How do I have to configure my project to see the spinner?
I think you should read the documentation for a spinner in Primefaces. Spinner is primarily used to increment/decrement the value of input text. You also need to create a bean defining the setter/getter for the values.
Do have a look https://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/input/spinner.xhtml
Just for reference:
<h:outputLabel for="basic" value="Basic Spinner: " />
<p:spinner id="basic" value="#{spinnerView.number1}" />
Hope it helps!!

PrimeFaces Barcode sample

I just tried to just copy-paste sample from PrimeFaces Showcase about Barcode.
Here is this code, and I get:
I just wanted to test it go get same effect as sample.

<p:barcode value="0123456789" type="postnet"/>
<h:outputText value="QR" />
<p:barcode value="0123456789" type="qr"/>
</p:panelGrid>
</h:body>
Have you add barcode4j and qrgen library into your dependency?
<dependency>
<groupId>net.glxn</groupId>
<artifactId>qrgen</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.barcode4j</groupId>
<artifactId>barcode4j-light</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
</dependency>
**barcode4j 2.1 does not exist in maven central repository so manual installation is necessary for
maven users
you need to add a jar file to your repository to let primefaces understand the component much better. You can get the jar from here http://www.barcodelib.com/java_barcode/barcode_symbologies. That is the "barcode4j-light version 2.1"

JBoss 7.1, JSF, RichFaces - rich components don't want to render

I'm learing RichFaces now for my JSF project, but i have problem with rendering rich components in my enviroment.
I have added RichFaces jar(all 4 jars from RichFaces page) to JBoss modules (E:\JBoss\modules\org\richfaces\main) with module.xml:
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.richfaces">
<resources>
<resource-root path="richfaces-components-api-4.2.1.Final.jar"/>
<resource-root path="richfaces-components-ui-4.2.1.Final.jar"/>
<resource-root path="richfaces-core-api-4.2.1.Final.jar"/>
<resource-root path="richfaces-core-impl-4.2.1.Final.jar"/>
<!-- Insert resources here -->

<module name="javax.xml.bind.api"/>
<module name="javax.xml.jaxp-provider"/>
<module name="com.google.guava"/>
</dependencies>
</module>
All dependencies were added to jboss modules by default configuration.
I created simple JSF page with RichFaces from tutorial:

Error occurs as soon as I add jboss-deployment-structure.xml to WEB-INF.
This looks like it's probably an issue with eclipse. It seems there are a few different questions along the same lines with eclipse and JSF. Most of them seem to say something this one does.
see following discussion on jboss forum
https://community.jboss.org/message/633025#633025
and search for the correnct answer
you should supply jboss7 specific deployment descriptor jboss_deployment_structure.xml to make richfaces module available to your application

JSF 2.0 not rendering any page

I’m a beginning Java EE programmer having troubles setting up my first “JSF 2.0” enabled application. I’m using the following technologies:
jdk1.6.0_24
MyEclipse 10.0
Glassfish 3.0.1
JSF 2.0
Problem: I couldn’t find a way to make my server parse and render JSF 2.0 pages. I followed various guides, (notably from stackoverflow.com) without success. My test pages are not rendered by Glassfish 3.0.1. I tried different approaches to fix my code including:
1 -> web.xml
1.1 -> edited header specifying JFS 2.0 HTML taglib attributes ( ..)

I could not upload a PRINTSCREEN of what is showed by browser, but tags are not rendered.
Question: what was my mistake? What should be done to make Glassfish application server render JSF 2.0 enabled pages correctly? I just need a simple JSF 2.0 template to setup my development environment and use as start point of JSF applications.
Thanks!
In contrary to what you're telling, the JSF page is correctly rendered. As per the obtained HTTP response, the generated HTML output looks all fine. All JSF tags are correctly parsed and rendered. If JSF did not render anything, then you would have seen exactly the original JSF source code in View Source.
Your concrete problem is that the browser is not displaying the generated HTML properly. This can happen when the Content-Type header is wrong. The Content-Type header tells the browser how to interpret the content. The behaviour is also browser dependent. If you for example serve a <DOCTYPE html ...> with a Content-Type of application/xhtml+xml to the MSIE browser, then it will go havoc and even pop a confusing Save As dialogue.
In your case, even though you didn't state the problem clearly, nor described the real response in detail, nor has shown a screenshot (even though on a different host), I think that your concrete problem is that all that HTML is displayed with a Content-Type of text/plain. I.e. you're literally seeing the entire HTML source code as browser response and you misinterpreted it as "JSF not rendering the response" while it's actually your browser who didn't render the retrieved JSF-generated HTML source into a visual representation.
The right Content-Type is by default set by the JSF implementation itself, but it can be overridden by the server or even a proxy (like Apache HTTPD) in the front, or by explicitly specifying it in the JSF source code. I'm not sure about the exact cause in your particular case, but the following should force JSF to send the response explicitly as text/html.
<f:view contentType="text/html">
Put at least h:body here.
</f:view>
You can examine the response headers in any modern web browser debugging tool. For example, in Firebug:
Unrelated to the concrete problem, your FacesServlet mapping should be more generic than alone this page, or you may run into trouble when serving resources like Ajax javascripts. I recommend *.xhtml. I also recommend to redo the configuration based on a more decent tutorial. You can find good tutorials in the bottom of our JSF wiki page.
