Websphere, Liferay, Myfaces, Primefaces

[Chaminda Amarasinghe, módosítva 11 év-val korábban]

Hi Friends,

I have a Simple Hello World JSF portlet which runs on Websphere 8. For UIs I have used Primefaces 3.4, on Mojarra. In Webshpere terms to acheive that I have to used isolated shared library for Mojarra Implementation jars since websphere default implementation is Myfaces. Everything works fine.

But befause of business requirement, I have to had change the Mojarra jsf implementation to default Myfaces implemetation.

I have made the following changes to my exising (working) portlets.

1. web.xml
change the listener for mysfaces

<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>


2. faces-config.xml
added factory and view hander as follows,

<factory>
<faces-context-factory>com.liferay.util.bridges.jsf.myfaces.MyFacesContextFactoryImpl</faces-context-factory>
</factory>
<application>
<view-handler>com.sun.facelets.FaceletPortletViewHandler</view-handler>
</application>


3. Added myfaces implementation jars to lib,

With these changers when I try to access portlet I am getting following exception,

Exception created : [javax.portlet.faces.BridgeException: java.lang.VerifyError: org.apache.myfaces.context.servlet.ServletFacesContextImpl

If I remove above factory and view hander above from faces-config, I am getting folloing exception

Please note that in both cases I am not getting any deployment errors. I have not added any myfaces portlet bridge jars other than liferay default. portlet class is <portlet-class>javax.portlet.faces.GenericFacesPortlet</portlet-class>

Is this doable? Is there any other configurations ? jars needed be added?
Can someone help me to ge this done?

Best Regards,
Chaminda

Please note that liferay version is 6.1.1.-ce-ga2

The com.liferay.util.bridges.jsf.myfaces.MyFacesContextFactoryImpl is a legacy feature for JSF 1.x and is not necessary in a JSF 2.x portlet.

Additionally, the com.sun.facelets.FaceletPortletViewHandler is something was required to get the old Facelets project to work with JSF 1.x, and is not necessary in a JSF 2.x portlet.

In order to see if you can get MyFaces working in general with PrimeFaces, I would recommend that you download the primefaces3-portlet demo and replace the Mojarra jsf-api and jsf-impl JARs with the MyFaces myfaces-api and myfaces-impl JARs. I would further recommend that you try version 2.1.8.

One thing I would point out, is that the faces-config.xml file for the primefaces3-portlet demo has an entry for the Liferay Faces ViewScopePhaseListener, which helps with a MyFaces related issue. For more information, see the JavaDoc comments of ViewScopePhaseListener.java

Hi Neil,

Thanks for the quick response and explainations. I will try with demo and let you know.
