Question

I\'ve looked at a few resources for JSF and facelets, but don\'t understand a few configuration points. What\'s the distinction between:

Answer 1

The desired output (to an extent), in that "bar" is output, from the Hello bean, below:

thufir@dur:~$ 
thufir@dur:~$ lynx http://localhost:8080/Birds/falcon.xhtml -dump
                           The Happy Birds Directory

Contents table
     __________________________________________________________________

   [1]Home
   [2]Parrot
   [3]Eagle
   [4]Falcon

                                     Falcon

   The Happy Birds Directory contains birds. bean says bar

        This and everything after will be ignored
    

the falcon, speaks, to an extent:

    
        This and everything before will be ignored
        
            
                
            
            
                
Falcon
                

                    
The Happy Birds Directory
                        contains #{directoryBean.totalCount} birds.
                        bean says #{hello.foo()}
                    
                

            
        
        This and everything after will be ignored
    

however, output from the directoryBean doesn't get put into the web page.

the template:

 


    
        
        
    
    
        
            
The Happy Birds Directory
            

                
            
            
                Welcome to the nest!
            
        
    

directory bean:

package dur;

import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;

@Named
@SessionScoped
public class DirectoryBean {

    private int totalCount = 99;

    public DirectoryBean() {
    }

    public int getTotalCount() {
        System.out.println(totalCount);
        return totalCount;
    }

}

hello bean (note that it's @ManagedBean):

package dur;

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;

@Named
@SessionScoped
@ManagedBean(name = "hello")
public class Hello {

    public Hello() {
    }

    public String foo() {
        return "bar";
    }

    public String hi(String name) {
        return "hi " + name;
    }

}

the web.xml:

    
        javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX
        .xhtml
    
    
        Faces Servlet
        javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet
        1
    
    
        Faces Servlet
        *.xhtml
    
    
        
            30
        
    
    
        index.xhtml
