hello,
i’m trying to customize appearance of my JSF/ADF Faces app (which worked fine until now), and tried to insert a adf-faces-config.xml file in my WEB-INF directory, this is it (copied from a tutorial) :

<?xml version=”1.0″?>

<adf-faces-config xmlns=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config”&gt;
<!– Enable debug output –>
<debug-output>true</debug-output>

<!– Pick accessibility options based on a per-user managed bean –>
<accessibility-mode>#{user.accessibilityMode}</accessibility-mode>

<!– A silly use of EL: English users get one appearance, –>
<!– others get another –>
<skin-family>
#{view.locale.language==’en’ ? ‘minimal’ : ‘oracle’}
</skin-family>
</adf-faces-config>

after saving the file (in myEclipse) i get the following error message on the second line :

cvc-elt.1 : Cannot find the declaration of element ‘adf-faces-config’
what does that mean and what should i do ?
thx…

You need a full root or doctype declaration that specifies the schema or DTD to validate this XML file against. They have a certain format to them that looks sort of weird, to get an example open your web.xml file. You will need to find the adf-faces schema (or DTD) then likely add a schemaLocaiton line that will normally look something like:
schemaLocation=”<ROOT URL TO SCHEMA> <FULL URL TO SCHEMA>”

so assuming the namespace you gave above is actually it, it may look something *like* this:
<adf-faces-config xmlns=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config&#8221; schemaLocation=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config/adf-faces-1_0.xsd&#8221;

thx for your explanation.
i have tried to do what you said and this is what i have now :

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<!DOCTYPE adf-faces-config PUBLIC “-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web
Application 2.3//EN” “http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd”&gt;

<adf-faces-config xmlns=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config&#8221;
schemaLocation=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config
http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config/adf-faces-1_0.xsd”&gt;

<debug-output>true</debug-output>
<!–client-validation-disabled>true</client-validation-disabled–>

<accessibility-mode>#{prefs.proxy.accessibilityMode}</accessibility-mode>

<!– you can use EL to get the skin. This allows the skin to change
between
requests. –>
<skin-family>#{prefs.proxy.skinFamily}</skin-family>
<!–skin-family>oracle</skin-family–>

<!– Uncomment any of these to enable them –>
<!– accessibility-mode>inaccessible</accessibility-mode –>

<!– A silly use of EL: English users get Simple Skin, others get
Oracle Skin –>
<!– skin-family>#{facesContext.viewRoot.locale.language==’en’ ?
‘simple’ : ‘oracle’}</skin-family –>

</adf-faces-config>

the error message has changed, now i have the same error for every element : “element ‘adf-faces-config’ must be declared”, same for ‘debug-output’, ‘accessibility-mode’ and ‘skin-family’….?????

for your info in my web-xml i have :
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<!– <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC “-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web
Application 2.3//EN” “http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd”&gt; –>

<web-app xmlns=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee&#8221;
xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&#8221;
version=”2.4″
xsi:schemaLocation=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd”&gt;

but if i uncomment the “doctype” line, the workspace can’t be built and i get the error message :
“attribute ‘xsi:schemaLocation’ must be declared for element type ‘web-app’ ” ???!!!!

dom,
Sorry I didn’t follow up, I think I see the error, I just don’t know what the answer is. You are combining two web-app specifications in this file and that won’t work… I think you just need one, either in the root of the file or at the top of the file.

Please trying asking on the adf-faces mailing list for a empty correct config file with full schema specified from the folks and see if they can give you one.
