple of years now,
I'm still a little new to the Struts/Tiles arena. After reading your article at IBM developerWorks I wasn't able to ascertain whether or not what you proposed worked with the idea of individual controllers for each tile, which is a pattern that my project will need to adopt (I read about it in the short article here - http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=Tiles101).
Can you shed some light on the subject? Will the modifications you proposed allow Tiles to continue to work in that fashion?
-Matt Welch
Hi,
Currently JSF, Struts and Tiles cannot work together
out of the box.
Craig McClanahan has come up with Struts-Faces which
lets you integrate Struts and JSF. This is ideal for
projects who want to protect their code investment in
Struts and also want to take advantage of JSF once it
is final.
Unfortunately if you are also using Tiles, this is not
possible because of some showstoppers on your way. I
started on this venture a while back and ran into the
same problems and decided to write some code - on top
of Struts-Faces and was pretty successful.
I am sharing this knowledge with the rest of you with
this article of mine on IBM developerWorks
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-integra
e/
As already pointed out in this forum earlier, this
article covers the steps to integrate the three and
provides complete source code and also a working
example.
Hope you will find the article and the code useful.
Thanks,
Srikanth

JSF Actions and ActionListeners with Tiles and forms

I�m having a problem trying to use the Tiles functionality in Struts 1.1 with JSF and was wondering if anyone could help me.
I have defined a very simple header, menu, content Tile that doesn�t involve nesting of tiles (ExampleTile_content1Level.jsp).
I have 3 JSP pages, the first testHarness.jsp is NOT built using Tiles and is just used to load some test data into a session scoped bean using an actionListener and then forward to a Tile generated page (ExampleTile3.jsp) using a hard-coded action �applicationSummary� when a commandLink is pressed. This works fine for both the action and actionListener.
ExampleTile3.jsp contains another commandLink that is meant to forward to another tile ExampleTile2.jsp. This also works until I try to add the <h:form> � </h:form> tag around the outside of the <h:panelGrid> tags in ExampleContent1.jsp when the action and actionListener then fail to fire and I get an �Error on Page� message in Explorer the detail of which says �Error �com_sun_rave_web_ui_appbase_renderer_CommandLinkRendererer� is null or not an object�.
However I need a form so that I can bind UI controls to data from the bean stored in the session scope. This is only a problem when I use Tiles to define the pages. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everybody,
I want to overload a method so it can take either 2 Actions, 2 ActionListeners, or one of each. The issue with this is that I'd have to make 4 overloaded signatures and almost identical methods, like this:
method( action, action )
method( action, listener )
method( listener, action )
method( listener, listener )
Well, if you want to support that then you are just going to have to do suffer through it, the only shortcut I can recommend is that your method(action, listener) and method(listener, action) are the same so you only have to implement 1 and just use the other as a entry point to call the one you wish to contain the code.

JSF Tiles and Struts ActionForward

Hi All
I would like to use Tiles with my JSF application.
In order to get the best from Tiles i would like to use definitions.
the problem that most of the power of Tiles and definitions is coming from the use of ActionForward.
Does any one now how i can implement ActionForward with struts definition name in the Navigation in JSF.
I understand that i need to hack the Navigation model and get the Tiles bean from the Tiles using the outcome value.
Then i know that i need some how to get the tree that generates and forward it to the JSF or somthing like this.
Does any one have an idea how to do it???
Thanks

hi,
in MyFaces there is an example using JSF and Tiles.
MyFaces provides a custom ViewHandler faciltity.

JSF with TILES and HTML-Code

Hello!
I have a pure JSP-project using tiles. Now I want to migrate to JSF and find some problems.
When I use my existing layout and include the different JSPs I have no problem as long I have a single f:view in every jsp file is used. When I try to define f:view and a h:form including different files and in each file JSF componets where used I got a very bad result. Additiotal I have to say, that I try to keep my formatting with HTML tags existing.
The effect is, that all JSF componets were rendered at the beginning of the jsp file and than be included into the layout.
Have I use a special order of f:view, f:subview, h:form, ....
Alternative I could make a complete reprogramming of the JSP's, not my favourit, but than I need the possibility to set single formats for each <td> in a table and this seems not to be possible with h:panelGrid.
Havy anyone an idea?
Thanks for your help!

Current Status of Creative Suite 3 and Snow Leopard?

I currently have both CS3 Web Design Premium (which includes Photoshop) and Adobe InDesign CS3... both suites essentially comprising all the apps and features of the standard CS3 Suite plus web design.
I know this has been discussed before, but I am assuming that further additional testing and usage has continued... and problems are being solved or not. And in the end an overall opinion or judgment has been reached regarding upgrading Leopard to Snow Leopard. I've been waiting it out to see what the outcome would be.
My Mac is the intel chip 24" Alum. 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Is the CS3 suite compatible with Snow Leopard? If not, what will be the cost or loss in terms of the applications? And, is it worth upgrading to it?
Experienced and knowledgeable feedback is very welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks.. have decided not to touch it. You make this kind of investment into software, you are not looking to have to compromise with erratic unpredictable software which in turn burns your time and patience.
Adobe's position is definitely unfortunate unfriendly and unappreciative. It's the arrogance towards what they have developed and a denial of the kind of investment it took to get into their software. The least they could have done was to offer a generous discount for upgrading.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. And here's to don't fix what's not broken

Subject: Current Status of Creative Suite 3 and Snow Leopard?
CS 3 is sort of compatible, but if you are using CS 3 for your livelihood, then stay with Leopard.
For example, Photoshop CS 3 functions adequately for a time, but ultimately starts to show erractic errors, then crashes. Also, excessive memory usage builds the longer it is used.
Adobe has stated it only supports CS 4 and 5 with Snow Leopard. I doubt further modifications will be made by Adobe to CS 3 to iron out the Snow Leopard incompatibilities. Rather unfortunate position, and certainly not a customer friendly approach, especially for anyone investing over $1,000 for software only 3 years old.
To add further fuel to the fire, CS 3 apps now crash in 10.6.3 due to Serial Number/API changes, "unforseen" by all parties.

Inconsistent 'Name' and 'Current Status' restricting ARD

I'm running ARD 3.2 Admin on an Intel iMac and am connecting to various clients on several subnets other than my own. All clients are at v3.2.1. The only way I could think of to really explain the problem is to show a picture of it:
http://picasaweb.google.com/cawaddling/ARD32/photo#5161072000414975378
The first two computers on the list are shown to be offline. However, I can still reach and control the first one on the list, while the second one actually is offline. The next 18 show the computer name correctly as given in the Sharing preference pane. The next four do NOT show the computer name, but instead show the DNS name and the current status says 'Screen Sharing Available'. For these four computers, I am not able to do any of the ARD functions such as installing applications and such - I am only able to share the screen.
Three of the problematic computers are using 10.5.1 and the other one uses 10.4.11, and all have ARD 3.2.1 client running on them. None of the computers has VNC turned on. All of the problem computers are on a subnet other than my own, but so too are most of the computers that are working properly.
I can't find any settings that are different between the good computers and the bad, so any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Chris, I'm having exactly the same problem as you, but to a much worse extent.=
http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/5451/ardtc8.png
Basically, it's crippling. Each of these is a laptop that has a unique name, but unless I can tell what laptop is what without going through and observing each one. And I'm dealing with 1000 laptops here, so it's crippling.
All of these laptops have mobile users, but I've set up a test-machine on my subnet with mobile users, and that works fine, so it's not the mobile users causing the problem. It's DEFINITELY something to do with the fact that all these computer are on different subnets and in different VLANs.
And it's crippling. Why oh why won't ARD get more development and support? We need an enterprise level solution (and are willing to pay for one) instead of this bug-riddled piece of rubbish.

JSF and JSTL integration

Can anyone tell me how to access JSF objects from JSTL tags?
I want to set a requestScope flag in my changeListener
... context.getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put("xxx","ok"); ... and render output depending on existance of this flag:
...<c:if test="${requestScope.xxx!=null}" > .... .
This examplecode doesn't work, JSTL tags cannot access this var! How can I do that?
What I realy want is to reload another frame when user changed a specific input field.
Above code should add a JavaScript to reload the frame if this is true .
I can't do this on submit because the other framepage uses the stored/modified data.
Maybe there's a better approach for this anyway?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help - I found it was my own mistake why it didn't work. Now it does, as you said.
But in the meentime I ran into another Problem mixing JSTL und JSF:
I want to build a SelectOneMenu and populate it with data from a database, but with selectItemValue
other than selectItemLabel (value should be numeric DB-ID, label a readable name).
Since "selectItems" allows only one dimensional Arrays (?) as parameter, I must use "selectItem" for
each row. So I wrote following code:
<h:selectOneMenu id="m1" value="#{worktime.employee}">
   <sql:query var="employees" dataSource="jdbc/WebOfficeDB">
       select oid,displayname from employees order by displayname asc
    </sql:query>
    <c:forEach var="row" items="${employees.rows}" >
       <f:selectItem itemValue="#{row.oid}" itemLabel="#{row.displayname}" />
    </c:forEach>
</h:selectOneMenu>This doesn't work, I get NullPointer Exceptions from selectItem.setValue().
I think because JSF "#" references another context than JSTL "$" - is this correct?
So I tried to set a JSTL variable inside the forEach loop to access the datarow
<c:set var="data" value="${row}" scope="request"/>
<f:selectItem itemValue="#{requestScope.data.oid}" itemLabel="#{requestScope.data.displayname}" />
...The effect is that all lines of the selectOneMenu have the same content (from the last datarecord)!?
Since this is my first project in JSTL and JSF and should stay a small one I don't want to go into building
CustomComponents and so on for such a simple Task.
I would be very very happy for some tips and hints, since I think this mixing of JSTL and JSF Context
will be a very common problem within my project.
Thanks

Status of Wiki and Forum updates/migration/changes

Hey all,
I've spent about two hours e-mailing and PMing various people interested in helping out with various wiki and forum tasks. This thread is an announcement of the current status, with the intent of getting everyone up to date. Its also an invitation to people working independently on things to get in touch with me ([email protected]), because I've found there's some duplicate labour going on out there. Please if you respond to this thread, keep on topic and be serious. Most of the current set up is about technical details; if you're not interested in these, don't post. Suggestions from interested observers can go in other threads (there's a lot to choose from!), I want actual feedback from people that are involved or willing to be involved with this project.
First, it looks like sometime in the future, we will be migrating the forums to punbb. The details haven't been hashed out yet, but Romashka and cactus have both been working on testing the migration process. Migration seems to be relatively simple, but there are a lot of small details to be worked out. I don't have any specific timeline, but I'm guessing the new forum won't be ready until sometime next year.
Second, we may be migrating to dokuwiki sometime in the future. I'm not sure when, but it probably won't be until after the forum migration or at the same time. Regardless of whether or not we migrate from mediawiki to dokuwiki, we are planning on integrating the wiki and forum authentication mechanism, so your account on one will also work on the other. (In the long run, I'm praying we can get organized enough to also integrate AUR and flyspray, but that's a vision not even open for discussion yet!).
Third, we are currently working on cleaning up the current mediawiki. Romashka is working on a new style and template to make the current installation more aesthetically tolerable. Foxbunny is working on the actual wiki texts, category, and language structure. Tardo has some kind of hack to deal with the multi-language issue; I'm not sure if that will be implemented, as I have no information yet on how difficult it is. Someone (possibly me) will also have to update the mediawiki installation from 1.5.whatever to 1.8.latest.
Chronologically, the cleanup of the current wiki will occur first, in the next few weeks, hopefully. Once we have an idea of how pretty and how organized we can make the existing installation, we will make the final decision on a dokuwiki migration. The integration of punbb and dokuwiki|mediawiki has to happen at about the same time, so the migration will not happen until after the forum migration.
We've have been considering setting up a mailing list or private forum for discussion of these topics, to restrict discussion to those people who are actually interested in helping out. Because I don't really like the elitist nature of such a move, I'm making this forum the place for open discussion on this topic for now.
Thanks,
Dusty
