Configure Portlet Bridge for JavaServer Faces

Configure IBM Portlet Bridge for JavaServer Faces (JSF).

The following procedure does not apply to v9.0 users without a fix pack:

Tasks

1. Open the portlet.xml file and modify the portlet class for JSF Portlet Bridge.

   <portlet-class>com.ibm.faces20.portlet.FacesPortlet</portlet-class>
   		<init-param>
   				<name>com.ibm.faces.portlet.page.view</name>
   				<value>/TestProjectView.xhtml</value>
   		<init-param>
   

   1. Open the portlet.xml file and modify the portlet class for JSF 2.2 Portlet Bridge.

      <portlet-class>com.ibm.faces20.portlet.FacesPortlet</portlet-class>
      		<init-param>
      				<name>com.ibm.faces.portlet.page.view</name>
      				<value>/TestProjectView.xhtml</value>
      		<init-param>
      

2. Open the faces-config.xml file and add the JSF portlet bridge variable resolver, view handler, and resource handler entry.

   <application>
   		<el-resolver>com.ibm.faces20.portlet.PortletELResolver</el-resolver>
   		<view-handler>com.ibm.faces20.portlet.FaceletPortletViewHandler</view-handler>
   		<resource-handler>com.ibm.faces20.portlet.httpbridge.PortletResourceHandler</resource-handler>
   </application>
   

   1. Add the JSF 2.2 portlet bridge variable resolver, view handler, and resource handler entry.

      <application>
                   <el-resolver>com.ibm.faces20.portlet.PortletELResolver</el-resolver>
      		<view-handler>com.ibm.faces20.portlet.FaceletPortletViewHandler</view-handler>
      		<resource-handler>com.ibm.faces20.portlet.httpbridge.PortletResourceHandler</resource-handler>
      </application>
      

3. Register the listener in the web.xml file.

   <listener>
   		<listener-class>com.ibm.faces20.portlet.httpbridge.PortletRequestAttributesListener
   		</listener-class>
   </listener>
   

What to do next

If the portlet project has a custom portlet class, these changes are also necessary:

• Point the portlet-class entry in the portlet.xml file to the particular custom portlet class used.

• Modify the portlet class to extend the com.ibm.faces20.portlet.FacesPortlet class from the JSF Portlet Bridge.
