Faces-config.xml is the only configuration file or we can keep more

Hi All,
1) faces-config.xml is the only name specification allowed in JSF for configuration file or can we use another name for this configuration (like as struts) ?
2) can we have multiple configuration files in JSF like as struts contains multiple configuration files for navigation ?
Thanks,
Rajesh Yarlagadda

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.
}

What is the rule for adding application elements to faces-config.xml

I have posed this question before, but was unable to get an answer so here goes again.
What is the rule for adding more than one application element to the faces-config.xml?
The schema documents that 1-n are possible, but why and when should I do this?

sorry if you don't login in tomcat administration before. you must enter login and password of a manager user on tomcat .
The user is the one you give when installing tomcat.
If you have forgotten it : see it to: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\conf\tomcat_users.xml
and choose one whop have role='manager'

Studio creator and faces-config.xml

How can I configure Sun Studio Creator to use /WEB-INF/faces-config.xml for all configuration items. Currently navigation and managed beans are seperated into 2 files. I have a bunch of JSF application with using another tool that I would like to test editing using Studio Creator but the Sun Studio Creator ignores the faces-config.xml for the navigation editor and managed bean editor.

Localization of adf faces-config.xml

I have defined my ADF process train component and menu items in my faces-config.xml. The definition has got the label for these components in the faces-config.xml How can I localize these labels so that I can support multiple languages. The managed bean for my process train component is
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>customerInfo</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>view.faces.menu.PersonalTrackerMenuItem</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>none</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>viewId</property-name>
<value>/customerinfo.jsp</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>label</property-name>
<value>Customer Information</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>outcome</property-name>
<value>guide.customerinfo</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
I would like to know how to get the Customer Information label from a properties file instead of hardcoding it in the faces-config.xml

Hi Frank
Thanks for your response. I understand that we need to use different locales but for this to work all the labels need to be parameterized to the properties file. This is straight forward when it comes to labels in the JSP pages where we load the bundle with
<f:loadBundle basename="myBundle.myBundle" var="sampleBundle"> and refer to a property as <f:commandButton value="#{sampleBundle.myButtonText}"/> my problem is how to do this when the label I want to parameterize is in the faces-config.xml

I just said that it is not necessary to add something special to faces-config.xml in order to get JSF works in portlet environment. I successfully use JSF with WSP and JBoss Portal (MyFaces).
MyFaces has own implementation of bridge called MyFacesGenericPortlet while for Sun RI you have to use JSF Portlet Bridge. JSF Portlet bridge can be used with MyFaces as well.
Such a bridge invokes lifecycle.execute or lifecycle.render to execute JSF phases depending on request. So all phases or Render Response phase is invoked accordingly.

What belongs in the faces-config.xml file? Just bean and navigation info?

I am looking for detailed information on the faces-config.xml file.
I've used examples up to this point and I was wondering where the documentation for this configuration file was at.
At this point, I know that bean management and navigation information is in this file, but are there other settings?
Thanks,
--Todd

Pringi: The tag explantion information, why isn't that easily found on Sun's web site or document site?
This has been the most frustrating part - finding pieces of information here and there... and not in one location.

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.

If anyone has any information to help me I would appreciate it, thank you.

i replaced the "faces-config.oxd_faces" file. it is found under:
C:\jdevadf\jdev\YourApplication\ViewController\model\public_html\WEB-INF
if you have an older copy of this file, just replace it, your faces-config.xml file might get moved around, mine took me over an hour to rearrange my page flows but it did the trick.

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,

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

Working with multiple faces-config.xml files

I would organize the menu definitions of my application in different faces-config.xml files. I would also put the label in different properties files.
The SRDemo application uses a unique properties file for the menu used in the el expression from the faces-config.xml.
Is it possible to have the same approach with not only one faces-config.xml file but has many faces-config.xml i want for my application.
If yes does the binding name to be different or may be the same for each file ?

We still have a litlle problem we don't find the reason. May be you can help us.
The second menu level never appear in the menu list. The menu list appear as empty.
The menu bar seem to be correct. We put twice the same model tree to be sure it was working well. Both menu appears. It is correct.

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

Faces-config.xml is the only configuration file or we can keep more
