JSFCommands (AdminTask)

We can use the Jython scripting language to display and modify the JavaServer Faces (JSF) implementation.

Use the following command to administer JSF:

• listJSFImplementation

• modifyJSFImplementation

listJSFImplementation

The listJSFImplementation command displays the JSF implementation and version for a specific application.

Target object:

Specify the name of the application of interest. (String, required)

Required parameters None.

Return value

The command displays the JSF implementation and version. For example, if the command returns "SUNRI1.2", then JSF uses version 1.2 of the Sun Reference Implementation.

Batch mode example

• Jython string...
  AdminTask.listJSFImplementation('application1')

• Jython list:
  AdminTask.listJSFImplementation('application1')

Interactive mode

• Jython:
  AdminTask.listJSFImplementation('-interactive')

modifyJSFImplementation

The modifyJSFImplementation command modifies the JSF implementation for a specific application.

Target object:

Specify the name of the application of interest. (String, required)

Required parameters

-implName

Name of the implementation to use. Specify SUNRI1.2 to use the Sun Reference 1.2 Implementation, or specify MyFaces to use the Apache MyFaces 2.0 project implementation. By default, applications use MyFaces. (String, required)

Return value

The command does not return output.

Batch mode example

• Jython string...
  AdminTask.modifyJSFImplementation('-implName MyFaces')

• Jython list:
  AdminTask.modifyJSFImplementation('-implName', 'MyFaces')

Interactive mode

• Jython:
  AdminTask.modifyJSFImplementation('-interactive')
