RE: Oh so very very close - Filter Mapping Error still: ExtensionsFilter not correctly configured.

Todd,

I really doubt you need it for learning MyFaces and I recommend you take those ExtensionFilter lines out of your web.xml until you get the hang of JSF.  The core is basically equivalent to the JSF RI.  Tomahawk is extra toys to play with and probably not even referenced in most older JSF books.  And, since it has been changing lately and being moved into a separate set of package to help programmers see how distinct it is from the core, those books which do reference Tomahawk probably don't even have the new syntax or current usage information for it, hence your extensionsFilter problem as a prime example of how it has changed lately.

However, if you are sure you need Tomahawk, which is an optional, component, try taking the /WEB-INF/web.xml file from the tomahawk file (tomahawk-examples-1.1.3-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip) example war: tomahawk-examples-1.1.3-SNAPSHOT/myfaces-example-blank-1.1.3-SNAPSHOT.war
Both are available in the nightly section (I was just there and downloaded it).

But, basically, THIS is how the tomahawk extensions are loaded in the 1.1.3 snapshot.  Again, you really should remove the extensions filter if you are learning JSF - stick to the CORE until you can handle JSF with ease.

 <filter>
   <filter-name>extensionsFilter</filter-name>

ExtensionsFilter not correctly configured.


I have:

MyFaces Core 1.1.2
tomahawk-1.1.3-SNAPSHOT

My web.xml filter is set-up as:

    <filter>
        <filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>

<filter-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.filter.ExtensionsFilter</filter-
class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>maxFileSize</param-name>
            <param-value>20m</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    </filter-mapping>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

However, I still return the error:

javax.servlet.ServletException: ExtensionsFilter not correctly
configured. JSF mapping missing. JSF pages not covered.


When I add:

<context-param>
       
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.CHECK_EXTENSIONS_FILTER</param-name>
        <param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>


I don't have the error, I just get plain HTML GUI controls.

I know I am close, but I can't get past this... Do I need to use the
SNAPSHOT of MyFaces Core instead of MyFaces Core 1.1.2?

Thanks,
