Cleaner HTML with JSF-Facelets

I seem to recall hearing of some type of extension or Servlet Filter or something which cleans up the HTML that Facelets or JSF renders. Does anyone know of anything like this?

Mixing simple HTML with JSF

Is there any way to mix some simple HTML in the middle of my JSF code? For example, in creating a data table, I want one of the columns to contain two values with a <br> between them. I tried this:
<h:data_table value="#{BeanColl}" var="_loopvar_TestBean" >
<h:column>
<f:subview id="abc">
      <h:output_text value="#{_loopvar_TestBean.name}" /> <BR />
      <h:output_text value="#{_loopvar_TestBean.city}" />
</f:subview>
</h:column>
</h:data_table>I also tried f:verbatim, which also was no good. I tried replacing the <br> with some text, just to see what was happening with it, and it was putting the text up above the table.
(My real problem is more complicated than just a <br>, so I am really looking for a more general answer. Eventually I will want to nest data_table tags.)
I'd be perfectly happy with a repeat tag of some sort, that just repeats the section of the page that it surrounds (which might contain text, HTML tags, and JSF tags) and doesn't try to help in building a table of any sort. In fact, this would make me a lot happier. But I don't find such a beast anywhere in the copious documentation.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Zag

Thanks all for advice so far. I have tried all the suggestions in here, and I still can't seem to get what I want. What I am really looking for is a simple repeat tag, without it giving me all the "help."
I tried Sergey's example, and it does, in fact, work fine in the header. However, to get the same behavior in the column itself does not seem to work. This code:
<h:data_table value="#{BeanColl}" var="_loopvar_TestBean" >
<h:column>
   
   <f:facet name="header">
      <f:subview id="abc">
          <h:output_text value="HeaderText1" />
          <f:verbatim escape="false"><BR /></f:verbatim>
          <h:output_text value="HeaderText2" />
     </f:subview>
   </f:facet>
   
      <h:subview id="abd">
          <h:output_text value="text1" />    
          <f:verbatim escape="false"><BR /></f:verbatim>
          <h:output_text value="#{_loopvar_TestBean.id}" />
     </h:subview>
</h:column>Here is the amazing thing: In my column data, the only tag which produces anything is the last output_text. I had thought that the problem had to do with the verbatim, but, in fact, JSF doesn't seem to want to produce any output that doesn't come directly from the loop variable! The first output_text in the column data, which should produce "text1" in each cell in the column, does not seem to do anything at all.
I have also tried using panel_group rather than subview, with the same results.
Is there some tag other than data_table which will repeat over data? I've looked, but maybe I'm just blind. I want something that does a lot less for me, and gives me the power to get what I actually want.
Any and all help and advice, even if it doesn't pan out, is greatly appreciated. (Do I sound desparate enough, yet?) :-)

Mixing HTML and JSF or better pure JSF Tags?

I'm relatively new to JSF, but i can say, i work with all the Web Standards in HTML and CSS.
So the HTML Render Results of JSF may not fit into a Web Developers Dreams of perfect HTML/CSS.
An Option i see is to use HTML and put only the dynamic parts in there as JSF Components.
What are the Pro's and Con's using HTML?
some stuff i can image:
Using pure JSF:
- May many components have impact to the performance?
- Mixed with HTML: What if the application should be rendered to another client pc (e.g. Mobile)?
What are your experiences?

The one downfall of mixing html with jsf, unless you use the f:verbatim tag, that the page is not properly represented in the component tree. Also depending on certain technologies you use (when I used ajax4jsf it worked this way) that the jsf component tree was rendered and then all the html was rendered at the end. This caused html tags and text that I had inside a jsf tag to be improperly displayed.
This though was the case when I was originally using jsf 1.1, so it may have been improved in later editions, but since I have become accustomed to writing the entire page in jsf tags I have not really tested that limit in the current version.

Very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and

I have discovered a very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and java instruction "request.getParameterNames()".
Suppose you have something like this, to render some datas form a Java Beans :
<h:dataTable value="#{TablesDb2Bean.myDataDb2ListSelection}" var="current" border="2" width="50%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="text-align: center">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="nameTableDb2" value="#{current.db2_name_table}"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
Everything works fine...
Suppose you want to get the name/value pairs for id="nameTableDb2" and #{current.db2_name_table} to process them in a servlet. Here is the HTML generated :
<td><span <span class="attribute-name">id=<span class="attribute-value">"j_id_jsp_1715189495_22:0:nameTableDb2">my-table-db2-xxxxx</span></td>
You think you can use the java instructions :
Enumeration NamesParam = request.getParameterNames();
while (NomsParam.hasMoreElements()) {
String NameParam = (String) NamesParam.nextElement();
out.println("<h4>"++NameParam+ "+</h4>);
YOU ARE WRONG : request.getParameterNames() wants the syntax *name="nameTableDb2" but JSF must use id="nameTableDb2" for "<h:outputText"... So, you can't process datas in a FORM generated with JSF in a Servlet ! Perhaps I have made an error, but really, I wonder which ?

While I certainly appreciate ejb's helpful responses, this thread shows up a difference in perspective between how I read the forum and how others do. Author ejb is correct in advising you to stay inside JSF for form processing if form processing is what you want to do.
However, I detect another aspect to this post which reminds me of something Marc Andreesen once said when he was trying to get Netscape off the ground: "there's no such thing as bad HTML."
In this case, I interpret ungar's request as a new feature request. Can I phrase it like this?
"Wouldn't it be nice if I could render my nice form with JSF but, in certain cases, when I REALLY know what I'm doing" just post out to a separate servlet? I know that in this case I'll be missing out on all the nice validation, conversion, l10n, i18n, ajax, portlet and other features provided by JSF".
If this is the case, because it really misses the point of JSF, we don't allow it, but we do have an issue filed for it
https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=127
If you can't wait for it to be fixed, you could decorate the FormRenderer to fix what you want.
I have an example in my JSF book that shows how to do this decoration. http://bit.ly/edburnsjsf2

Linking secure html link with JSF?

Hey all,
I do have a previous post regarding j_security_check and using container based security, but since this problem could be answered without it, checking to see how (j_security_check: http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=54464&tstart=0).
I want to be able to e-mail links with pre-populated attributes (identifiers, dates, what have you) but still have the link secure and require auth. But, I do want to automatically go to that linked page after auth. How does one do this with JSF?
thanks,
-D

Hi,
Please go through the below thread:

Hope this helps.

You'd need to put the right stuff in the url to make it work,
just like if
you were calling a page that's expecting GET params. I don't
really use the
HistoryManager, so you'll need to either look into this
yourself or ask
someone who knows more about it.

Do zou have an idea?

My doubts with JSF

From what I've learned about JSF so far, it is based on really good ideas but it is extremely frustrating to use if you wanna do more than just a "hello world" application.
Unfortunately, the reasons for my doubt seem to have made their way into JSF 2.
It all boils down to this: Component creation is a mess.
[1] casts and use of reflection everywhere
JSF combines disadvantages of Servlet based applications (need to recompile and restart context after changes) with some of scripted applications (no build time checks).
A lot of internal wiring is String based and cannot be validated at build time. Casts are needed everywhere, which has the same effect.
Besides, this makes custom component code really ugly.
[2] no good solution for component rendering
- Servlet-style inline HTML rendering sends us way back to the 90s. Hard to write, hard to read, hard to maintain.
- no support for HTML/CSS developers: they would have to work inside the renderer (Java code) but it's THEIR domain
- no simple strategy for creating first-class composite components
(by "first-class" i mean components with a Java-side behaviour (methods); Facelets compositions are cool but you cannot add logic)
Please don't get me wrong - I'd love to use JSF but I'm not eager to recommend it if every developer in my department will hate me for it.
So if anyone can show me that I'm wrong, it would make me happy!

I don't know what your requirements are, but I have written a couple dozen JSF applications over the last several years.
At least half of these have been commercial applications for the company I work for.
Some have been very simple - maybe half a dozen pages or so, and some have been VERY complex - upwards of 30 or more pages with very complex logic behind the scenes.
My background is from the application world, and I have been frustrated to some extent with JSF.
However, being able to create a page with a minimum amount of pain and being able to tie them into the backing beans for complex logic has been quite useful.
In several applications, I generate components dynamically in the backing bean code - that works fine.
I do not create custom components, since I have not found the need to do so.
All the basic functionality is in the standard JSF component libraries - although there are some things I would like to see.
I have found some things lacking, when compared to a strict Java (Swing) application environment, but have usually found adequate workarounds.
I have found that third party libraries - particularly ICEfaces makes the pages quite useful without having to do a bunch of JavaScript code.
There are third party libraries with some pretty robust components.
You may find that some of these have the functionality you need rather than developing your own custom components.
I don't know your requirements for custom components, but if you can get by with the standard libraries, or third party components, I do not think you will find an easier environment.
I am not sure why you are concerned so much about Casts.
This is basic to Java and most other programming languages, including C, C++, C## and to some extent Fortran and VB.
I guess some scripting languages are exceptions.
At any rate, for Java based web applications, I don't think there is an easier environment.
If you are going to be doing web applications, I think the only serious options are JSF or .NET.
I've used .NET a bit (not as much as JSF) and, IMHO, .NET probably has more flexibility and more robust components, but it was harder for me to use.
That may have just been the learning curve.

Latest version of Tiles appears not compatible with JSF 2

I have been doing java server faces for about a month now. In general, i very much like what I see. However, I found significant problems with Tiles. I have now spend about 8 hours trying to debug it. The book by David Geary and Cay Horstman have a whole section on tiles. However, the latest download of Tiles has changed significantly since the authors wrote the section. I have debugged and debugged to now I get the following in NetBeans:
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
java.lang.VerifyError: (class: com/sun/webui/jsf/renderkit/html/AccordionTabDesignTimeRenderer, method: encodeBegin signature: (Ljavax/faces/context/FacesContext;Ljavax/faces/component/UIComponent;)V) Incompatible argument to function

at com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener.configure(ConfigureListener.java:1028)
at com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener.configure(ConfigureListener.java:1100)
My only conclusion is that the latest version of tiles is not compatible with JSF 2.
Is anyone able to get the latest version of Tiles to work with JSF 2?

JSF + Tiles is not going anywhere. Most of the JSF components render at runtime whereas Tiles only works at compile-time. Tiles was designed to work with JSP not JSF, even though some people tried to use it for a while until they realize the big limitation.
Go and try JSF + Facelets. It'll solve many of your problems.

I am not able to deploy a ear in weblogic 11g

An error occurred during activation of changes, please see the log for details.
weblogic.application.ModuleException:

It is not much information to go on, but it smells like a library confict issue. There must be more to the stacktrace you are getting, please post the entire thing.
Do you maybe have multiple implementations of facelets floating around? For example, is there a facelets library present in the server while you are also deploying one with your application?
I'm sorry but it is hard to give any hard information without access to your system :( I would suggest you do some google searches, for example pasting error messages you are getting into google and seeing what you get.

Please help me in configuring JSF 1.2.

If you are new to JSF, then I'd try and simplify the environment in which you are working as the first step to achieving a successful outcome.
JSF 1.2 is a certified and well tested component of WLS, so we know it works. I'm not sure of the effect of all those additional modules you are adding in there -- it appears as if you have gotten a Faces implementation instantiated, but there could be some form of version difference/conflict since it can't find a method its looking for.
Using Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oepe/oepe_11115.html) you can build yourself out a pretty simple JSF application to get started from and deploy it to a WLS server. This would remove all the additional libraries you currently have, provide you with a bundled applicaton to deploy and give you a pretty good environment from which you can learn and experiment with JSF.

How to render a JSP page dynamically with JSF controls ??

Hi All,
I am new to JAVA and JSF. I am recently started doing a web project. First we started using plain JSP and servlets and now we are going to use JSF.
Now I am facing one problem with JSF. In a JSP page, I am having a combobox and a div and when i am selecting a value from the combo box, the div should be filled with some controls(like text boxes and comboboxes, buttons, etc) according to the selection.
I have done this in plain JSP with the help of XML/XSLT, AJAX and JavaScript. i.e. XML contains the details of the controls and XSLT transformer will give me controls in a string format in the server, AJAX helps to retrieve it and I have to simply set the div.innerHTML property to that string. It is working fine.
Now with JSF, I need to add JSF controls into my XML file, and it inturn returns the corresponding string having JSF controls easily, but i could not set it directly to div's innerHTML as the String contains JSF controls (Moreover, these JSF controls are linked with JAVA beans).
Is there any provision to add JSF controls to a running page dynamically or is there any provision to convert the above mentioned string of JSF controls to normal HTML controls like the JSF taglibraries doing.??
thanks in advance
noushad

That's simply asking for trouble. Do not suggest to use JSTL in combination with JSF.
JSF already provides almost everything which the JSTL flow control tags provides in flavour of the 'rendered' attribute.

How can one produce dynamic XSLT (.xsl) file with JSF

I've googled, I've searched and I've found nata on how to do this. I've tried trial and error but I still cannot get my .xhtml file to include my <xsl:stylesheet ..> declarations and syntax in my final output to the browser. Anybody have any (non-hack) ideas on how to do this? Actually, if hacks is all there is, then I suppose they are welcome too, but a legit way is preferable. Tutorials and documentation fail to tell me how to do this. As illustrated in the following, the xsl specific content removed from the final output to the browser. I don't want it removed. Any ideas?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
    <xsl:output method="html" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="xxx">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
          xmlns:t="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk">
     <ui:composition template="xxxx">
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>{code}

I realized this after viewing the first several outputs and decided to post this as a problem on this forum right here at this particular location.
I also discovered that I was able to include outer text by wrapping everything within <ui:decorate template=".."></ui:decorate>{code} tags. I simply wish to know how one manages to include their own namespaced tags in the final output when they are NOT outputing to standard HTML/XHTML, such as XML or XSL.
Thanks for your input.

Tiles works with jsf but....

Hi guys,
i've a jsf application and i've tried to improve its layout with Tiles of Struts and everythings work,infact each page has its layout fixed.
I've used one header,one footer,one left menu(for quickly navigation and language selection and personal content of each page.
My question is:
if i navigate throught my application it's ok,when i use quickly navigation on left menu it's ok.
The problem is when i click on buttons that performs not only navigation,but also java logic,i've this exception (but the operation requested,as insert in database,delete etc...are done!!!!)
GRAVE: Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception

     NavigationHandler _base;

          _base = base;
     public void handleNavigation(FacesContext fc, String actionMethod, String action) {
          int atPosition = action.indexOf(menuId);
          if (atPosition < 0) {
               _base.handleNavigation(fc, actionMethod, action);
          } else {
               String viewId = fc.getViewRoot().getViewId();
               fc.getViewRoot().setViewId(menuId);
               String newAction = action.substring(0, atPosition);
               _base.handleNavigation(fc, actionMethod, newAction);
}that comes from a jsf-tiles example downloaded from core Java server faces book..i'vent understood too well this navigation,can someone help me to understand it and solve my exception??
Thanks very much....(i use exadel studio pro 4,jsf 1.1.0.1,servlet 2.3 and tiles from struts 1.1)

giubat: I've stuggled with getting Tiles to work correctly with JSF.
If your not to far into your project, I strongly recommend Facelets, it is very simple to include other JSF files and the syntax is XML formatted which allows Exadel Studio 4.0 to check your pages.
You'll need to change you actual page extension to .xhtml, which Exadel Studio handles nicely...
Tiles is just a waste of time when combined with JSF...
