JSF 2 Annotations with Websphere 7 (JEE5, JAVA 1.6)
- by gerges
Hey all,
I'm currently writing a simple JSF 2 app for WAS 7. When I define the bean via the faces-config.xml, everything works great
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>personBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>com.prototype.beans.PersonBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
When I try to use the annotations below instead, the app failes.
package com.prototype.beans;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
@ManagedBean(name="personBean")
@RequestScoped
public class PersonBean {
....
}
I've set the WAS classloader to Parent Last, and verified in the logs that Mojarra 2.x is loading.
[5/17/10 10:46:59:399 CDT] 00000009 config I Initializing Mojarra 2.0.2 (FCS b10) for context '/JSFPrototype'
However, when I try to use the app (which had worked with XML based config) I see the following
[5/17/10 10:48:08:491 CDT] 00000016 lifecycle W /pages/inputname.jsp(16,7) '#{personBean.personName}' Target Unreachable, identifier 'personBean' resolved to null
org.apache.jasper.el.JspPropertyNotFoundException: /pages/inputname.jsp(16,7) '#{personBean.personName}' Target Unreachable, identifier 'personBean' resolved to null
Anyone know whats going wrong?
