Test RichFaces with JBDS 8.1.0 ------------------------------ Key: RFPL-3915 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RFPL-3915 Project: RichFaces Planning Issue Type: Sub-task Components: QE Reporter: Pavol Pitonak Assignee: Matej Novotny Fix For: 4.5.7 *In case of any changes and/or inaccuracy be sure to update this description.* # create a new Maven project and deploy it to WildFly 8.2 and Tomcat 8 #* File -> New -> Other #* Select {{Maven Project}} #* Once prompted to choose archetype, add new repository to Catalog #** As address you are going to need the staging repo URL #* Choose simple-app from the newly added repo (e.g. with correct RF version) #* Test with Tomcat (no changes needed) #* Test with Wildfly #** Need to activate {{jee6}} profile # create a new Ant project and deploy it to WildFly 8.2 and Tomcat 8 #* File -> New -> Other #* Select {{JSF Project}} & when prompted choose 'Kickstars without libs' #* Don't forget to use JSF 2.2 #* Finish the wizard, you can install Wildfly and Tomcat servers at this point #* Get RF Distribution (from staged repo in ZIP format) and add JAR files (with RF and mandatory libs) to this new project #* Download javax.faces JAR (or myfaces) => this is *only* needed for Tomcat so add only if you wish to deploy app there #* As a template you can use RF simple-app archetype and copy following things to ant project, if possible preserve the structure: #** RichBean.java #** index.xhtml #** templates (whole folder) #* Add following to the web.xml (it only maps index page to localhost:8080/app_name) #** {code}<welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>faces/index.xhtml</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>{code} #* At this point, app should be buildable and deployable and accessible at {{localhost:8080/app_name}} #* Test on Wildfly #* Add JSF implementation JAR to libraries, rebuild and test on Tomcat #** Based on JSF impl chosen you might come across following bug: https://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-3400 #** Workaround is to change RichBean from {{ViewScoped}} to {{SessionScoped}} # Try to import existing Maven project #* Make use of Showcase in RF distribution ZIP and import that #* To deploy with Tomcat no additional settings is needed #* To deploy with Wildfly tou need to activate {{jbas71 profile}} # create new project from JBoss Central add 4. According to the RFPL-2204 it should be verified that the project can be generated only from Maven Central, steps to do that: In addition to this, a manual verification of the archetype in JBoss tools is required. Steps to test a SNAPSHOT of the archetype in JBoss tools are as follows: (03:05:35 PM) Snjeza: you can create project example user site pointing to whatever project example descriptor you want (03:06:09 PM) bleathem: Snjeza: how do you do that? (03:09:12 PM) Snjeza: bleathem: Call Window>Preferences>JBoss Tools>Project Examples and click the Add button. Project example xml file can be in your local file system (03:09:53 PM) bleathem: Snjeza: and how do I make a project example xml file? Can I just copy one from somehwere else? (03:15:10 PM) Snjeza: bleathem: you can copy the following http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/examples/project-examples-shared-3.3... and change the version of your richfaces archetype (03:33:58 PM) Snjeza: bleathem: You have to check the Show experimental sites checkbox if you want user sites to be shown *The last step has sever substeps. This steps can be performed when RichFaces are in maven central repository. Do the following:* 1) I use latest stable JBDS, e.g. for this release *8.1.0* downloaded from this site https://www.jboss.org/products/devstudio/download/ 2) Download particular project-examples-shared-VERSION.xml from this site. I download the file with the biggest version number. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/examples/ 4) Alter the project-examples-shared-VERSION.xml in this way comment lines <stacksId>richfaces-archetype-kitchensink</stacksId> and <stacksType>richfaces-kitchensink</stacksType> un-comment lines which contain comment: unnecessary when a stacksId is used (only for richfaces part). change the version of the richfaces-archetype-kitchensink to the released one, e.g. for this release 4.5.0.Beta1 save it 5) In JBDS, Preferences --> JBoss Tools --> Project Examples --> add new site, which points to the edited .xml file. 6) Shut down JBDS in your local ~/.m2/settings.xml turn off all JBoss repositories (or in other global settings). So Any project will be built only from Maven central repositories. Remove all richfaces artifacts from your local repository, so they will be downloaded when necessary. 7) Start JBDS. 8) In JBoss Central (the start page), click on the Project Exampels Wizard, located next to Start from sample header 9) Check show experimental sites 10) From select box choose your site. 11) Create RichFaces project. 12) It should download artifacts only from Maven Central, and it should be deployable. Test it only on Wildfly.
