JavaServerFaces Frameworks1. Introduction1.1. JavaServerFacesJavaServerFaces (JSF) is a web application framework which provides prewritten items for a GUI. The offered components improves the quality and speed of creating websites without the need to know what is going on in the background of this code. 1.2. Tips for Installation under WindowsGenerally you should try to find a WAR for each framework. Now I would like to show you a way how to enable and disable a webproject under tomcat again. First of all download and install Tomcat to a directory of your choice. To seperate Tomcat and the root-directory where all JSP will be placed create a directory like c:/jsf-root/. So open the file {TOMCAT_DIR}/conf/server.xml and scroll down until you reach </Host>. e.g.: <Context docBase="c:/jsf-root/myfaces" path="/myfaces" /> For each projects you can add a new <Context> to enable it or you can comment it out with <!-- <Context ... /> -->. Finally you can start your Tomcat by running {TOMCAT_DIR}/bin/startup.bat. Links: 1.3. Installing application using a WARIf you found a WAR from a framework you got luck. The installation is very easy and you do not have to edit any configuration file. Now you can start your browser and type the URL: http://localhost:8080/{NAME_OF_WARFILE}
e.g. adf-faces-demo-ea20-SNAPSHOT.war http://localhost:8080/adf-faces-demo-ea20-SNAPSHOT/ 1.4. Installing application without WARIf you are not able to find any WAR for your framework then it can be quite difficult.

2.4.4. InstallationI was not able to get the current binary distribution running without errors. So I choose another way to install Tobago. and a SVN client like TortoiseSVN: At the beginning check out the sources of Tobago:
svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/tobago/trunk/ tobago
In TortoiseSVN: After downloading change into the main directory and type: mvn install This proccess takes a while because Maven downloads all needed frameworks and compiles the sources of Tobago. If you see an error message like this: [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM). Project ID: org.apache.maven:maven-model Reason: Error getting POM for 'org.apache.maven:maven-model' from the repository : Error transferring file org.apache.maven:maven-model:pom:2.0 from the specified remote repositories: central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2), apache.snapshots (http://svn.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository), snapshots (http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2) [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 51 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Mon Jun 12 14:16:28 CEST 2006 [INFO] Final Memory: 4M/7M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just ignore it and run mvn install once again until all files are downloaded. In the end change into the demo directory example/demo and run
mvn package

3. Comparison between different frameworks3.1. Overview
3.2. Further information
4. Using a JSF framework in a hybris extension4.1. Create a new extension using extgenIt is not that difficult to combine JSF and a self-made extension for the hybris platform. Now it is time to show you a small example using one of the listed frameworks above. 4.2. Setting up the libraries
4.3. Build up the structure
index.jsp: <html> <head> <title>NetAdvantage: Example </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=index2.faces"> </head> <body> <p>Loading...</p> </body> </html>
4.4. Configure JSP for our hybris platform
<%@ include file="head.inc" %>
Now the beginning should look like this: ... <%@ page contentType="text/html" language="java"%> <%@ include file="head.inc" %> <%@ taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%> <%@ taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%> <%@ taglib prefix="ig" uri="http://www.infragistics.com/faces/netadvantage"%> ... At the end of this file add one last line to cleanup the JaloSession which has been created from head.inc:
<%@ include file="foot.inc" %>
<% JaloSession.deactivate(); %> 4.5. Set a filter to prevent JaloSession errors with Ajax-RequestsSometimes we get an internal server error as a page during some requests with Ajax: 500 Internal Server Error javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: de.hybris.jakarta.jalo.JaloSystemException: JaloSession.getCurrentSession(): No current session available. To activate a session use session.activate(). The message occurs when trying to use a JaloSession at this website before the head.inc could be included.
<!-- filters --> <filter> <filter-name>initfilter</filter-name> <filter-class>ybluestorepackage.filter.YBluestoreInitFilter</filter-class> </filter> <!-- filter mappings --> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>initfilter</filter-name> <url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> After inserting this code we need of course the depending filter.
Now we got everything we need to launch our application! 4.6. Run our extension
http://localhost:9001/{YOUR_EXTENSION}
