Hi Thomas,<br>
<br>
Thanks so much for your help and for shining some light on what is
possibly happening behind the scenes. <br>
<br>
In the end, JSF 1.1 worked as Martin suggested in a previous mail but
JSF 1.1 does not help in my case because the UI component library I was
planning to use(i.e <b>primefaces</b>) only supports JSF 1.2 and 2.0.
In addition, JSF 1.1 does not really provide an improvement over JSP
because am not able to use facelets which is the main feature I was
interested in because using facelets allows the use of component
libraries which reduces low-level programming of the view layer, aids
rapid development and facilitates the use of AJAX.<br>
<br>
Regarding using JSF 1.2 with a newer servlet-api version, am currently
using servlet-api 2.5 which is the current stable version and it still
does not work with OpenCMS. Do you still remember what version you
tested with? <br>
<br>
Thanks once again for your tips. I have actually added an enhancement
entry to OpenCMS bugzilla page. I really hope OpenCms/Alkacon can
consider supporting facelets.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Olaitan.<br>

AFAIK JSF 2.x uses facelets under the hood and this seems to contradict
the OpenCMS way.<br>
<br>
As fas as I could track the issue (I also tried to use JSF 1.2 with
facelets), the problem lies with facelets wanting to read the XHTML
files from the RFS and OpenCMS might not have downloaded them already.<br>
Maybe you could get facelets to load the files via OpenCMS in order to
access the VFS.<br>
<br>
Also note that I got JSF 1.2 to run with OpenCMS by supplying a newer
servlet-api version (if I remember correctly).<br>
JSF needed to use JSPs , however, so no improvement here.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I can't provide more information since using JSF without
facelets was a no go and thus my tests (and subsequent documentation)
were very short.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps anyway.<br>

<pre>Hi Everyone,
Any ideas on how to integrate JSF into OpenCMS so that .jsf files are
used as the view layer instead of .jsp template files?
I tried a small setup description on the OpenCMS wiki(

get it to work. The jsf tags are not translated/transformed to html so
my test page is always blank and I dont get any errors in the logs.
Suggestions and tips are warmly welcome.

<pre>Disclaimer: I'm currently not using OpenCms, so my help will be very limited
ATM.
It seems not many people are using OpenCms with JSF and Alcacon is not
interested in it, which is disappointing, as JSP is a technology which is
going to die (sooner or later).

<b>I totally agree with you. It is really sad that OpenCms/Alkacon
can
not see that jsp is getting outdated. Especially with the advent of
component based technologies and flexible AJAX frameworks out there. I
really hope they can re-consider using JSF as an alternative to JSP.</b>

<pre>However, the last time I used OpenCms with JSF it worked. All I had to do was
doing all the configuration issues described on the mentioned wiki page.
Note, that only JSF 1.1 is going to work, which is a pretty outdated
version! Which version are you using?

2.0.3. Maybe this is the problem, I will try out JSF 1.1 then( </b><font

component library am using is Primefaces and it only supports JSF 1.2
and JSF 2.0 so maybe I would have to try out some other UI component
library. By the way, did you use any additional UI component library
similar to primefaces? and if you did, what </b><b>component </b><b>library

you use?</b>

still got a blank page with empty html source. Thanks once again
