Richfaces-showcase: GAE start time decreasing --------------------------------------------- Key: RF-10259 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-10259 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Enhancement Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Reporter: Ara Minosian I found a way to reduce JSF based application to start faster on GAE. 1. Register all managed beans statically in faces-config.xml 2. Use metadata-complete="true" attribute, so faces-config.xml boilerplate is: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd" version="2.0" metadata-complete="true"> <!--Your stuff here--> </faces-config> Using this technique you force JSF not to scan classes for beans. You can leave bean annotations in source code for user's clarity. It will not produce any error. 3. Force JSF not to check xml syntax. I hope IDE do it instead. In web.xml set context parameter as here: <context-param> <description> Set this flag to true if you want the JavaServer Faces Reference Implementation to validate the XML in your faces-config.xml resources against the DTD. Default value is false. </description> <param-name>com.sun.faces.validateXml</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </context-param> Using these tricks I reduce GAE start time by two seconds. Not bad. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
