Null pointer exception at at javax.portlet.faces.GenericFacesPortlet

[siddharth mishra, modificado 11 Anos atrás.]

Hi,

I am creating a Primefaces portlet and referring following tutorial . I have done one small change in portlet.xml instead of <portlet-class>org.portletfaces.bridge.GenericFacesPortlet</portlet-class> I have used <portletclass>javax.portlet.faces.GenericFacesPortlet</portlet-class>. And I used the liferay-faces-bridge-api-3.1.0-ga1.jar, my liferay version is liferay-portal-6.1.20-ee-ga2.

While deploying the portlet I am getting the following error stack ,please guide:

The tutorial you referred to is out-of-date. It uses an old (unsupported) version of PrimeFaces. It also uses PortletFaces Bridge instead of Liferay Faces Bridge.

I would recommend that at step#2, that you choose "JSF 2.0" instead of "Liferay MVC". The wizard should prompt you with "PrimeFaces" on the next screen.

Hi Neil,

Yes it worked thanks a lot. the IDE does a great job .We can have a some kind of documentation outlining the versatality of Liferay IDE for

JSf+Primefaces related operations and whatever the updates are taking place , since it is still in the evoloutionary stage.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Sid

Hi,
I did what you suggested but still facing the same problem : The class javax.portlet.faces.GenericFacesPortlet was not found on the Java Build
Path.

Hi Rachid,

Some of us became so embarrased by the age of the tutorial discussed in this thread, that I buckled today, and re-wrote the entire tutorial. I hope it can help you get beyond your errors using the Liferay IDE to build a primefaces portlet.

Let us know if you have any issues following the new tutorial.
