Faces-config

I have a page with a submit button that I want to open a pdf file. In my backing bean, I have:
public String submit() {
          return "download_coupons";
     }In my faces-config.xml file I have:
<navigation-rule>
          <from-view-id>/coupons.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
          <from-outcome>download_coupons</from-outcome>
          <to-view-id>/images/online_cpns.pdf</to-view-id>
     </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
When i submit my page, I get a 404 error. Can I go to a pdf file this way?
Thanks

Have you tried <redirect /> inside of your navigation rules?
JSF performs an HTTP redirect and calls
responseComplete() on the FacesContext
instance for the current request. So <redirect/> produces
a non-faces response.

What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config - when delpoy ?

What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config? When I create navigation between pages with ADF task flow then the navigation don't work when I deploy my application to Weblogic 10.3. When I use default server then navigation works fine. With Faces_config in both situations all works ok - on Stanalone server and default.
Where is the problem?
Best regards!

Shay, I don't use both faces-config and adf task flow! When I failed with task flow I tried faces-config.
I have active on my weblogic - adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.0.0). This is the right ADF? If yes then where is the problem?
Best regards!

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

JSF Converter how to use property in faces-config

I have made an Converter for my listbox, and it is working.
Now I want to use a property to change the behavior of the converter.
My faces-config looks like this:

<converter>
<converter-for class>model.PacemakerBranche</converter-for-class>
     <converter-class>cconverter.BrancheConverter</converter-class>
     <property>
          <property-name>test</property-name>
          <property-class>java.lang.String</property-class>
          <default-value>12345</default-value>
     </property>
</converter>
I try to set the test property to 12345.
The setTest(String test) is not set.
What am I doing wrong??
My converter looks like this:
public class BrancheConverter implements Converter {
private String test;
public String getTest() {
System.out.println("getTest " + test);
return test;
public void setTest(String test) {
System.out.println("setTest " + test);
this.test = test;
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext ctx, UIComponent component,
String value) {
return getMgr(ctx).getObject(model.PacemakerBranche.class, new Long(value));
public String getAsString(FacesContext ctx, UIComponent component,
Object object) {
return ((BaseObject) object).getId().toString();
private Manager getMgr(FacesContext ctx) throws HibernateException {
return (Manager) FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(ctx).getBean("manager");
}

You can't use f:converter tag for setting properties.
There are two ways you can use:
(1) use f:attribute tag
ex.<h:inputText value="#{...}"/>
<f:converter converterId="...."/>
<f:attribute name="test" value="#{...}"/>
</h:inputText>Note that you should get the value of the attribute from the UIInput component, something like:comp.getAttributes.get("test");(2) develop a custom converter tag.

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?

Access Another Class' Property Value That is Defined in the faces-config?

I have a private property "dataTransferType" with public getter and setter in the DataFile class. The initial value of the "dataTransferType" is defined in the faces-config.xml file. I want to get the "initial value" of the "dataTransferType" in another class and the compiler does not like the way I access this property.
Here is the snippet of the DataFile class, which shows the declaration and the getter and setter for the property:
public class DataFile implements java.io.Serializable
     private String dataTransferType;
     public DataFile(){}
    public DataFile( String aDataTransferType )
        this.dataTransferType = aDataTransferType;
     public String getDataTransferType()
          return dataTransferType;
     public void setDataTransferType( String dataTransferType )
          this.dataTransferType = dataTransferType;
}Here is the way that the initial value of the "dataTransferPropery" is set in the faces-config.xml file:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>dataFile</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>propertyBeans.DataFile</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
   <property-name>dataTransferType</property-name>
   <property-class>java.lang.String</property-class>
   <value>importFile</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>Now, in another class FileManagementBean, I first instantiate the DataFile class
private DataFile datafile;and then in the constructor of the FileManagementBean I tried to access the initial value of the property "dataTransferType":
this.recordItems = this.getRecordsList( datafile.dataTransferType );The compiler did not like it at all.
But, if I arbitrary introduced a String in the FileManagementBean:
String defaultSelectedDataTransferType = "importFile";
this.recordItems = this.getRecordsList( defaultSelectedDataTransferType );My code worked as I had expected without any problem.

Thanks for all your attention.
The runtime error is rather strange:
>
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.faces.FacesException: javax.faces.FacesException: Can't instantiate class: 'actions.DataManagementBean'.. class actions.DataManagementBean : java.lang.NullPointerException
The DataManagementBean is the class that accesses the property "dataTransferType" in the DataFile class. And the initial value of the "dataTransferType" is defined in the faces-config.xml file.
If I arbitrarily introduced a String value in the DataManagementBean:
String defaultSelectedDataTransferType = "importFile"and in the DataManagementBean's constructor, I use this statement:
this.recordItems = this.getRecordsList( defaultSelectedDataTransferType );Things worked as I had expected without problem. But, I think this is not an elegant way of coding it. Because there is a pre-defined value of dataTransferType in the faces-config.xml file, I should access it from there.
But, when I specify:
this.recordItems = this.getRecordsList( datafile.getDataTransferType() );The DataManagementBean cannot even be instantiated!
In my faces-config.xml file, I have:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>dataManagementBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>actions.DataManagementBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
   <property-name>datafile</property-name>
   <property-class>propertyBeans.DataFile</property-class>
   <value>#{dataFile}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>dataFile</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>propertyBeans.DataFile</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
   <property-name>dataTransferType</property-name>
   <property-class>java.lang.String</property-class>
   <value>importFile</value>
</managed-property>

This looks like you're using EA4. Please upgrade to the beta, which has substantially changed the mechanisms for translations.

When To Use redirect/ In faces-config.xml

In what situations should I use <redirect/> in faces-config. I understand what that using it causes it to generate a HTTP redirect instead of redirection through the view handler.
I have ran into situations where if I don't use redirect, evein in a request scoped bean data isn't completely cleared out of a form. IE I have a list of users with a list of their addresses. If I look at an address on user 1 I see the right details, if I then move to user2 and look at one of his addresses it reflects the information from user1. As soon as I add <redirect/> the problem disappears.

You normally use it to fire a brand new request.
If I look at an address on user 1 I see the right details, if I then move to user2 and look at one of his addresses it reflects the information from user1. As soon as I add <redirect/> the problem disappears.This rather sounds like faulty code logic. Debug it.

Faces config exception - Can't get value from value binding expression:

class UserRights{

   //accessors
}now, the shown property picks correct value for #{userDetail.admin} but gives erros on this. any idea how to get around this exception:
Managedbean menuItem_Department could not be created Can't get value from value binding expression: '#{userDetail.mDept}'.

well, i figured out the problem so thought to share with all aswell.
all i changed was the name of the variable from mDept to dept.
java beans has its own set of rules and naming conventions which i have not read much about but this problem had to do sumthing with that!
just changing the name simply works fine!

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.
