ICEsoft.org Forums: ICEfaces, ICEmobile, ICEpdf

I've got a woodstock project which I want to convert to IceFaces as Sun are EOLing Woodstock. I've downloaded the plugin for Netbeans 6.5 (ICEfaces-1.7.2-SP1b-NetBeans-6.5-modules) and installed it. I can create new IceFace projects very nicely and all should be sweetness and light.

Unfortunately when I follow the guide to convert the existing project to IceFaces I get the following error.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: ICEfaces requires the PersistentFacesServlet. Please check your web.xml servlet mappings

The servlet definition is in Web.xml, the class files are in the jars; I've used Google to look for solutions - nothing helpful.

Anyone any ideas??

Thanks in advance

add Visual ICEfaces Framework to existing Woodstock Project should resolve this exception.

That's exactly what I did. Just like it says here:
http://facestutorials.icefaces.org/tutorial/woodstock/PortingGuidePart1.html

But it didn't work

I even found some code that might be causing the problem:
http://sventon.icefaces.org/svn/showfile.svn?name=repo&revision=16977&path=/icefaces/branches/icefaces-1.7/icefaces/core/src/com/icesoft/faces/context/DOMResponseWriter.java

105: public DOMResponseWriter(FacesContext context, DOMSerializer serializer, Configuration configuration, Collection jsCode, Collection cssCode) {
106: this.serializer = serializer;
107: this.configuration = configuration;
108: this.jsCode = jsCode;
109: this.cssCode = cssCode;
110: try {
111: this.context = (BridgeFacesContext) context;
112: } catch (ClassCastException e) {
113: throw new IllegalStateException(
114: "ICEfaces requires the PersistentFacesServlet. " +
115: "Please check your web.xml servlet mappings");
116: }
117: boolean streamWritingParam = configuration.getAttributeAsBoolean("streamWriting", false);
118: isStreamWritingFlag = Beans.isDesignTime() || streamWritingParam;
119: }

not likely to cause exception in this tutorial,

Please try to download the zip file and unzip it, open in NB 6.5.
http://facestutorials.icefaces.org/tutorial/woodstock/TwoPageCrudTable_Part1.zip

also, are you using IcePage1.iface URL mapping?

Sorry - I didn't explain myself very well.

I'm using the tutorial as a guide to migrate my code. Literally all I did (so far) was tell netbean to add the Visual IceFaces stuff reset the welcome page to be my one - compile it and deploy it. When I try to access a page I get the exception

I haven't even got to the "fun" part.

The servlet mappings look good to me:
Code:

     <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>Persistent Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>/xmlhttp/*</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>Persistent Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>*.iface</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>Persistent Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>

From the error message, it seems that client URL in the browser might be the cause

During the migration,

the old pages need to go the following URL:
ie
http://localhost/application/faces/Page1.jsp

the new created icefaces pages within the project need to go the following URL:
ie
http://localhost/application/IcePage1.iface

Give it a try and let me know if this resolve the exception.

enjoy,
Frank

I haven't got to creating any IceFaces pages yet. I wanted to keep the existing stuff working until I can get the time to migrate it.

I'm having the same problem, Did someone solve it ?
Thanks ..

add "Visual Web ICEfaces" framework to the existing Woodstock project will also create a new page possible named as IcePage.jsp.

the following URL should work:
http://localhost/application/IcePage1.iface

Let me if it failed.
Frank

One thing, a page with Woodstock works with ICE faces components in the same page ? Or must be one or another ?

Thanks ..

mixing components are not supported in 1,7,2 level. Migration is supported.

thanks

Adding the IceFaces framework simply makes the woodstock pages to not work anymore. There is something wrong with the Icefaces migration library.

Woodstock pages could still be viewed as
faces/Page1.jsp

If any problems, post a simple example.

From your libraries file sent over, the problems is that you create a project by selecting Woodstock and Visual Web ICEfaces Framework which is not supported.

Please use Visual Web ICEfaces Framework to add to the existing Woodstock Project.

You could create a Woodstock Visual Web Project first and add Visual Web ICEfaces Framework
