Dynamic reloading of faces-config.xml

Is there an easy way outside reloading the webapp to get the faces-config.xml to reload? If the implementation does not automatically watch for timestamp changes, is there a way to force it to reload?
thanks,
Andy

Put several message-bundle in faces-config.xml

Hello,
I want to put several message bundle in faces-config.xml.
How can I do that?
I tried the following but it didn't worked
<application>
     <locale-config>
          <default-locale>fr</default-locale>
     </locale-config>
     <message-bundle>
          messages.Messages_fr
     </message-bundle>
     <message-bundle>
          messages.Messages_en
     </message-bundle>
</application>

the system will get automatically the right file depending on the Locale object , so you do not have to mention each file in the faces-config.xml
<locale-config>
<default-locale>fr</default-locale>
<supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
the supported locale is used by JSF when readind the HTTP header and depending on the language, it will choose the right mesages bundle
The best way to process is to bind the locale property of the tag <f:view locale=#{Bean.locale}> and to change it dynamically (see class Locale in the sun API)

Problem w.r.t. JSF 2.0 with faces-config.xml

Hi All,
I am trying to evaluate the features of JSF2.0.
For that, I have created a very simple application with "JSF 2.0.2".
There is a page that displays a composite component and some other form related components (inputtext, commandbutton).
When I deploy my application without any faces-config.xml file, everything renders perfectly fine.
When I deploy the app with faces-config.xml (even an empty one without any configuration), none of the components get rendered.
Only the html elements get displayed.
I need to define some navigation-rules in my config file. I am not sure how to go further from here.
The app server I am using for deploying my app is GlassFish(v3).
Any help or pointers towards solving my problem are highly appreciated.
You can find the xhtml file, etc of my project below.
Thank you,
With best regards,
Praveen

How to specify multiple message bundles in faces-config.xml

Hi
I have different properties file which I want to use as message bundle.
Message.properties
Help.properties
When I specify this in faces-config.xml
<application>
<message-bundle>/Message</message-bundle>
<message-bundle>/Help</message-bundle>
</application>
and now when I try to use that in my jsp page like this
<f:loadBundle basename="/Message" var="message"/>
<f:loadBundle basename="/Help" var="help"/>
and access any messagestring from those files I can not excess either of them. But when I use only one of them it works fine.
Am I doing something wrong or I can not do this thing at all??
Thanks in advance.

I only specify one properties file in the <application> tag. That one is used for system messages. I have other properties files for labels, and another for just standard app text, so in my faces-config.xml I have something like this:
<application>
<message-bundle>message</message-bundle>
<locale-config>
<default-locale>en</default-locale>
</locale-config>
</application>
where my message.properties is used for system messages (validation, etc).
I don't list the other property files there. I have two more that I use, labels_en.properties, and standard_en.properties. Labels are words that have a : at the end or a *: for required fields. Standard are just other words that I use in my application. So on every page that I have, I start out with the following header:
<html>
<f:view locale="en_US">
<head>
<f:loadBundle basename="label" var="label"/>
<f:loadBundle basename="standard" var="standard"/>
<title>

JDeveloper 11.1.2.4: Is it possible to only display custom validator IDs defined in faces-config.xml

I have many custom validators and do not need to see the default values as listed in the below screen shot:
http://i.imgur.com/xOQgxeZ.png
Is it possible to only show the custom validators I define within faces-config.xml?
Thanks,
Wes

Deepak,
don't understand this sentence:
"Do not specify the binding attribute value in the f:validator tag for the bindings not to display."
Wes,
The answer to the question seems to be "no" you cannot suppress the other validator entries as they too are configured in a faces config file - though not the one in the application

Issue with faces-config.xml file

Hi,
I'm working on a project which needs more no. of JSF Pages and JSF Navigations,
But when i trying to creat pages more than 25 pages,the process becoming too slow,does this
effects the Application performance?Can any one suggest me why it happens and what are the
limitations for creating the JSF pages.
Does their any alternative to solve this Issue,I'm thing to create more faces-config.xml files as the
Jsf pages increases,does this solves?
Please suggest me.
Thank you,
Bandaru,

Hi Bandaru,
Are you trying to use the visual diagram option of faces-config? Coz i encountered difficulties when using it with many pages (more than 40) and the faces-config.oxd_faces was no longer able to support the diagram. "Solution" was to use only the overview and the sources of the faces-config. I don't know exactly but my problems were caused by the faces-config.oxd_faces and i don't think it affects performances for the application.
For information, that was on a Jdev 10.1.3.0.4
Regards,
Tif

Reference faces-config.xml file from java code.

I would like to reference the navigation rules I have set up in my faces-config.xml file from inside my source code.
For example:
Navigation Rule:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>pricingEngine</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/faces/template/t_pricing_engine.jsf</to-view-id>
<redirect/>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
I would like do some sort of lookup by 'pricingEngine' and get '/faces/template/t_pricing_engine.jsf' back.
Any ideas?

Faces-config.xml XML parser problem ???

I'm taking below error message when I was opening faces-config.xml file with diagram view, what's the exact solution of this problem???

I looked very well, there was'nt any error on line 24 about "<", I think if the size of faces-confic.xml file increased JDeveloper XML Parser cannot parse with high file size, what're other solutions?

More than one faces-config.xml

hi!
i am working in a big team, and would like to create more than one faces-config.xml file.
is it possible? how?

Yes!! You can create multiple faces-config.xml files.
Make changes in your deployment descriptor to include multiple faces config files:
<context-param>
     <param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
     <param-value>/WEB-INF/config/faces-config-one.xml,
     /WEB-INF/config/faces-config-two.xml,
     /WEB-INF/config/faces-config-three.xml,
     /WEB-INF/config/faces-config-four.xml</param-value>
</context-param>When there are too many modules, with many people working on the project simultaneously, having multiple faces config files makes it a lot more easier to manage.

Bug in faces-config.xml parser?

According to the spec, the FactoryFinder is supposed to call the one-arg constructor taking the Abstract factory. For instance, I have this factory class:
public class ExtendedLifecycleFactory extends LifecycleFactory {
public ExtendedLifecycleFactory(LifecycleFactory base) {
    // this is supposed to be called by the FactoryFinder
public ExtendedLifecycleFactory() {
    // this is not
}And I have the following definition in my faces-config.xml:
<faces-config>
<factory>
    <lifecycle-factory>com.foo.ExtendedLifecycleFactory</lifecycle-factory>
</factory>
</faces-config>For some reason, my one-arg constructor isn't being called.
According to the FactoryFinder source, it appears that it maintains an internal list of all of the factories of a given type passed to it via the setFactory() method. Then, it starts at the last entry in the list (which should be the default implementation) and iterates through to the first one passing the previous implementation to each one in the iteration. Here is pseudo-code:
Factory prev = list.get(list.size() - 1);
for (int i = list.size() - 2; i >= 0; i--) {
prev = callOneArgFirstAndNoArgSecond(list.get(i), prev);
return prev;When I debugged the FactoryFinder, it appears that the parser for the faces-config.xml file never calls FactoryFinder.setFactory() with the default implementation. It seems that this is a bug since the JSF 1.0 spec lists this as the last step in finding a factory for the faces application.
Am I correct in this assumption?
I'm hoping Craig will answer this one as I've thoroughly done my homework! :-)

Hello,
Yes, you are correct, this was a problem with the 1.0 RI and has been corrected.
This fix will be made available with the next release.

The Managed Bean in the faces-config.xml File

I am still very new to JSF. I am confused about the managed bean.
For example, I have a button in my web page. A click on this button invokes an action; say, ListAction.java.
In this ListAction class, I instantiate a business delegate; say, ListPersonnel.java and call a method in this business delegate to return an ArrayList: personnel. Of course, this business delegate goes through facade, DAO, etc. to populate the ArrayList. This ArrayList is a collecation of a JavaBean called PersonnelBean that gets and sets a number of personnel information; such as ssn, name, etc.
Upon this ArrayList is successfully populated and received by the ListAction class, I am going to display a web page with a table. In JSF, it is <h:dataTable ...>.
My questions are regarding the managed bean in the faces-config.xml file.
1. Which one is my <managed-bean-class>? packageName.ListAction? or packageName.PersonnelBean? or something else?
2. What should be my <managed-bean-name>? I guess that I can give a name I like. Is it right? What about xyz?
3. Then, how do I specify the "value" attribute of my <h:dataTable ...> tag when I display a web page to show the data table? Is it correct to specify value="#{xyz.personnel}"? What is the correct specification if it is wrong?
4. I guess that I can give any name to the "var" attribute in the <h:dataTable ...> tag. Is it right?

1. Which one is my <managed-bean-class>?
packageName.ListAction? or
packageName.PersonnelBean? or something else?ListAction
2. What should be my <managed-bean-name>? I guess
that I can give a name I like. Is it right? What
about xyz?Anything you like. xyz is OK.
3. Then, how do I specify the "value" attribute of my
<h:dataTable ...> tag when I display a web page to
show the data table? Is it correct to specify
value="#{xyz.personnel}"? What is the correct
specification if it is wrong?xyz.personnel is OK assuming that ListAction class has a public
method getPersonnel() which returns the ArrayList of PersonnellBeans.
4. I guess that I can give any name to the "var"
attribute in the <h:dataTable ...> tag. Is it right?Yes, you can give any name you like.

Read faces-config.xml in the runtime

I coding a new phaselistener in my app...
I need to list all managed-beans inside faces-config.xml and the classes...
Exists way to get this information without parse manually faces-config.xml ?
The API has way ?

No.
Good practice is to extend or implement all backing beans one superbean, for example BaseBean, and then in the phaselistener do something like:if (someFoundObject instanceof BaseBean) {
// it's a managed bean instance.
}

Sun-faces-config.xml question

Hello all,
maybe this question is a bit silly, but i�m a newbie to this. I�m developing a complib file with a custom component; and I want to add custom properties to it. As far as I�ve done, i�m able to add custom string properties via the "StringPropertyEditor"
All this is done in the sun-faces-config.xml file, and when I declare a property which can be set via a combo-box, this is, with a "SelectOneDomainEditor" in the sun-faces-config.xml, I don�t know how to populate this combo with data to be shown so it can be selected in the properties window.
I�d be truly grateful to anyone who can help me out, maybe a short sample or fraction of a sun-faces-config would be fine.
Thanks everyone in advance, and sorry for the long read,
MANUEL ANS�N.
