I was going through one of the books on JSF (JavaSever Faces - Introduction by Example) and I found the following excerpt
Prior to JSF 2.0, in order to enable the JSF servlet to translate the XHTML page, you needed to ensure that the
web.xml file contained a servlet element indicating the javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet class and its associated
servlet-mapping URL. Since the release of JSF 2.0, if using a Servlet 3.x container, the FacesServlet is automatically
mapped for you, so there is no requirement to adjust the web.xml configuration.
I decided to try it out, but did NOT work and getting 404 error.
web.xml

Prior to moving to Glassfish 4.x I already had this working on Tomcat 8.
The weird part is as soon as I uncomment the FacesServlet mapping in deployment desriptor everything works great and I do not get 404.
Is Glassfish 4.x a Servlet 3.x container?
Am I doing something wrong or are the book guidelines incorrect?

I'm trying to integrate Spring-Security 5.1.4.RELEASE in an already working JSF 2.2-Primefaces 6.1 APP in order to securize it.
When I try to access to the protected page "logged.xhtml" spring triggers and takes me to the login page "login.xhtml", so Spring seems to work fine.
The problem is that once I have configured Spring all Primefaces p:commandLink stop working (and some "Action" methods in other Primefaces components). The JSF Sun components ( xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" ) like "h:outputLink" continue working but a h:commmandButton with f:ajax fails too.
I don't see why the Primefaces components or the JSF ones with f:ajaxare broken...

This is my security initializer:

This is my security configuration:
#Configuration

public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override

auth.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser(User.withDefaultPasswordEncoder().username("admin").password("1234").roles("ADMIN").build());

.formLogin()
.loginPage("/login.xhtml").defaultSuccessUrl("/logged.xhtml").failureUrl("/error.xhtml")
.permitAll()
.and()
.logout().logoutUrl("/logout")
.permitAll();
}
}
EDIT:
After checking the browser console I see that every time I press any Primefaces link/button the following error appears:
XHR POST localhost:8080/springtest/index.xhtml [HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden 2ms]
I believe that there is a problem with the permissions but after reviewing my SecurityConfig file I don't see the problem.
The following line should restrict the access to the protected page:
.antMatchers("/logged.xhtml").authenticated()
And this line should allow ALL trafic in the rest of pages:
.anyRequest().permitAll()
What I'm doing wrong?
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

I want to answer this question in case someone else needs it:
When using TEMPLATES for composing a JSF page ALWAYS put the "csrf" token in every single form on it. It is not enough putting the token in one place.
<input type="hidden" name="${_csrf.parameterName}" value="${_csrf.token}" />
When I right click index.xhtml and go to "Run On Server" I get a 404 error.
Below I will show my web.xml, as well as some of the error messages I get. This is just a basic hello world app, nothing special yet.
My index.xhtml is in the webcontent folder.

This parameter tells MyFaces if javascript code should be allowed in
the rendered HTML output.
If javascript is allowed, command_link anchors will have javascript code
that submits the corresponding form.
If javascript is not allowed, the state saving info and nested parameters
will be added as url parameters.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Factories configured for this Application. This happens if the faces-initialization does not work at all - make sure that you properly include all configuration settings necessary for a basic faces application and that all the necessary libs are included. Also check the logging output of your web application and your container for any exceptions!
If you did that and find nothing, the mistake might be due to the fact that you use some special web-containers which do not support registering context-listeners via TLD files and a context listener is not setup in your web.xml.
A typical config looks like this;
<listener>

I am following the lab manual: Getting started with IBM Connections Cloud. Last updated November 19 2014 by Jan Smolenski.
After I have setup the project and run the server (step 109) and open the mysocial.webapp url I get the message:
Error 500: javax.servlet.ServletException: Filter [SBTFilter]: Could not find required filter class - com.ibm.sbt.util.SBTFilter.class
In the console I read:
[ERROR ] SRVE0321E: The [SBTFilter] filter did not load during start up.
How can I include the sbtfilter during startup? Should I import additional libraries from the SDK or alter my configuration?
I run the samples exactly as declared in the lab manual...
There is a sample project called social.helloworld.webapp. You can look at the following web.xml
https://github.com/OpenNTF/SocialSDK/blob/master/samples/j2ee/templates/social.helloworld.webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml

I've created a web application that opens up pages inside an iFrame on the main page. Each iFrame is viewable via a tab on the page and uses JSF2.2 with Mojarra view state beans to populate the page.
This works fine when I open up something under 10 tabs; but when I try to open up more, the beans that held the first pages are destroyed and get recreated when I make any calls to the bean thus losing any prior changes the user may have made.
I'm using Apache Tomcat 7 with Catalina, and this issue is happening on my XP and Windows Server 2008 machines.

I've also tried setting this environment variable thinking that it might be a memory limit on tomcat's end, but it didn't make a difference
set JAVA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
Any help would be appreciated!
You've there just a severe design error. To include server side page fragments, you're using 90's style iframes instead of true server side include components. Each iframe has its own view state and won't reuse the main document's view state. Just replace all those <iframe> things by <ui:include> and world should be well.

I am working on an assignment that is already built to some extent. It is a Spring 3.0 project with Spring Integration and Spring MVC. I see that in web.xml, the is defined and the name is associated to the DispatcherServlet class. But in /web-inf/ I don't see the Dispatcher-servlet.xml
when I looked at the spring documentation, I read that the Dispatcher-servlet.xml is mandatory.
The app is working fine. The jsp is fetched and the flow is as expected.But without the Dispatcher-servlet.xml, how is it working? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jan.
Eg: here is my web.xml definition. Over here my dispatcherservlet name is springController-servlet.xml which is placed in the web-inf folder.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>springController</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>springController</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Check yours and revert back. Spring requires a dispatcher servlet file.
