Need urgently.
Thanking in advance.

Hello,
i'm trying to use MyFaces+Tiles.
I done this steps:
1) put struts.jar in WEB-INF/lib
2) add follow lines in web.xml
<context-param>
        <param-name>tiles-definitions</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
     <param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
     <param-value>.tiles</param-value>
</context-param>

     <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>3) add follow in application tag of faces-config.xml
<view-handler>org.apache.myfaces.tomahawk.application.jsp.JspTilesViewHandlerImpl</view-handler>4) make file tiles-defs.xml and put it in WEB-INF dir, some its lines are
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
       "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration//EN"
       "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd">

Try to use <h:panelGrid> instead of the <table> tag.

JSF, tiles, xml and xsl

Good days people, I am employed at an app that wants to integrate JSF, tiles, xml and xsl.
Basically the app receives information of the user's interfaz, builds an url with the above mentioned information and invokes to a service web that a xml returns with the information. The idea is to generate the exit in format html or wml with an insole(staff) xsl and to send the result in this format to every jsp that is going to form a part of the page that it will generate tiles. at first I understand that it is feasible, i�d like to know if someone already has done it and since it has done it.
Just now what I have is a managed bean that receives the parameters of the altar frontal and invokes a method of a service, like this:
public String encuentra(){
//deja los atributos privados rellenos.
String mensaje ;
crearYRellenarBusquedaVO();
try {
setResultado(this.getServicio().obtenerResultadosWML(this.getBusquedaVO()));
mensaje="succesNoJS";
}catch(java.lang.IllegalArgumentException e){
mensaje="error";
}catch(es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException e1){
mensaje="error";
}catch(Exception e2){
mensaje="error";
return mensaje;
public String obtenerResultadosWML(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO){
if (busquedaVO == null){
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"obtenerResultadosJSdesactivado(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO) - 'busquedaVO' no puede ser nulo.");
try{
return this.manejarObtenerResultadosWML(busquedaVO);
}catch(es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException e1){
throw new es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException(
"Error ejecutando el servicio String obtenerResultadosJSdesactivado(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO). " + e1.getCause(),e1);
}catch(Exception e){
throw new es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException(
"Error ejecutando el servicio String obtenerResultadosJSdesactivado(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO). " + e.getCause(),e);
//it returns html code!
protected String manejarObtenerResultadosWML(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO)
throws java.lang.Exception{
try{
// xmlOrigen has full xml response from server
String xmlOrigen = manejarObtenerResultadosJSActivado(busquedaVO);
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new StringBufferInputStream(xmlOrigen));
Source xsltSource = new StreamSource(SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceImpl.class.getResourceAsStream(Constantes.XSL_FILE));
StringWriter cadenaSalida = new StringWriter();
Result bufferResultado = new StreamResult(cadenaSalida);
TransformerFactory factoriaTrans = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformador = factoriaTrans.newTransformer(xsltSource);
transformador.transform(xmlSource, bufferResultado);
System.out.println(cadenaSalida.toString());
return cadenaSalida.toString();
}catch(Exception e2){
throw new es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException (e2.getMessage());
With this exit in html, since(as,like) how could i forward it towards a jsp especially?

If you could pass me a simple example of use of an app that uses JSF, tiles, xml and xsl, i�be grateful

We too (at Viking Freight) would also be very interested to see if anybody
has produced such a useful series of classes...

Subject: (forte-users) XML and XSL in Forte
Has anybody integrated an XSL parser with Forte. I know Forte provides us
with an XML parser but that does not help with parsing XSL. There a lot of
parsers written in JAVA but that will not integrate well with Forte. We
need something that will be easy to integrate with Forte. This parser will
take our XML and XSL to give us a result set. If anybody can comment on the
subject or share some information I would appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

JSF Tiles Stylesheet solution

This is just a post for other newbies (like me !) out there who might have struggled with integrating JSF & Tiles. It turns out my problem was not integration related at all & nor was it related to JSF (probably) or Tiles. I just did not know how to load a stylesheet correctly. The way I did it the first time was:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./config/styles.css" type="text/css"/>
</head>
This worked fine the first time the page was displayed. Now if there was a validation error JSF would re-display the same page with all styles missing. The page would have the correct Tiles layout nonetheless.
After much searching up all the wrong alleys (such as integration between the two etc.), I finally arrived at the correct way to load the .css file:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/config/styles.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
Now the path is derived from the contextPath of the application each time and the pages do not lose their styles.
...just in case someone else hits this and ends up looking here.
Ciao, Bhishma

Thanks Bhishma your solution was very usefull, I wish to know if you have some blog or something where I could write to you, for to be in touch and share experiences from our countries, sorry for my bad english

IceFaces + Tiles Integration

Hi,
I had tried to integrate tiles (struts libraries) with icefaces libraries in Jdeveloper 10.3.1.0 but in runtime I obtain the error : "SEVERE: Digester.getParser:". I had readed about incompatibility libraries struts a xerce in this jdeveloper version, does it's true?
Too, I had tried with Jdeveloper 11g, but in this cases the error is : "Falta la clase: org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResourcesFactory", which is in struts.jar that is in the claspath.
Does anybody obtained this integration in Jdev with success?
Thanks.

Anjeludo,
Here's a link about using tiles with JSF: http://www.jsftutorials.net/tiles/jsf-tiles.html
And another one about IceFaces in JDeveloper: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1508
Hope this helps.

The TestBean have a property for DeviceManager along with setter/getter methods as shown below. Sorry for not including in earlier posting
TestBean.java (Backing Bean)
private DeviceTypeManager deviceManager;
public DeviceTypeManager getDeviceManager() {
return deviceManager;
public void setDeviceManager(DeviceTypeManager deviceManager) {
this.deviceManager = deviceManager;
Here are the two scenarios
Scenario 1 : without <managed-property> the code works fine
Scenario 2 : with <managed-property> the code results in following error
javax.faces.FacesException: Cannot get value for expression '#{test.selectedDevice}'
Scenario 1 has only JSF whereas Scenario 2 has JSF-Spring integration
The Scenario 1 works absolutely fine as the expression '#{test.selectedDevice}' gets its value from setter/getter method in the backing bean(TestBean.java) . This is expected behaviour & wondering why it doesn't work similarly in Scenario 2 instead it complains
Cannot get value for expression '#{test.selectedDevice}'
I am willing to upload the war file. Any pointers/suggestions in resolving the error will be highly appreciated

JSF/Spring integration - managed-property problem

I am using JSF 1.1_01 (MyFaces 1.1), Spring 1.2, Ajax4Jsf.
The JSF application has h:selectOneMenu .
On change event of h:selectOneMenu sets "selectedValue" into backing bean as shown below:
page.jsp
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{test.selectedDevice}" >
<f:selectItem itemValue="0" itemLabel="--New--"/>
<f:selectItem itemValue="1" itemLabel="WorkStation"/>
<f:selectItem itemValue="2" itemLabel="Router"/>
<f:selectItem itemValue="3" itemLabel="Switch"/>
<ajax:support action="#{test.loadDevice}" event="onchange" reRender="t2,t3,t4,t5"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
TestBean.java (Backing Bean)
public String getSelectedDevice() {
logger.info(" *** In getSelectedDevice *** ");
if (selectedDevice == null) {
selectedDevice = "0"; // This will be the default selected item.
return selectedDevice;
public void setSelectedDevice(String selectedDevice) {
logger.info(" *** In setSelectedDevice *** ");
this.selectedDevice = selectedDevice;

web.xml

<managed-property>
<property-name>deviceManager</property-name>
<property-class> test.DeviceTypeManager </property-class>
<value>#{deviceManager}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
The above code results in the following error
javax.faces.FacesException: Cannot get value for expression '#{test.selectedDevice}'
The error occurs only if i include <managed-property> inside the <managed-bean> in faces-config.xml.
The moment i remove <managed-property> from face-config.xml the error disappears & page gets rendered properly.
The purpose in having <managed-property> inside managed-bean is to call Spring's Manager class (i.e. deviceManager) from JSF application
Any pointers/suggestions in resolving the error will be highly appreciated

JSF + Tiles : Assertion Failed

Hi,
I'm running JDev 10.1.3 Developer Preview . I have jsf+tiles application.
Here is run the time error messages:
[ServletException in:/appHeader.jsp] Assertion Failed'
{ServletException in:/appContent.jsp] Assertion Failed'
[ServletException in:/appMenu.jsp] Assertion Failed'

Do the JSF tile pages have a <f:view> </f:view> JSF component?
Does the wrapper JSF also include an f:view?
Replace f:view with h:panelGrid in the tiles.

Unable to display Popup page while using JSF Tiles

Hi All,
I am using JSF Tiles. In the body page i am trying to open a pop up page through java script. bt i got the 500 internal server error. The popup open properly when there is no html or core jsf tags. can anyone help me abt this problem.
Thanks.

For future JSP/Servlet related questions please use the JSP/JSTL forum or the Servlet forum. There are more experts.
As to your problem: did you read a basic JSP/Servlet book/tutorial? Did you read the [Tomcat documentation|http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/index.html]? Your problem more sounds like you missed something trivial.

JSF/Tiles/Spring Integration Problem

Hi,
I have a JSF based web application, which uses Struts Tiles framework through the view-handler "org.apache.myfaces.tomahawk.application.jsp.JspTi lesViewHandlerImpl". Now I am trying to integrate this with the Spring framework by making use of the variable-resolver "org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableRes olver".

I could get the application work with JSF and Spring, without Tiles.
Appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks

I'm assuming that since you are using JSF and Tiles, you are not using Spring's web framework. In that case, the integration of Spring with JSF is relatively trivial and you can neglect it for now. You might want to try the link below, if you are feeling lucky:

JSF 1.2 and Tiles integration

I have a web application using JSF 1.1 and Tiles that I am trying to upgrade to run using JSF 1.2.
It is working as far as working out that it should use the tile, but then it all seems to fall over when trying to render.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use Tiles with JSF 1.2?

Hi,
I took the Shales TileViewHandler and replaced the renderView method with the one below. This is a copy of the method from the Sun RI except that it passes the tile (ComponentDefinition) along to the subsequent methods.
Then when it gets down to executePageToBuildView the requestURI is obtained from the tile (tile.getPath()) rather than from the UIViewRoot (viewToExecute.getViewId()).
   public void renderView(FacesContext facesContext, UIViewRoot viewToRender)
                                        throws IOException, FacesException {
      String viewId = viewToRender.getViewId();
      String tileName = getTileName(viewId);
      ComponentDefinition tile = getTile(tileName);
      if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
         String message = null;
         try {
             message = bundle.getString("tiles.renderingView");
         } catch (MissingResourceException e) {
             message = "Rendering view {0}, looking for tile {1}";
         synchronized(format) {
            format.applyPattern(message);
            message = format.format(new Object[] { viewId, tileName });
         log.debug(message);
      if (tile != null) {
         if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
            String message = null;
            try {
                message = bundle.getString("tiles.dispatchingToTile");
            } catch (MissingResourceException e) {
                message = "Dispatching to tile {0}";
            synchronized(format) {
               format.applyPattern(message);
               message = format.format(new Object[] { tileName });
            log.debug(message);

   }You will also find you need to copy a few other methods from the Sun RI.
There were a couple of calls to ApplicationAssociate.responseRendered() which I just commented out as well (because they are not visible). They stop people changing the StateManager or ViewHandler after responses have been rendered. Probably not a problem since I will have replaced the ViewHandler anyway.
