no faces context

[sanju dharma]

Hi ,
I am new to JSF. I am following tutorials at http://www.exadel.com/tutorial/jsf/jsftutorial-kickstart.html.

But I am getting above error "no faces context" when I go to main URL . Looks like it is very basic error . I searched on this forum and on search engines and tried various things . But no result.

Can anybody advice ?
Also, if you anybody knows better tutorial on JSF than above, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hey sanju,

Depending on your faces servlet configuration in web.xml file, you have to type your url something like this:

<a href="http://localhost/yourapp/yourpage<b rel="nofollow">.faces</b>" target="_blank">http://localhost/yourapp/yourpage.faces
or
<a href="http://localhost/yourapp<b rel="nofollow">/faces/</b>yourpage.jsp" target="_blank">http://localhost/yourapp/faces/yourpage.jsp

If you just type your url like http://localhost/yourpage.jsp for sure you will get a big fat NO FACES CONTEXT error.

Hi Edisandro ,
Thanks for your reply.

I tried based on your suggestion. In my case, I have welcome-file index.jsp in which i have only jsp:forward tag to forward to inputname.jsf or inputname.faces ( i tried with faces based on your comment) , but not working .


If you can take a quick look over code, it is there in the link I provided in the first post. I am doing exactly same , except my app server is jboss rather than tomcat.

Thanks again for the reply.

Here's my index.jsp:

<%@ page session="false"%>
<%
response.sendRedirect("listBusStops.jsf");
%>

But I'd get the same error you do if it wasn't for this:

<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
 

<!-- Faces Servlet Mapping -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
 
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

The xhtml mapping is because I'm using Facelets. For ordinaty JSF it doesn't apply.

Hi Tim,
I didnt get what you want to convey . Are you trying to answer my original question? I am getting "no faces context" error. As per your code snippets, I dont see any problem in my web.xml.

Thanks

Sometimes when a new user is having trouble with "no faces context" they have the sevlet mapping is set to *.jsf for the faces servlet. Try typeing in jsf instead of jsp.

Hi
Are you using jboss.Then jboss which version?
In JBoss AS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4, the JBoss Application Server features built-in Java Server Faces support.All the jar files required are in jsf-libs folder.See this link for more information.
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossWithIntegratedMyFaces

If you dont want to use the built in feature just delete the files in jsf-libs folder.
Regards
Satish
