Re: [newbie] Forward to launch page (w/Tiles) [SOLVED]

[Robert Taylor]

First, thanks again for the patience of the group on this matter and for 
those who helped; Rick, Wendy, and Volker.


I definitely had a "Struts" mindset when it came to the request 
processing life cycle. Once I read through the spec. and understood the 
request processing life cycle a little better, things became more clear 
as to the behavior I was seeing.



Here's what I ended up doing:

- Used path mapping in web.xml and mapped the JSF servlet to /app/*

- Defined index.jsp as a welcome page for my app.

- Used a   in index.jsp.
  (Note I do not have a page launch.jsp under my web app root context).

This is kind of tricky here. Since I'm using JspTilesViewHandlerImpl, it 
processes the request like so:


- Determines that I'm using path mapping and not extension mapping
- Looks for the default suffix (.jsp)
- Replaces the default suffix with the default Tiles suffix (.tiles).
- Looks up the Tiles definition corresponding to /launch.tiles
- Dispatches to /lauch.tiles

From there, Tiles does the rest as far as rendering the view. It ended 
up pulling my /pages/launch.jsp into a template as defined by the tile.



As a couple of you already mentioned, the navigation rules did not even 
come into play. This is because, it was a non-faces request; meaning the

request did not originate as a result of a JSF request.

I also learned that the extension which the JspTilesViewHandlerImpl 
looks for to determine if it should be processed by Tiles, is 
configurable. You can define something other than the default by placing 
it in the web.xml init context param under the attribute, 
javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX.  For example:



  javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX
  .myTilesSuffix



Anyhow, I think I'm good to go for now. I'll press on with more 
adventures in JSF :)

Robert, I haven't figured out Tiles yet with JSF. I got frustrated
trying too many things at once, so I backed out my Tiles stuff and just
tried to get a simple app working first. My next step is to learn

/pages/launch.jsp






What happens if you use:
   ?

I don't think the navigation rules are coming into play at all, this is just 
"strip off the .faces extension and look for a .jsp with the same name."



The requested resource (/launch.jsp) is not available.
Notices there is no mention of "/pages" directory in the error message.


... and that makes sense to me, because you told it to forward to 
/launch.faces, so it's looking for /launch.jsp.

Re: [newbie] Forward to launch page

[Robert Taylor]

Hey Rick! It's nice to see a familiar name. Nice JSF example on your 
site. I'm using it to see where the heck I'm screwing up.


Here's my directory  set up:

/index.jsp
/css
/images
/javascript
/pages/launch.jsp
/WEB-INF

Here's a snippet from my web.xml
-

  
  Faces Servlet
  *.faces
  




Here's a snippet from my faces-context.xml file.
This is really the only thing I have in it besides the doctype.
--


   
  /pages/launch.jsp
   




Here's my index.jsp file:
--





This set up produces a 404 error:
---
HTTP Status 404 - /launch.jsp
type Status report
message /launch.jsp
description The requested resource (/launch.jsp) is not available.

Notices there is no mention of "/pages" directory in the error message.

Now, if I copy or move the /pages/lauch.jsp to /launch.jsp AND make no 
other changes, redeploy. The page is found and is rendered. As long as 
launch.jsp resides directly under the webapp root context, I can even 
change /pages/launch.jsp to
/launch.jsp and it is found. It's as if the 
"/pages" part of the view-id is being stripped out.



I'm going to have a look at the source in 
org.apache.myfaces.application.jsp.JspTilesViewHandlerImpl

to see if I can tell what's happening.

Any ideas? Have you seen any examples where the pages reside in a 
subdirectory instead of directly under the web app root context?

Re: [newbie] Forward to launch page

[Robert Taylor]

Thanks. But I've tried redirect already. Still the same problem.
I also prefer to use path mapping as opposed to prefix mapping.
I'm still baffled why this simple test won't work. I'll keep banging at 
it. The problem has to be something simple.

[newbie] Forward to launch page

Greetings, I'm a current Struts user interested in learning and using 
MyFaces and JSF.


My dev. env. consists of Tomcat 5.5.9, MyFaces 1.0.9, JDK 1.4.2, Win2K.

I've configured MyFaces to use Tiles for view-handler.

What I want to do is to have my welcome page (index.jsp), forward to a 
launch page for the application.


In Struts, I would simply use a .
In my struts-config.xml file I has an action mapping for path="/launch" forward="launch.tile"/> which forwarded to a tiles 
configuration which builds the page.


I'm trying to do something similar with JSF, but have been unsuccessful.
I removed the "tiles" complexity just to see if it would display a 
non-tiles .jsp. My wecome page consists of a single line:
