Scott, the archetype generates a simple two page application. The
first page has a inputText where the use is prompted to enter their
name and press a submit button. However, instead of being blank, it
shows so #{helloWorldBacking.name}This is the source of the index.jspx page: <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"; version="2.0" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; xmlns:tr="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad"; > <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"/> <f:view> <tr:document title="Apache MyFaces Trinidad Archetype Demo"> <tr:form> <tr:panelPage> <tr:inputText label="Your name" id="input1" value="#{helloWorldBacking.name}" required="true"/> <tr:commandButton id="button1" text="press me" action="#{helloWorldBacking.send}" /> </tr:panelPage> </tr:form> </tr:document> </f:view> </jsp:root> This is the backing bean public class HelloWorldBacking { //properties private String _name = ""; /** * default empty constructor */ public HelloWorldBacking() { } //-------------------getter & setter public String getName() { return _name; } public void setName(String name) { this._name = name; } /** * Method that is backed to a submit button of a form. */ public String send() { FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); ExtendedRenderKitService service = (ExtendedRenderKitService) Service.getRenderKitService(facesContext, ExtendedRenderKitService.class); // service.addScript(facesContext, "alert('Script added by ExtendedRenderKitService')"); //do real logic return ("success"); } } The Maven archetype I used has a groupId of org.apache.myfaces.buildtools the archetypeArtifactId is myfaces-archetype-trinidad I didn't change the the generated sources at all except for commenting a line in the send() method to prevent a javascript alert from being displayed. I'm running this on a Macbook Pro and have tried it using Tomcat 6.0.32 and 7.0.8. What shows is "#{helloWorldBacking.name}" is the visible value of the inputText when the first page is displayed. The second page then displays "Hello #{helloWorldBacking.name}. We hope you enjoy Apache MyFaces Trinidad" BTW, this is the first time I've deployed a JSF app on tomcat 6 or 7. I'm not sure if there is anything extra I need to set up. I"m using the stock distributions. Thanks for your help!
