JSF Help

[Martin]

I'm convinced that the error messages for JSF were designed by Satan.

I'm running Apache Tomcat 5.0. Here's the error message it's giving me.

code:

Which leads me to believe that there's a problem with my WEB-INF/faces-config.xml

Here's faces-config.xml, copied from another application that works perfectly (hence the redundant navigation rules). If I uncomment the application tag, it gives me different errors.

code:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC   "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN"   "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd"> <faces-config> <!--         <application>                 <message-bundle>custMessages</message-bundle>                 <locale-config>                         <default-locale>en</default-locale>                         <supported-locale>sv</supported-locale>                 </locale-config>         </application> -->         <managed-bean>               <managed-bean-name>addEmployeeHandler</managed-bean-name>               <managed-bean-class>jsf.AddEmployeeHandler</managed-bean-class>               <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>         </managed-bean>                 <navigation-rule>                 <from-view-id>/pages/emp_add.jsp</from-view-id>                 <navigation-case>                         <from-outcome>valid</from-outcome>                         <to-view-id>/pages/emp_add.jsp</to-view-id>                 </navigation-case>                 <navigation-case>             <from-outcome>invalid</from-outcome>             <to-view-id>/pages/emp_add.jsp</to-view-id>               </navigation-case>         </navigation-rule> </faces-config>

So yeah, I have no idea. Please help...

[rizzix]

unfortunatly i have no idea either.. (no experience with myfaces).. i'll try though.. hmm

[Martin]

My error woes are gone, but I have another problem.

I'm using a javax.faces.model.DataModel to get data from an <h:dataTable>

No matter what I do however, the DataModel returns only the first row of the table.

[wtd]

Are you absolutely certain there's more than one row in the table?

[Martin]

Has anyone had a problem with JSF not calling a setter method for something on the page (but still calls the getter method?) It's not a conversion error, either.

[Martin]

Figured it out. Needed to add a line to my web.xml. Heaven forbit that JSF throw an error message or even a warning...
