After reading [1], I was still unable to get myfaces working on Netbeans and am wondering if any users on this list are currently using NetBeans 5.5 with myfaces. I'd like to update the wiki so I'll try to be thorough:
I created a default JSF web application, then ran it. Worked fine. I then followed the instructions in [1], but my JSF pages are throwing a "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException" in the browser when I try to go from the welcome page (which is pure HTML) to a JSF page. Looking at the Sun AS 9 server logs, the exception came from javax.faces.context.FacesContext.getELContext(FacesContext.java:138). The IDE reports an error (I love red squiggly lines) when viewing the JSF source page--it can't resolve the taglibs for "http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" nor "http://java.sun.com/jsf/html". So I looked at the META-INF directory and verified that the myfaces_core.tld and myfaces_html.dtd are there…and they are. It looks like my issue is a dependency conflict, but I'm not sure what else NetBeans loads that is causing this problem.
I've added the tomahawk 1.1.3 and myfaces 1.1.4 jars, as well as the following:
Commons-logging 1.0.4
Commons-fileupload 1.0
Commons-collections 3.1
Commons-digester 1.6
Commons-beanutils 1.7.0
Commons-codec 1.3
Commons-validator
Commons-el
Jakarta-oro
Log4j 1.2.8
In the "Project Configuration" section of [1], it states:
"1. Open the context menu of the project in NetBeans and choose "Properties". Select "Libraries" and add a reference to the "MyFaces" library you just created. Because myfaces-all.jar contains a complete JSF implementation you need to uncheck the JSF 1.1 library . In principle it should be possible to use the tomahawk.jar file in combination with the JSF 1.1 library in Netbeans but I could not get it to work."
In NetBeans 5.5, there doesn't appear to be a "checkbox" for de-selecting the JSF 1.1 Library, but I did follow other notes on the web and deleted "jsf-impl.jar" from the Sun Application Server lib directory.
What is the bare minimum that must be done to convert the default JSF webapp in netbeans to use myfaces?
