Jsf and Seam

Hi,
I have a JSF project and would like to add a Captcha on the new user page.
I see several examples with Seam.

http://thelabdude.blogspot.com/2009/05/user-registration-solution-using-jboss.html
1) What do I need to add Seam to my app? Is it worth it from Captcha?
http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/paint2D.jsf?s=glassX
I copied this into my app to test and get several errors. I did not see the problem?
I see a NullPointer error..but dont know where to set it.

Going to seam might not be the answer to your problems. For one seam is not easy to get running on anything but a JBoss server (it is possible, but not easy). Secondly Seam is aimed at bringing JSF and EJBs closer together, among other things. Since you are running on Tomcat, I don't think you are using EJBs and therefore the use of Seam degrades greatly.
The root of the problem is easy enough to spot:
/loginTest.jsp(62,2) '#{paintBean.paint}'So what is this paintBean doing? If you have access to the code, you could check out the method that gives the error:
com.netfixup.java.PaintBean.paintto try and figure out what is null. SOMETHING is apparently not initialized properly, but unless the server logs can give you a hint what that something is, it is hard to help you further.

  • Clarrification about JSF and JBoss Seam

    Hi ,
    i have just started a couple of hours ago reading about JSF and JBoss Seam and it seems interesting ......
    here is my question :
    i have a form ( registration form ) written in jsp and a congratulation page (jsp page too)
    is right what i am saying ?
    JSF form ( input values) are sent to Seam to be validated under hibernate rules and then it( Seam ) responses to the JSF the entity bean .
    again JSF form asks Seam to resolve the variable Register ( the value of the submit button in the form) and Seam returns the RegisterACtion
    After that the same jsp page invoke the register method of the RegisterAction stateless session beam .inside the register method it redirect the user to congratulation jsp page .
    do you think its correct
    sorry folks for my english

  • Jsf and tiles via myfaces

    Greetings:
    Please either confirm and/or correct following proposed solution for Myfaces tiles.
    Issue: isert a tile definition and attribute in a pure jsf page.
    First passed solution: A hybrid of Jsp programming and Jsf. I was able to create a tile page layout in pure jsf except in the portal columns i used old fashion jsp programming to insert a list of portletDefinitions which is extracted from jsf ValueBinding of its managed beans.
    The problem with the above approach is that it works well only with html portlet fragments. When a portlet fragment has some jsf elements, the page rendering has conflict of simultaneous rendering between jsf and jsp. The portlet fragments are rendered in a woring place.
    Proposed solution: use <h:dataTable ...> to render the portletList and extract the item portletDefinition as following:
    <h:dataTable var="portlet"
    value="#{portalTabbedBean.selectedPane.serviceListL}" >
    <f:verbatim>
    <h:outputText
    value="<tiles:insert name=#{portlet.portletDefinition} flush='false' /> " />
    </f:verbatim>
    </h:dataTable>
    Note on the name of tiles:insert element, which i just extracted the definition as a jsp variable to make it work in the first hybrid solution:
    <tiles:insert name="<%=portletDefinition%>" flush="false" />
    Thanks
    BaTien
    DBGROUPS

    I reply this myself. Jsf and Jsp programming either via Jstl or while loop do not go together under current version.
    I solve the problem by using Jsp programming and insert the portlet tile fragment directly rather than though a portlet template with different tile content attribute. The portlet tile is created as <h:panelGrid ...> and observe the set rules to make Jsf and jsp working together. Hopefully Jsf and Jsp will be able to work together nicely in their next specifications.

  • Using JSF and JavaMail to send Automated Email

    Hi All,
    Can any one please suggest I can use JSF and JavaMail to send automated email messages i.e after a person has successfully completed a form , a message is sent to his/her email address confirming that he has succesfully registered or completed a form. I have succesfull implemeted the use of javamail for sending email meassages in a JSF web application but cant seem to figure out how i can achieve automated sending of emails in JSF. Please any ideas, tutorials or source code would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I don't understand your problem:
    You have already been able to send e-mails from a JSF webapplication, but you are not capable of sending e-mails from a JSF webapplication?!
    Automated sending of e-mails will be exactly the same as non-automated.

  • Using JSF and tiles

    Hi Friends,
    I'm trying to combine JSF and tiles as follows:

    </f:subview>
    content file:
    <tiles:insert definition="userSpecific">

    <h:outputText value="aaaa"/>
    </tiles:put>
    </tiles:insert>
    I get the following error when loading the content file:

    I tried putting the template content in a verbatim tag and then it works
    but the content page is not displayed in correct place in the template...
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Are you dead set on using tiles? I can see tiles including JSF but JSF including tiles? Not sure if that will work.
    My suggestion is to use Trinidad. It has the concept of Regions which is very "tiles" like and you will be far more successful.

  • JSP, JSF, and ADF

    I've just started playing around with this and was looking for samples/tutorials to help. Of the tutorials/samples I've seen, they appear to fall short of explaining an end-end example and stick mostly to JSF and the backing bean - usually displaying static data within a JSP and navigation. I'm a bit confused on how to call custom methods in my business services (application modules) and in turn use the view objects to fetch data from my database and display the results within a JSP using the JSF components.
    I realize the latest preview JDeveloper is without ADF but while I had time I was hoping to play around with ADF Faces to hit my development database. Guess I'm trying to make sense of how JSP, JSF, Business components, and my db connection all play together in order to set up a decent starting point for an app.

    You could use Jdeveloper 10G and play around with ADF Faces, look at the demos, and the sources behind them.
    There are a couple of papers on OTN like...
    Working with ADF Faces in JDev 10g:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/adfjsf/how-to-adf-faces-10gjdev.htm
    Roadmap for ADF Faces:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/9.0.5.0/adfuix_roadmap/adfuix_roadmap.html
    And many more... as I could find upon search...
    http://www.oracle.com/ultrasearch/wwws_otn/searchotn.jsp?p_Action=Search&p_Query=adf+faces
    The visual editing support for 'The ADF Model access through ADF Faces bindings' is under development (hence no tutorials), and will be available in future release (could be post 10G release).

  • JSF and Character Sets (UTF-8)

    Hi all,
    This question might have been asked before, but I'm going to ask it anyway because I'm completely puzzled by how this works in JSF.
    Let's begin with the basics, I have an application running on an OC4J servlet container, and am using JSF 1.1 (MyFaces). The problems I am having with this setup, is that it seems that the character encodings I want the server/client to use are not coming across correctly. I'm trying to enforce the application to be UTF-8, but after the response is rendered to my client, I've magically been reverted to ISO-8859-1, which is the main character set for the netherlands. However, I'm building the application to support proper internationalization; which means I NEED to use UTF-8.
    I've executed the following steps to reach this goal:
    - All JSP files contain page directives, noting the character set:
    <%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>I've checked the generated source that comes from the JSP's, it looks as expected.
    - I've created a servlet filter to set the character set directly on the request and response objects:
        public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
            // Set the characterencoding for the request and response streams.
            req.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
            res.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");       
            // Complete (continue) the processing chain.
            chain.doFilter(req, res); 
        }I've debugged the code, and this works fine, except for where JSF comes in. If I use the above situation, without going through JSF, my pages come back UTF-8. When I go through JSF, my pages come back as ISO-8859-1. I'm baffled as to what is causing this. On several forums, writing a filter was proposed as the solution, however this doesn't do it for me.
    It looks like somewhere internally in JSF the character set is changed to ISO. I've been through the sources, and I've found several pieces of code that support that theory. I've seen portions of code where the character set for the response is set to that of the request. Which in my case coming from a dutch system, will be ISO.
    How can this be prevented? Can anyone give some good insight on the inner workings of JSF with regards to character sets in specific? Could this be a servlet container problem?
    Many thanks in advance for your assistance,
    Jarno

    Jarno,
    I've been investigating JSF and character encodings a bit this weekend. And I have to say it's more than a little confusing. But I may have a little insight as to what's going on here.
    I have a post here:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=725929&tstart=45
    where I have a number of open questions regarding JSF 1.2's intended handling of character encodings. Please feel free to comment, as you're clearly struggling with some of the same questions I have.
    In MyFaces JSF 1.1 and JSF-RI 1.2 the handling appears to be dependent on the raw Content-Type header. Looking at the MyFaces implementation here -
    http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/legacy/tags/JSF_1_1_started/src/myfaces/org/apache/myfaces/application/jsp/JspViewHandlerImpl.java
    (which I'm not sure is the correct code, but it's the best I've found) it looks like the raw header Content-Type header is being parsed in handleCharacterEncoding. The resulting value (if not null) is used to set the request character encoding.
    The JSF-RI 1.2 code is similar - calculateCharacterEncoding(FacesContext) in ViewHandler appears to parse the raw header, as opposed to using the CharacterEncoding getter on ServletRequest. This is understandable, as this code should be able to handle PortletRequests as well as ServletRequests. And PortletRequests don't have set/getCharacterEncoding methods.
    My first thought is that calling setCharacterEncoding on the request in the filter may not update the raw Content-Type header. (I haven't checked if this is the case) If it doesn't, then the raw header may be getting reparsed and the request encoding getting reset in the ViewHandler. I'd suggest that you check the state of the Content-Type header before and after your call to req.setCharacterEncoding('UTF-8"). If the header charset value is unset or unchanged after this call, you may want to update it manually in your Filter.
    If that doesn't work, I'd suggest writing a simple ViewHandler which prints out the request's character encoding and the value of the Content-Type header to your logs before and after the calls to the underlying ViewHandler for each major method (i.e. renderView, etc.)
    Not sure if that's helpful, but it's my best advice based on the understanding I've reached to date. And I definitely agree - documentation on this point appears to be lacking. Good luck
    Regards,
    Peter

  • What is JSF and where use it

    what different from JSTL
    thanks...

    At this level a visit to JSF-Tutorials (http://www.jsftutorials.net/) might the best thing to do. Or dig into a book.
    Basically it has a different scope than JSTL.
    JSF is a presentation layer framework. Other names in that area are:
    Struts, Spring MVC, Tapestry, and many more
    JSTL is a collection of JSP-tags and therefor covers only a VERY small part of the presentation layer. And it is very far away from a framework
