The JSF 2.0 Complete Sample Application

This sample application shows the use of many new features in JavaServer Faces 2.0. These features include Facelets (including templating), Ajax, new simplified Facelets tag library syntax, composite components, implicit navigation, and more. Data is stored and retrieved via JPA.

Building, Deploying, and Running the Application

Perform the following steps to build, deploy, and run the application:

  1. Set up your build environment and configure the application server with which the build system has to work by following the common build instructions.
  2. app_dir is the sample application base directory:samples_install_dir/javaee6/web/jsf/scrumtoys/.
  3. Change directory to app_dir.
  4. Build, deploy, and run the sample application using the all target.
  5. app_dir> ant all

    You can replace the ant all command with the following set of commands:

    app_dir> ant default compiles and packages the application

    app_dir> ant deploy deploys it to application server

    app_dir> ant run runs the test java client

  6. Use the target clean to undeploy the sample application and to remove the temporary directories such as build and dist.

    app_dir> ant clean

Building, Deploying, and Running the Application in NetBeans IDE

Perform the following steps to build, deploy, and run the application using NetBeans IDE:

  1. Refer to the common build instructions for setting up NetBeans IDE and Java EE 6 SDK.
  2. In the NetBeans IDE, choose File → Open Project (Ctrl-Shift-O), navigate to the samples_install_dir/javaee6/web/jsf/ directory, select scrumtoys, and click Open Project.
  3. In the Projects tab, right click scrumtoys and select Run to build, deploy, and run the project.

Troubleshooting

In case of receiving "Error on try to save Project" check if database is up.
The domains/domain1/log/server.log file may contain the following errors:

[#|2009-05-14T23:23:17.140-0700|SEVERE|glassfish|org.eclipse.persistence.session

Once the scrumtoys application is deployed while database is down, bringing database up will not fix the problem. Restarting glassfish does not help either. The only way to get the scrumtoys application working properly is to have the database up before *deploying* the application. Thus to remedy the problem with not being able to save a project one needs to do the following:

  1. asadmin start-database
  2. ant clean
  3. ant run

If you still have problems when running the application, refer the troubleshooting document.
