Re: JSF 2, an implementation that works and looks pretty

Do you mean even if you include the facelets .jar file in the WEB-INF/lib as required by JSF 1.2?

Hi,


Setting the faces-config.xml back to 1.2 will not work when using
Facelets as a view technology. I tried this and it just wouldn't work.
Just my $0.02

1.2 components should work in JSF 2.0.  At most, you should have to set the
faces-config.xml descriptor back to 1.2 -- but it shouldn't require you to
abandon JavaEE 6 (i.e. GlassFish v3).  With the components you are testing, I
would like to hear *why* you were unsuccessful b/c they should work even if
they were not written for JSF2.

Thanks!

    Hi Judy

    Here is the JSF Matrix : http://www.jsfmatrix.net/
    You will see no libaries have a tick next to JSF 2

    I did see this from Jason Lee (Sun)
    http://kenai.com/projects/scales/pages/Home#Samples
    Not exactly a library, but something to look at while doing jsf 2.

    I samples in there are also Maven 2. yay :)
    Will try this on Monday.

    regards

        Hi Judy

            Great news.  Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us,
            looks JSF2/GlassFish is holding strong for your projects.  Please
            continue report issues to us!


        thanks, will do.
        I may need to move back to GlassFish 2.1 because I am lacking a good
        production ready JSF 2 suite I am happy with. :-((
        (and my traditional Icefaces 1.x does not work on GF 3 - Icefaces issue
        not GlassFish)



            Let's see how many GlassFish beans we can harvest in the Frameworks
            table :-)

            (1) Icefaces 2.0.0 Alpha 1/GlassFish - struggle is with Icefaces,
            GlassFish is doing right thing, right?


        Yes is looks ok, problem is it's Alpha 1. From what I can see only the
        compatibility components works i.e. JSF 1.2 still.
        The examples they bundle with JSF 1.2 only.



            (2) PrimeFaces 2.0.0 RC does not work in GlassFish 3. (I think
            there is a bug logged) - Is it a GlassFish bug or not? If yes,
            please give bug number, I can help follow up.


        I think this is a Primefaces issue. There is something that JSF2 does
        not like with Primefaces.
        You can try it out. http://www.primefaces.org/downloads.html (sample
        wars are at the bottom)
         


            (3) OpenFaces 2.0 EA2OpenFaces 2.0 EA2/GlassFish - working fine on
            v3 b74b, right? I can use following link in the Frameworks table to
            say this sample worked on v3 b74b, right :-)


        Yes , actually it works well. I made the assumption that OpenFaces 2
        was JSF 2, but it's not.
        It's a bit of a pain to set up and I still don't have a good maven
        example that works.
         
        (4) RichFaces 4.0.0 Alpha 1
        I could not get the samples going a while back. Must still check it out
        again. http://www.jboss.org/richfaces/download/milestones.html
        The wonderful thing is that they provide a Maven project so it takes
        most of the guess work out.

        (5) Apache MyFaces- Core JSF 2.0
        It seems to be in some kind of pre-release, so I can't use this in
        production.
        http://myfaces.apache.org/core20/index.html


        If anyone can suggest anything else, please do.


        thanks
        Richard.
