JSF,Tiles, Sun App Server and NetBeans 5.5
hi all,
here is my environment :
1.Server - Sun Application Server (Running On Suse Linux OS)
2.IDE - NetBeans 5.5
3.Project - JSF with Tiles
here i found topic about tiles and jsf :
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=643536&messageID=3792238
but i think that Tiles is best alternative for JSF Layout Manager (It's my mind).
is there anybody help me how to integrate tiles with jsf ?
here is my example :
1.web.xml :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Tiles Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>definitions-config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles-def.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
2. tiles-def.xml :
<tiles-definitions>
<!--****************************************************************-->
<!-- Global Layout-->
<!--****************************************************************-->
<definition name="global.layout" path="/pages/Mylayout/layout.jsp">
<put name="title" value="Magti Billing System" type="string"></put>
<put name="subtitle" value="Magti Billing System" type="string"></put>
<put name="header" value="/pages/Mylayout/header.jsp"></put>
<put name="subheader" value="/pages/Mylayout/sub_header.jsp"></put>
<put name="footer" value="/pages/Mylayout/footer.jsp"></put>
<put name="body" value="/pages/Mylayout/body.jsp"></put>
<put name="left_menu" value="/pages/Mylayout/left_menu.jsp"></put>
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
3.and then i have 5 blank jsp pages : body.jps, footer.jsp, header.jsp, layout.jsp, left_menu.jsp, sub_header.jsp.
4. here is my layout.jsp code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jsp:root version="1.2"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
xmlns:webuijsf="http://www.sun.com/webui/webuijsf"
xmlns:tiles="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles"
>
<tiles:importAttribute scope="request"></tiles:importAttribute>
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"/>
<f:view>
<webuijsf:page binding="#{pages$Mylayout$layout.page1}" id="page1">
<webuijsf:html binding="#{pages$Mylayout$layout.html1}" id="html1">
<webuijsf:head binding="#{pages$Mylayout$layout.head1}" id="head1">
<webuijsf:link binding="#{pages$Mylayout$layout.link1}" id="link1" url="/resources/stylesheet.css"/>
</webuijsf:head>
<webuijsf:body binding="#{pages$Mylayout$layout.body1}" id="body1" style="-rave-layout: grid">
<webuijsf:form binding="#{pages$Mylayout$layout.form1}" id="form1">
<h:panelGrid columns="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
border="0" styleClass="maingrid" columnClasses="maingrid">
<f:facet name="header">
<f:subview id="header">
<h:panelGrid columns="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tiles:insert attribute="header" flush="false" />
<tiles:insert attribute="subheader" flush="false" />
</h:panelGrid>
</f:subview>
</f:facet>
<f:subview id="left_menu">
<tiles:insert attribute="left_menu" flush="false" />
</f:subview>
<f:subview id="body">
<tiles:insert attribute="body" flush="false" />
</f:subview>
<!--
<f:facet name="footer">
<f:subview id="footer">
<tiles:insert attribute="footer" flush="false" />
</f:subview>
</f:facet>
-->
</h:panelGrid>
</webuijsf:form>
</webuijsf:body>
</webuijsf:html>
</webuijsf:page>
</f:view>
</jsp:root>
5. and at last i have index.jsp:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jsp:root version="1.2"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
xmlns:webuijsf="http://www.sun.com/webui/webuijsf"
xmlns:tiles="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles"
>
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"/>
<f:view>
<webuijsf:page binding="#{pages$main$index.page1}" id="page1">
<webuijsf:html binding="#{pages$main$index.html1}" id="html1">
<webuijsf:head binding="#{pages$main$index.head1}" id="head1">
<webuijsf:link binding="#{pages$main$index.link1}" id="link1" url="/resources/stylesheet.css"/>
</webuijsf:head>
<webuijsf:body binding="#{pages$main$index.body1}" id="body1" style="-rave-layout: grid">
<webuijsf:form binding="#{pages$main$index.form1}" id="form1">
<tiles:insert definition="global.layout" flush="false"/>
</webuijsf:form>
</webuijsf:body>
</webuijsf:html>
</webuijsf:page>
</f:view>
</jsp:root>
but i get an error like this :
