New to JSF

i am new to JSF. can any body tell the flow structure in typical JSF application and tell me the differences between JSF and struts?

Hello Friend,
I am also new to JSF>
But somethings which might help you are:
JSF follows MVC (Model View Controller) framework
Model : Its the bean where we declare our classes
View : Its the JSF form which we display to user
Controller : Bean which connects Model and View
These are some links which you can use :

New 2 JSF, Help me in configuring it

Hi,
The EA4 Version of JSF is bundled in version 1.2 of the Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP):
http://java.sun.com/webservices/webservicespack.html
If you want to separate the libs from the pack you will need following libs after you have installed Java Web Services Developer Pack:
C:\jwsdp-1.2\jsf\lib
(=essential jsf jar files)
and probably
C:\jwsdp-1.2\common\lib
(=additional jar files needed)

Setting a new EJB + JSF development environment

Dear friends,
nowadays me and some friends are dealing with the task of define the a Java development environment for a big enterprise...
After some discussion and also evaluating the available machinery (a Z/os mainframe, a DB2 database and some oter minor servers...) - we decided to use EJB + JSF/Servlets.
The JSF 4.0/Servlets support web requests while the Mainframe bundle the business components (EJB 2.1).
Is that correct?
have you some advices about our first decisions ?
the development tools will be also discussed but we are pending to Eclipse WTP and JBoss for local tests.. and also MAVEN and ANT to integrate all this bunch of technologies....
do you have some tip about plugins or frameworks that could help us to design a confortable and productive office ?
best regards,
Felipe Ga�cho

Hi Louis,
Thanks for the swift reply and for the insight into how Jdeveloper initialisation operates. I have since added the "ojaudit -profilehelp" to the setup scripts so that the system folder is correctly initialised. However, it is still not helping with my problem :(
The preferences.xml file is not getting created as part of the call. It creates quite a few other files, but not preferences.xml
$ ojaudit -profilehelp
Oracle JDeveloper Audit 11.1.1.4.0 (5923)
Copyright (c) 2003, 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

$ pwd

$ cd o.jdeveloper
$ ls

Brief.kdf DefaultWorkspace Emacs.kdf audit
Classic.kdf Default_macosx.kdf VisualCPP.kdf ide.properties
$
I tried copying in a pre-created file, but i still see the same exception as before.
At the moment, i am doing pretty much what the other team are doing in the make file :
export JDEV_USER_DIR ; $(T_WORK)/jdevshiphome/jdeveloper/jdev/bin/ojaudit -profilehelp
$(CP) $(NDE_PRODUCT_ROOT)/setup/preferences.xml $$PREF_FILE
$(CHMOD) +w $$PREF_FILE;\
Do you know how they generated the preferences.xml that they pick up from the setup directory? Maybe this is where im going wrong.
The steps I follow to generate mine are:
- Install Jdeveloper
- Open jdeveloper, and use my audit profile as default.
- close jdeveloper.
- Copy the generated preferences.xml into my setup scripts.
Then as part of the installation process
- Install jdeveloper (using a script).
- Run ojaudit -profilehelp.
- copy the preferences.xml file into the o.jdeveloper directory.
- Start Jdeveloper.
Do I need to make some changes to this preferences.xml to somehow make it more generic before it can be reused.
Thanks,

Not able to drag new data control to my jsf

hi am not able to drag Queriable Attributes into the new query.jsf page and abl to Create it as a Query > ADF Query Panel.
this is what i have done
1.In the Application Navigator locate the adfc-config file under the Page Flows node in the ViewController project. Double-click it to open it in the editor. This is where you are going to define the application's navigation.
2.Drag the DeptEmpPage.jsf file from the Application Navigator into the empty adfc-config diagram.
3.From the Component Palette drag and drop a View component into the adf-config diagram, and rename it query. This represents the new JSF page that you are about to create.
4.From the Component Palette select Control Flow Case and then click on the DeptEmpPage and drag a line to the query page.
Name this line goQuery.
5.From the Component Palette choose another Control Flow Case and then create an opposite flow from the query page to the DeptEmpPage. Name this flow back.
6.Double-click the query view in the diagram to create the new page. In the Create JSF Page dialog accept the default Facelets radio button, and with the Quick Start Layout radio button selected, click Browse.
7.In the Component Gallery, retain the default One Column category, type and layout, but check the Apply Themes checkbox in the Options pane.
Click OK and OK again to create the page.
8.To add the employees search functionality to the page, open the Data Controls accordion, and locate EmpDetails1. (If you do not see it click the Refresh button).
am not able to Select All Queriable Attributes and drag it into the new query.jsf page. Create it as a Query > ADF Query Panel.

A Filter is perfectly suitable for that. Look around at this forum or Google for "LoginFilter", it will give suitable examples.

Please help me in configuring JSF 1.2.

If you are new to JSF, then I'd try and simplify the environment in which you are working as the first step to achieving a successful outcome.
JSF 1.2 is a certified and well tested component of WLS, so we know it works. I'm not sure of the effect of all those additional modules you are adding in there -- it appears as if you have gotten a Faces implementation instantiated, but there could be some form of version difference/conflict since it can't find a method its looking for.
Using Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oepe/oepe_11115.html) you can build yourself out a pretty simple JSF application to get started from and deploy it to a WLS server. This would remove all the additional libraries you currently have, provide you with a bundled applicaton to deploy and give you a pretty good environment from which you can learn and experiment with JSF.

JSF sample application in WLP 10.3.2

Hi All,
I am new to JSF and trying to build a sample application in WLP 10.3.2.
I created a jsp with simple form and submit. Created a JSF portlet with that JSP. When I try to deploy and run the portlet, I get this error on the console.

How to click on h:datatable and open a new page

Hi,
I'm new to JSF. I have a basic example with JSF h:datatable which displays data. When I click on the table row new page is opened and an argument s passed via the http header:
Datatable:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

                //gets all the generated rows in the html table
                var trs = document.getElementById('myForm:dataTable').getElementsByTagName('tbody')[0]
                .getElementsByTagName('tr');
                //on every row, add onclick function (this is what you're looking for)
                for (var i = 0; trs.length > i; i++) {
                    trs.onclick = new Function("rowOnclick(this)");
function rowOnclick(tr) {
// var childNodes = tr.childNodes;
// for(var i = 0; childNodes.length > i; i++) {
var elements = tr.cells[0].childNodes;
for(var i = 0; elements.length > i; i++) {
if ((typeof elements[i].id !== "undefined") &&
(elements[i].id.indexOf("lnkHidden") > -1)) {
//opne in a new window// window.open(elements[i].href);
location.href=elements[i].href
break;
return false;

catch (Exception e) {
this.id = 0;
* @return the id
public int getId() {
return id;
* @param id the id to set
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
My question is how I can pass the argument into the background, without using the http header? Can you help me to implement this example?
Best Wishes

And why all the futzing around in Javascript? Why not just use <a> or <h:outputLink> in the normal way? What value are you trying to add here?
I'm new to JSF.OP answered that already. I guess the OP really wants to turn a table row into something clickable, a link won't suffice then. Basic JSF tags don't support tagging event handlers to individual rows/columns as far as I know.
@OP: you should really check out extension frameworks like Primefaces which have more advanced datatable implementations. Check out this for example:
http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/datatableRowSelectionInstant.jsf
There is also Richfaces, Icefaces, Tomahawk. Probably using any of these extension frameworks you hardly ever have to write manual javascript.

Creating new JSF2 pages from a running Servlet (3.0) or JSF2 page?

I'm new to JEE6 web apps with JSF 2.x frontends (GlassFish 3), and I still wasn't able to find a solution for this dynamic JSF 2.x problem:
*From inside a running JSF 2.x web app (Servlet 3.0), which possibilities (if any) do I have to dynamically add generated JSF pages (whole new .xhtml files) to specific folders of the (exploded) document root, so that these pages can be dispatched to the client like any traditional, statically-deployed one?*
Background: An app for "promoting" authors/editors (content providers) which has these few main requirements:
<ol>
<li>New providers will register under <tt>www.acme.com/app/register.xhtml</tt>.</li>
<li>The system will grant each provider "sub-domain" associated with web space under
<tt>www.acme.com/app/<b>providerX</b></tt> where providerX is an arbitrary sub-domain name chosen by the provider during the registration.</li>
<li>Each provider will initially have some pre-defined pages in their document context root, e.g.
<tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/index.xhtml</tt>, <tt>about-me.xhtml</tt>, <tt>contact.xhtml</tt>, etc.</li>
<li>Each provider will have an administration console for managing 2 tasks:
<ul>
<li type="a"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/admin/page-manager.xhtml</tt> </li>
<li type="a"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/admin/customer-manager.xhtml</tt></li>
</ul>
to specify new pages with offers, publish these pages in their document context root, e.g. <tt>www.acme.com/app/<b>providerX</b>/<b>my-services</b>.xhtml</tt> (customized page name), and
to manage their readers/customers, respectively.
</li>
<li>Thus, each providerX will also have a pre-deployed customer registration page running, which creates standard customer accounts. E.g.:
<ul>
<li type="disc"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/customers/registration.xhtml</tt></li>
<li type="disc"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/customers/login.xhtml</tt></li>
<li type="disc"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/customers/customer-account-dashboard.xhtml</tt></li>
</ul>
</li></ol>
Please note: I know that for such kind of systems a CMS would be more suitable, but is such a system -- here aiming at only basic functionality -- also realizable in pure JEE 6 technologies, i.e. w/o CMS???
<b>The unclear main aspect is stated in my initial question above. Basically, I hope to get these clarifications:</b>
<ol>
<li><b>Which app architecture designs can I use to deploy new generated JSF pages or servlets from within a running JSF page or servlet???</b></li>
<li><b>Supposing that all relevant page description data provided by a provider is stored in a db:
Where can I "cache" the new .xhtml pages generated from these data on-the-fly when (a) an exploded WAR, and (b) a packaged WAR is running???</b>
The pages shall be "hooked" to the scope (doc root) of the respective provider and dispatches by the <tt>FacesServlet</tt> as such.</li>
</ol>
Due to the crucial importance in a current project, I'd really appreciate any constructive help very much.

Having a "page-manager.xhtml" JSF2 UI at "/page-manager" context that lets registered member X define a website (=a set of .jsf/.xhtml pages) in a new context "/websiteX" (where "websiteX" is freely chosen and associated with dedicated webspace to store the pages in the filesystem):
How to store these dynamically created website pages from within the PageManagerServlet?
<ol><li type="a">Could I create a new exploded WAR structure in the filesystem (or elsewhere) when a new context is defined, and then store new .jsf/.xhtml files therein when a new page is defined, all this with usual file operations? -- Would this be enough, or...</li>
<li type="a">...after storing a new page, would I need to explicitly tell the container to deploy the page (or re-deploy the WAR(?)) so that I can instantly test/run the page when it is new/modified, or will it be compiled automatically when pointing a browser to it???
I guess both is possible, but for performance reasons, a pre-compile would be better. How can I achieve this?</li>
</ol>
Thank you a million for your help, Natalia.I only see mention of xhtml files - that is the easy part. But XHTML files don't actually do anything at all. What about classes like JSF managed beans? jar libraries? database connections and ORM/JPA support which also adds the complexity of having to deal with all the configuration descriptor files? Even if you can automatically deploy all that, replacing existing classes and reloading them is a whole different matter.
My "expert" opinion: this cannot be done with JSF. In fact the only Java web framework which I can think of that has any chance of making something like this possible is Play framework. I'd really take the road that EJP took: make the content dynamic, not the webapp.

JSF Samples (jsf-guessNumber.war)is NOT Working in Tomcat

Hello
I have worked in struts a bit, but, I'm new to JSF world. I was trying to run small program in JSF, but, I am getting the error by all the way.
I have downloaded the JSF from Sun web site, the version says, jsf1.1 Final. I have found, "jsf-guessNumber.war" file in the sample folder in the downloaded zip file. I have already working Tomcat 5.5 in my laptop, I have deployed jsf-guessNumber.war application in my Tomcat and deployed successfully. But, when try to access the application through http://localhost:8080/jsf-guessNumber/ , the below exception appears. I have changed nothing in the war file. I have tried to deploy all other war sample files in my tomcat, but, nothing is working :-(.
Can anyone please help me to find out what's wrong with this ?. Many Thanks in advance!.
The exception details are below

JSF-Data Table displaying all data in a single row

Hi Guys,
Im new to JSF, im trying to display the details from a List in a data table, but all the details are getting displayed in a single cell instead of displaying as rows, can someone help me with this problem?

You need post your code so that we can view it.
This is an example of dataTable
<h:dataTable border="1" id="qresults" cellpadding="4" styleClass="subjectQRTbl" cellspacing="4" value="#{wormingList.worming}" var="bbr" first="#{wormingList.firstRowIndex}" rows="#{wormingList.noOfRows}" rowClasses="evenRow,oddRow">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText escape="false" value="Vaccination Date" />
</f:facet>
<h:commandLink id="locnum" action="#{appAction.getWormingRecord}" title="Update Worming History Record">
<h:outputText value="#{bbr.dateWormed}">
<f:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy"/>
</h:outputText>
<f:param name = "recordId" value ="#{bbr.id}" />
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header" >
<h:outputText escape="false" value="Vaccination Type" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{bbr.type}" styleClass="readOnly" />
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header" >
<h:outputText value="Vaccination Dosage" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{bbr.dosage}"styleClass="readOnly"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
Hope this helps

How to get another jsp by clicking a h:commandLink in jsf page

Hi,
I am new to JSF. pls send sample code me how to get another jsp by clicking a commandLink in jsf.
SUB: TO go to the page "report7.jsp"
-->By getting help from samples i wrote for above in 2 ways.
1)
<td><h:commandLink id="RO0007" action="r7" >Sharing of Information from Foreign FIU</h:commandLink></td>
and in <reports-config>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>r7</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>report7.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
2) Sending request through bean method
<td><h:commandLink id="RO0007" action="#{RBean.report7()}" >Sharing of Information from Foreign FIU</h:commandLink></td>
in RBean the method form is
public String report7(){
return "r7";
and in <reports-config>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>r7</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>report7.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
Some problem in both i think as it is not going to next page. i need to go to th next page by calling Bean Method.
please get me out of this problem. It is very urgent. Thank you.
**************************************************************

What error is it throwing? If it is throwing a Page not found, then maybe you should try mapping to "report7.faces" instead of "report7.jsp"
Can you post your faces-config please
