ICEsoft.org Forums: ICEfaces, ICEmobile, ICEpdf

My crash happened when I was using gf 3.0 and icefaces 2.0-alpha. I was not working with the 1.8.2 version.

I too like visual design tools, but with netbeans 6.8 in place deployment makes it much less necessary. Simply save your work and refresh the web page and your changes will show up without losing your session. This is a far cry from vi.

I have tried using JBoss web tools with Richfaces and the problem it had was that the internal browser often didn't match what the page would like like when deployed, so you had to deploy anyway to see what your page would look like.

Also, Eclipse 3.5, Richfaces and JBoss Web Tools are likely 6 months from being ready. And when it does get here you are always going to have the problem of whether you should pay for the JBoss Studio or MyEclipse and then installing all the packages you need. With Netbeans and Icefaces you don't have any of those problems, it all just works.

This makes Icefaces on Netbeans a great solution for anyone who wants to get going NOW with JEE 6.

Also, the only reason I left Netbeans for a time was the shaky facelet support, and the lack of dependency auto completion that eclipse with seam provided, but with Netbeans 6.8, JEE6 and Weld that has been corrected.

BTW, I love the new configuration that is needed to get Icefaces up and running -- very simple. Great work!

I am attempting to use the new netbeans integration for 6.8 and icefaces 2.0 alpha-2, but I am getting the following error when I try to deploy:

SEVERE: WebModule[/tuition_web2]StandardWrapper.Throwable
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Application was not properly initialized at startup, could not find Factory: javax.faces.context.FacesContextFactory
at javax.faces.FactoryFinder$FactoryManager.getFactory(FactoryFinder.java:804)
at javax.faces.FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.java:306)
at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.init(FacesServlet.java:166)

I am only trying to run the simple welcomeIceFaces.xhtml page and nothing more.

Any thoughts?
