Introduction to Configuring ADF Faces

A JSF web application requires a specific set of configuration files, namely, web.xml and faces-config.xml.

ADF applications also store configuration information in the adf-config.xml and adf-settings.xml files. Because ADF Faces shares the same code base with My Faces Trinidad, a JSF application that uses ADF Faces components for the UI also must include a trinidad-config.xml file, and optionally a trinidad-skins.xml file.

Configuration in web.xml

Part of a JSF application's configuration is determined by the contents of its Java EE application deployment descriptor, web.xml.

 

 The web.xml file, which is located in the /WEB-INF directory, defines everything about your application that a server needs to know (except the root context path, which is automatically assigned for you in JDeveloper, or assigned by the system administrator when the application is deployed


Typical runtime settings in the web.xmlfile include initialization parameters, custom tag library location, and security settings.

·         Context parameter javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD set to client




The following is configured in the web.xmlfile for all applications that use ADF Faces:

·         Context parameter javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD set to client

·         MyFaces Trinidad filter and mapping

·         MyFacesTrinidad resource servlet and mapping

JSF servlet and mapping

How to Configure for JSF and ADF Faces in web.xml

 

In JDeveloper, when you create a project that uses JSF technology, a starter web.xml file with default servlet and mapping elements is created for you in the /WEB-INF directory.




When you use ADF Faces components in a project (that is, a component tag is used on a page rather than just importing the library), in addition to default JSF configuration elements, JDeveloper also automatically adds the following to the web.xml file for you:

·         Configuration elements that are related to MyFaces Trinidad filter and MyFaces Trinidad resource servlet

·         Context parameter javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD with the value of client



When you elect to use JSP fragments in the application, JDeveloper automatically adds a JSP configuration element for recognizing and interpreting .jsff files in the application.

 shows the web.xml file with the default elements that JDeveloper adds for you when you use JSF and ADF Faces and .jsff files.


Generated web.xml File example:

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?><web-app 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-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5"

         xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">

  <description>Empty web.xml file for Web Application</description>

 

  <servlet>

    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>

    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>

    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

  </servlet>

 

  <servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>

    <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>

  </servlet-mapping>

  <session-config>

    <session-timeout>35</session-timeout>

  </session-config>

  <mime-mapping>

    <extension>html</extension>

    <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>

  </mime-mapping>

  <mime-mapping>

    <extension>txt</extension>

    <mime-type>text/plain</mime-type>

  </mime-mapping>

</web-app>

To add ADF Faces configuration elements in web.xml:

1.    In the Application Navigator, double-click web.xml to open the file.

By default, JDeveloper opens the web.xml file in the overview editor, as indicated by the active Overview tab at the bottom of the editor window.

When you use the overview editor to add or edit entries declaratively, JDeveloper automatically updates the web.xml file for you.

2.    To edit the XML code directly in the web.xml file, click Source at the bottom of the editor window.

When you edit elements in the XML editor, JDeveloper automatically reflects the changes in the overview editor.


Required Elements in web.xml

 

The required, application-wide configuration elements for JSF and ADF Faces in the web.xml file are:

Context parameter javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD: Specifies where to store the application's view state. By default this value is server, which stores the application's view state on the server. It is recommended that you set javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD to client when you use ADF Faces, to store the
