I am a jsf newbie using jboss-4.0.3 and my eclipse 4.0.1
I follow the each step in jsf tutorial and deploy the project, can’t get it work, I searched all the forum here, still can’t find the
reason.

deploy response

1. I did initialized the facesservlet in web.xml, map *.faces to faces servlet.
2. I did use useLogin.faces to access
3. I added the h:form tag in userLogin.jsp
4. my web.xml and faces-config.xml are exactly the same as the demo project I downloaded from the website.
I know it might be config problem but I followed each step in the tutorial and google the error online, really can’t figure it out, need help. thanks

[Riyad Kalla]

If you download and install Tomcat locally and then depkloy to it instead of JBoss, does the app work?

HINT: Download the Tomcat zip, and unzip it, then go set it up in MYEclipse, that’s all you need to do to “install it”

[xpcoming]

I have the same problem. Need somebody’s help!

[Riyad Kalla]

xpcoming,
There is no way we could start to help you without any information about your setup, web.xml file, faces-config.xml file, the EXACT error you get, app server, etc. etc.

I am also getting the same problem with Tomcat 5.5 running within Eclipse. Hope the following is enough info.

[Riyad Kalla]

datapulse,
1) That was a very obnoxious post, to simply dump every single line of configuration you could find polutes a thread for no good reason and makes it hard for us to distill it all and for others to follow. We outline the questions we wanted answered in our posting guidelines, and if you miss that we also provide the MyEclipse > About > Configuration Summary functionatliy. I am not asking you to repost this info, but pointing that out if you need to post your information in the future.
2) What URL are you using in your browser to access your page, make sure you are not trying to access the .jsp file directly (http://localhost/myapp/login.jsp) that will cause this exception, you need to use the extension you mapped: http://localhost/myapp/login.faces

[datapulse]

Yes, it probably was an obnoxious post. It was in direct response to the terse and impolite response you gave to xpcoming. Looking back I gave the information you asked xpcoming for, even though the answer is apparently a one liner and did not need it.

The end result is that I got an answer, while xpcoming and jetzzz are still waiting.

regards,

[Riyad Kalla]

The end result is that I got an answer, while xpcoming and jetzzz are still waiting.

If you re-read the thread, both of their posts were followed up to and they never replied.

It was in direct response to the terse and impolite response you gave to xpcoming.

It could have been more welcoming, I agree.

Looking back I gave the information you asked xpcoming for, even though the answer is apparently a one liner and did not need it.

In this particular case no we didn’t need more info, but had you replied “I already tried that”, I figured I’d get the rest of the information up front to shorten your wait for an answer.

[datapulse]

Maybe I was a little OTT. However (and this is meant constructively, not to further this thread) it is annoying for a developer when a support dept ask you for a whole load of information that does not seem appropriate to the particular case. I have seen it when working in support that this is done in the hope the punter will not come back. I not accusing anyone at myEclipse of that, the support given has always been excellent.

[noodnik2]

OK one more developer hoping to get an answer here. I’m getting the same thing. Also JBoss 4.0.3 running JDK1.5.0_06, MyEclipse 4.1M1, Eclipse 3.1.1, vanilla “JSF” project simple JSP based upon JSF Template, deleted “INSERT YOUR BUNDLE HERE” line, called with *.faces URL (e.g. instead of my.jsp I entered “my.faces”; just like the other user said he did).

Any info or the answer will be appreciated. Thanks.

[noodnik2]

It’s clear from the following log entries that a faces context is being created:

[…]

Any apropos observation or insight appreciated! Thanks.

noodnik2,
I believe the problem is that JBoss ships JSF JARs with it’s install, and there might be a conflict.

The quickest way to see “what’s up” is to go download Tomcat 5.5.9, unzip it somewhere (get the zip, not the EXE), setup your Tomcat 5 connector, deploy your project to Tomcat 5 and fire it up, does it work? If so, check our your JBoss lib directories, I believe another user had this exactly same issue a few weeks ago and it turned out his project’s JSF impl was conflicting with the ones provided by the app server.

[Riyad Kalla]

noodnik2,
I saw that you found the thread: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/problems-with-jsflogindemo/#post-242831

Are you up and running now?

[YellowDog]

I was having the same problem in a Tomcat 5 server. However my app is my own creation, not a sample. In index.jsp I had this code:

<%
String url = response.encodeRedirectURL("jsp/greeting.jsp");
response.sendRedirect(url);
%>

Changing the extension of the target file to “faces” solved my problem (my deployment descriptor maps the servlet to *.faces).

BTW, the sendRedirect() method does not seem to like absolute path names (e.g. /jsp/greeting.faces). I get a 404 – Not Found.
