Problem Configuring MyFaces

[J Haley]

I�m having problems integrating MyFaces. Standard JSF tags (�h� and �f�) are working, but all �t� tags are not. I�m guessing that I have a problem with how I�ve configured web.xml. I do have the tomahawk jar and sun�s jsf jars in my lib directory.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Show your jspx, and as well your startup log.

Couple of problems, I can see:

1) Do you have both Sun RI and MyFaces jars? You need to get rid of the Sun RI jars

2) From your example, it appears that you are trying to use Facelets. If so, you should get rid of jsps. You need to properly configure Facelets. The Facelets home page should give you the documentation you need to help you doing just that.

[Hung Tang]

https://facelets.dev.java.net/nonav/docs/dev/docbook.html#config

http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Use_Facelets_with_Tomahawk

Good luck.

[J Haley]

I am using both Sun RI and MyFaces jars. In the past tomahawk 1.1.1, I was able to use both. Do you know if this changed? I will try pulling out Sun Ri and see if it will work.

I am using facelets, the only JSP I have forwards into faces "calculator.faces".

Thanks for responding so quickly.

[Hung Tang]

I never used both Sun RI + MyFaces together. In general, you shouldn't use two implementations of the same spec, because it can cause all sort of class loader problems.

For Facelets, make sure you set it up so that JSF is using Facelets as the rendering technology. You should have a line in your faces-config.xml to toggle this. Follow the examples outlined on the Facelets web site carefully and you should have everything working nicely soon enough.

[J Haley]

I am still struggling, and not sure why. I got rid of Sun RI and changed over to MyFaces. I don�t think this was initially the problem, because I saw some documentation saying it�s compatible. http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/index.html

I�m at the same place I was before, standard faces tags (h and f) work, but tomahawk tags (t) don�t.

Here are jars in my lib directory.

Got it. Since I am also using facelets there was more configuration to do.
