Tutorial: Creating JavaServer Faces JSF application in Eclipse

by · February 17, 2009

Let us see how to create a simple application using JavaServer Faces or JSF framework in Eclipse IDE. First let us see what are the tools required to create our hello world JSF application.
  1. JDK 1.5 above (download)
  2. Tomcat 5.x above or any other container (Glassfish, JBoss, Websphere, Weblogic etc) (download)
  3. Eclipse 3.2.x above (download)
  4. Sun Reference Implementation of JSF: (download). Following are the list of JAR files required for this application.
    • jsf-impl.jar
    • jsf-api.jar
    • jstl.jar
    • common-logging.jar
    • common-beanutils.jar
    • common-collections.jar
    • common-chain.jar
    • common-digester.jar
We will implement a JSF application with an Add User screen with two fields, ID and User Name. Once user enter these values and press submit, she will be redirected to a welcome page displaying the user name. Let us start with our first JSF based web application.

Step 1: Create Dynamic Web project

Open Eclipse and goto File -> New -> Project and select Dynamic Web Project in the New Project wizard screen. dynamic web project eclipse Select Dynamic Web application and click Next. create dynamic web project jsf Write the name of the project HelloWorldJSF. Once this is done, select the target runtime environment (e.g. Apache Tomcat v6.0). This is to run the project inside Eclipse environment. In configuration select JavaServer Faces v1.2 Project and press Next. [ad#blogs_content_inbetween] jsf-new-project On Project Facets window, select Java 5 and JSF 1.2 and press Next. Skip Web module window and press Next. jsf-capabilities-face-servlet Select JSF component library. Click New in Component Libraries and add jstl.jar, jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar. In URL Mapping Patterns add /faces/* and then click Finish. Once the project is created, you can see its structure in Project Explorer. jsf-project-explorer-view

Step 2: Create Package and Managed bean

Create a package net.viralpatel.jsf.helloworld in the source folder and create a Java file UserBean.java. Copy following content into UserBean.java.
package net.viralpatel.jsf.helloworld;

public class UserBean {
	private int id;
	private String name;
	
	//Action method to add user
	public String addUser() {
		
		return "success";
	}	
	public int getId() {
		return id;
	}
	public void setId(int id) {
		this.id = id;
	}
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
}

Code language: Java (java)
Above Java class is a User bean that we will use to store our user’s information. This class acts like a form bean and action class. The addUser() method will get called when we click Add button on our Add User page.

Step 3: Create JSP files

Create two JSP files: AddUser.jsp and ListUser.jsp in WebContent folder. Copy following content in each of these files.

AddUser.jsp

[ad#blogs_content_inbetween]
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
	
<html>
<head>
	<title>Add New User Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<f:view>
		<p>
			<h:message id="errors" for="User_ID" style="color:red"/>
		</p>
	<h:form>
		<h:panelGrid border="1" columns="2">
			<h:outputText value="ID"></h:outputText>
			<h:inputText id="User_ID" value="#{userBean.id}" required="true">
				<f:validateLongRange minimum="1" maximum="500"/>
			</h:inputText>
			<h:outputText value="Name"></h:outputText>
			<h:inputText value="#{userBean.name}"></h:inputText>
			<h:commandButton action="#{userBean.addUser}" 
				value="Add Customer"></h:commandButton>
		</h:panelGrid>
	</h:form>
</f:view>
</body>
</html>

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
We have added a validation rule for ID using f:validateLongRange tag and required=”true” attribute. The ID must be in between 1 and 500.

ListUser.jsp

<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>

<html>
<head>
	<title>List of Users</title>
</head>
<body>
<f:view>
	<h:form>
		<h:outputText value="User #{userBean.name} is added successfully.">
		</h:outputText>
	</h:form>
</f:view>
</body>
</html>

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Step 4: Modify faces-config.xml file

Open faces-config.xml from WebContent -> WEB-INF folder and copy following content into it.
<?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_1_2.xsd"
	version="1.2">
	<managed-bean>
		<managed-bean-name>userBean</managed-bean-name>
		<managed-bean-class>
			net.viralpatel.jsf.helloworld.UserBean
		</managed-bean-class>
		<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
	</managed-bean>
	<navigation-rule>
		<display-name>AddUser</display-name>
		<from-view-id>/AddUser.jsp</from-view-id>
		<navigation-case>
			<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
			<to-view-id>/ListUser.jsp</to-view-id>
		</navigation-case>
	</navigation-rule>
</faces-config>

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
In faces config we have defined a managed bean UserBean with scope session and mapping from AddUser.jsp to ListUser.jsp.

Step 5: Execute and run the project

Final step is to execute the project and view it in browser. For this, right click on Project Name in Project Explorer -> Run As -> Run on Server (Shortcut Alt+Shift+X, R). [ad#blogs_content_inbetween] add-new-user-jsf-project-eclipse Once you enter ID and Username and press Add User, following success screen will appear. add-user-success-jsf-project-eclipse

    The last screen shot of the browser still has AddUser.jsp as the URL instead of ListUser.jsp. This creates confusion.

    Hi Navier,
    JSF uses internal FORWARD instead of REDIRECT to navigate to the success page. Hence the URL will not get changed.

    Well, it uses forward “by default”. Just add a “redirect” tag to your navigation handler in faces-config.xml and there you are …. No more confusion (but you loose requestMap parameters, in case you use them or FacesMessages).

    Hi Viral,

    What is better, jsf RI or Apache’s myfaces?
    You have used jsf api nad impl jars
    Is it better than myfaces api and impl jars?
    what are the advantages and disadvantages?
    :)

    Hi Sharon,
    JSF is a specification provided by SUN and you will find a number of implementations of JSF and one of such implementation is from Apache called MyFaces. Although in above example I have used JSF just to show a basic example, it may be useful to use MyFaces in your early stage of development. MyFaces provides lots of components that can be easily integrated with application.

    If you are learning JSF for first time and just wants to know the life cycle of JSF application, then the reference implementation is quite useful. But if you are developing a full fledged application then you must use MyFaces.

    Hope this answers you queries. :)

    Thanks in advance. :)

    Hi Neo

    The reason you keep getting the error as Viv is that the app cant find the class ‘ javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet’. In another word it cant find the class javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet within the jar file jsf-api.jar. What you can try is to go into the JSF Capacities window to make sure you setup the Libraries to include the jsf-api.jar.
    Hope it helps.

      http://localhost:8092/PMOfinal/faces/index.jsp – works fine in Chrome, Mozilla. But in IE, it is plain – without style. Seems like IE is looking for http://localhost:8092/PMOfinal/faces/styles/blue_page.css

      For compilation, you’ll need environment variable set to JDK. So set JAVA_HOME to directory where JDK is installed.
