So, I want to try out some JSF2.0 stuff, but I want to do it on Tomcat instead of Glassfish. Should it be hard? Well, here are the requirements for JSF 2.0:
JSF is based on the following Java API specifications:
■ JavaServer Pages™ Specification, version 2.1 (JSP™) <http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/>
■ Java™ Servlet Specification, version 2.5 (Servlet) <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/>
■ Java™2 Platform, Standard Edition, version 5.0 <http://java.sun.com/j2se/>
■ Java™2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, version 5.0 <http://java.sun.com/j2ee/>
■ JavaBeans™ Specification, version 1.0.1 <http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/docs/spec.html>
■ JavaServer Pages™ Standard Tag Library, version 1.2 (JSTL) <http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/>
Therefore, a JSF container must support all of the above specifications.
From the Tomcat release notes, we get Tomcat 6 supporting the folowing APIs:
* annotations-api.jar (Annotations package)
* catalina.jar (Tomcat Catalina implementation)
* catalina-ant.jar (Tomcat Catalina Ant tasks)
* catalina-ha.jar (High availability package)
* catalina-tribes.jar (Group communication)
* el-api.jar (EL 2.1 API)
* jasper.jar (Jasper 2 Compiler and Runtime)
* jasper-el.jar (Jasper 2 EL implementation)
* jasper-jdt.jar (Eclipse JDT 3.3 Java compiler)
* jsp-api.jar (JSP 2.1 API)
* servlet-api.jar (Servlet 2.5 API)
* tomcat-coyote.jar (Tomcat connectors and utility classes)
* tomcat-dbcp.jar (package renamed database connection pool based on Commons DBCP)
Hmmm...I thought I was alright until I saw the reference to J2EE up there in the spec. That' can't be true!
This tutorial covers JSF 1.x with Apache MyFaces, but the the JSF 2.0 tutorial covers JSF 2 with the free Mojarra JSF2 implementation. Click on a topic below to get the detailed tutorial, download the source code, or try out exercises on the topic.
