Hi, Sun have recently released an update to their JSF implementation to allow it to work within the Sun JSR-168 Portal server. I have taken the implementation and modified the config files to allow it to work within the JBoss portal. I have also created a simple test JSF application to show the basic features of JSF in action for developers new to it. Both the code and JSPs are heavily commented to help you understand what is going on.
The JSF impl has a Portal class called com.sun.faces.portlet.FacesPortlet which is specified in the portlet.xml instead of your usual specific portal class. You then simply add a special init param to that portlet definition XML which specifies the start page of your JSF app: | <init-param> | <description>Portlet init page</description> | <name>com.sun.faces.portlet.INIT_VIEW</name> | <value>/login.jsp</value> | </init-param> | then code up your JSF app as usual! Obviously the standard portlet rules apply in that your JSF JSP pages must adhere to standard portlet guidelines e.g. no HTML/HEAD tags etc. See the example for more info. I have created a JBoss portlet page for this example - so it's also a good example of how to create the config files for a simple portlet and give it a separate page in JBoss portal. http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/jsf-test.zip You launch the test app using something like the following URL: http://localhost:8080/portal?page=jsftest NOTE: I created this against the first JBoss Portal Alpha release - applogies if any config files etc. have changed since then, but i'm sure you can get it to work ;) Hope this is useful to people, Cheers, Kev View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3869162#3869162 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3869162 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
