I am quite new to J2EE development so please forgive such a newbie question. I am trying to work through the JSFLoginDemo as well as a project from JavaServer Faces in Action by Kito Mann. I cannot get any JSF application working on JBoss 4.0.3SP1. I have gone through and double checked everything and I can’t figure this one out. My web.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.4" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee   http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
  <context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml</param-value>
  </context-param>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

When I run the application, I get this error in server.log:

2006-06-18 10:36:09,906 DEBUG [com.sun.faces.application.ViewHandlerImpl] Found URL pattern mapping to FacesServlet .faces
2006-06-18 10:36:09,906 DEBUG [com.sun.faces.application.ViewHandlerImpl] viewId after appending the context suffix /userLogin.jsp
2006-06-18 10:36:09,921 DEBUG [com.sun.faces.application.ViewHandlerImpl] Before dispacthMessage to newViewId /userLogin.jsp
2006-06-18 10:36:10,406 ERROR [javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag] Faces context not found. getResponseWriter will fail. Check if the FacesServlet has been initialized at all in your web.xml.
2006-06-18 10:36:10,406 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/JSFLoginDemo].[jsp]] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception

I see that is says to check if the FacesServlet has been initialized in web.xml. As far as I can tell, it has.

Thanks in advance for any help. If more detail is needed, I’ll be happy to provide.

As I guessed, I am not the only one with this problem. I found this thread:

https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/problems-with-jsflogindemo/#post-242831

My apologies for reposting an old topic. I did search for this and couldn’t find it initially before posting.

I have deployed the app to Tomcat 5 and it worked! That is the good news. The bad news is I still can’t get it to work on JBoss. I followed the instructions from JBoss here:

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossWithIntegratedMyFaces

and it still won’t work. Maybe I need to search down the “default” server path for MyFaces stuff.

So, the problem is obviously a JBoss one. Any more infor on getting this to work would be helpful.

Thanks.

I got it working on JBoss! I searched down the “default” server’s path and sure enough, there was that jsf-libs directory. I stopped the server, deleted that directory, restarted the server and it worked!

Thanks to those who have struggeled with this and left me a trail.

I hope this post helps someone else!
