Myfaces 1.2 doesn't start without web.xml
-----------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-1694
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1694
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JSR-252
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Achim Hügen
Priority: Minor
Myfaces 1.2 fails with one of these messages if no web.xml can be found or no
mapping for the FacesServlet is defined:
"Couldn't find web.xml. Abort initializing MyFaces."
"No mappings of FacesServlet found. Abort initializing MyFaces."
That's a quite strict interpretation of the spec which says
'Implementations may check for the presence of a servlet-class definition of
class
javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet in the web application deployment descriptor
as a means to abort the configuration process and reduce startup time for
applications that do
not use JavaServer Faces Technology.'
It would be helpful for unit tests if the web.xml and a servlet-mapping is not
mandatory (maybe configurable?).
In my unit tests I start an embedded jetty server whose configuration is build
programmatically:
Server jettyServer = new Server();
Context webappContext = new Context(jettyServer, contextPath, Context.SESSIONS);
webappContext.addEventListener(new StartupServletContextListener());
ServletHolder facesServletHolder = new ServletHolder(new FacesServlet());
webappContext.addServlet(facesServletHolder, "*.faces");
webappContext.getServer().start();
That code is working fine with Myfaces 1.1 but broken with 1.2.
