JSF doesn't interpreted in seam

Question

Hy guys,

I installed jboss-seam on weblogic 10.3 (with many problem :( ) but now it's work, my application is deployed.

But now, I have a new problem, my JSF isn't interpreted and the JSF code appears in HTML.

Here is my web.xml:

My FacesServlet is load in startup but JSF doesn't work.

Someone can help me ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If the XHTML page is not been parsed by the FacesServlet, then it simply means that the request URL did not match the url-pattern of the FacesServlet. You have set its url-pattern to *.seam So, to open the JSF page, you should not invoke it by http://example.com/page.xhtml, but by http://example.com/page.seam.

By the way, the javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX sets the actual file extension of template files where JSF should look for and parse. You've set it to .seam as well, but this should really be .xhtml.

I dont know if this will help, but here is our web.xml

Answer 3

I had this in my web.xml:

<filter>
        <display-name>RichFaces Filter</display-name>
        <filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
        <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
        <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
    </filter-mapping>

And now, it's working.
