Problem
My page renders all elements correctly. For example h:selectOneMenu and so on. But it seems that my Managed Bean is never instantiated as i don't see output on the console nor does the page render the content of foo.
I've read some other questions on SO:
Bean not instantiated - I don't beans.xml at all, I think.
JSF 2 managed bean does not get instantiated - I only have one ManagedBean which is referenced.
JSF Managed bean in jar not instantiated - My structure should be fine.
Does anyone know about issues with SessionScope maybe?
Is there something I'm missing? Or do I have to provide more, like the app-structure after deployment, more code, screenshots?

As it is #ViewScoped bean you have to implement Serializable as the implementation may decide to serialize session or view scoped beans whenever there is a need for that.
#ManagedBean(name="portal")
#ViewScoped
public class Portal implements Serializable{
In theory the NonSerializableException should occur only during the serialization itself, but maybe your environment set-up prevents the creation itself.
Anyway all your #SessionScoped / #ViewScoped should be marked like that by definition anyway.

Try using #javax.inject.Named instead of #ManagedBean.

Can anybody find what mistake I have done here?
RichFaces 3.x and JSF 2 works fine. I'm using JSF 2.2 and RichFaces 3.3.4.Final.
You need to disable built-in JSF 2 facelets and add dependency on old jsf-facelets 1.1.15 (as per https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/RichFaces333andJSF20).
However, keep in mind that Mojarra has a bug when it looks for DISABLE_FACELET_JSF_VIEWHANDLER instead of javax.faces.DISABLE_FACELET_JSF_VIEWHANDLER as per specification.

JSF tag haven't been renderd in xhtml page [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
JSF returns blank/unparsed page with plain/raw XHTML/XML/EL source instead of rendered HTML output
(1 answer)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm a newer to JSF.Currently I met a problem when I start a JSF project.My IDE is eclipse,I created a xhtml as follow:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<h:body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Username: <h:inputText id="username" /> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password: <h:inputSecret id="password" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</h:body>
</html>
Finally,the page in broswer just display Username and Password without input text box,it seem all tag with h: prefix dosen't work.

However when an exception happens the user is just redirected to the default 500 error page.
The redirection will only work if I move error pages out of the WEB-INF folder
/WEB-INF/pages/errors/pageNotFound.xhtml --> /pages/errors/pageNotFound.xhtml
But this would mean that the error page can now be accessed directly. But in the Omnifaces showcase this should be possible. I don't know what I am missing please help...
Here is the web.xml of the Omnifaces showcase that shows that error pages in the WEB-INF is possible.

Showcase shows that it should be possible.
I need help....
Thank you for your time
EDIT
It seems that "Redirect to error pages work if outside the WEB-INF." is not always true.
This error page will be displayed if outside of WEB-INF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:body>
<h1>#{"XXXXXXXX"}</h1>
</h:body>
</html>
This error page will not be displayed even if outside of WEB-INF. This Will result in the default 404 Page
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:body>
<h1>ZZZZZZZZZ</h1>
</h:body>
</html>
It seems that the FacesExceptionFilter is actually working if I place an EL expression or jsf component on the jsf page.
For some reason this error page will not work and will produce The default 404 page.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:body>

</h:body>
</html>
However this error page will work.

JSF sample project managed beans error, unable to print managed beans message to html

I started to implement a very basic JSF application but i am unable to print the JSF Managed Beans message to html..
Here is my code :
HelloWorld.java :
package com.project.managedbeans;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
#ManagedBean(name="helloWorld", eager=true)
#RequestScoped
public class HelloWorld {
private String message;
public HelloWorld(){
System.out.println("Hello World Managed Bean is created");
}
public String getMessage(){
return "Hello World ! ";
}
public void setMessage(String message){
this.message = message;
}
index.html :

and when i run the application on apache server, the page i see under
localhost:8080/jsfSampleProject/ is :
#{helloWorld.message}
I have JSF 2.1 Mojorra under Libraries tab. What do you think the problem is ?
Thanks.
The problem is that welcome file list accepts file names that are physically present in your web app, and that is index.xhtml. Note that none of your welcome files match that condition.
Next, your file is not handled by the FacesServlet. That is, requested URL does not correspond to the servlet URL mapping in your web.xml. Note that your mapping *.jsf doesn't match your requested files as well.
All in all, the following excerpt from web.xml will solve your problem:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<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>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Of course, you'll need the file index.xhtml at the root of your web application.

ViewState grows after each request with ICEfaces

I tried to create a simple web app using ICEfaces and encountered a problem.
Here is the web page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">
<h:head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>test</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:commandButton value="Action" action="#{test1.action}" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
Here is the backing bean:
#ManagedBean(name = "test1")
#SessionScoped
public class Test1 {
public Test1() {
}
public void action() {
System.out.println("action invoked");
}
}
And here is web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
<display-name>regconf</display-name>
<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>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE</param-name>
<param-value>Production</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.FACELETS_REFRESH_PERIOD</param-name>
<param-value>1</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext</param-name>
<param-value>resources.application</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<description>State saving method: 'client' or 'server' (=default). See JSF Specification 2.5.2</description>
<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>client</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener</listener-class>
</listener>
</web-app>
The problem is that the size of the ViewState is large (checked with Firebug) and it grows each time I click "Action" button. After first request it is 32 KB, after second 61 KB, then 94 KB, 128 KB etc. (seems to me like it always saves the state of the previous request).
The behaviour changes when I set the value of javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD param to server - in this case all works fine and the ViewState remains small after each request (checked it on the server side using StateManager).
I'm using Mojarra 2.1.12 (also tried MyFaces - same result), ICEfaces 3.1.0 and Tomcat 7.0.29.
Thanks in advance.
ICEfaces requires server side state saving, so you should set the following:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>server</param-value>
</context-param>
