I'm trying to start a small JSF application with no success. Tried it on Glassfish but I had the following error (Trying to use CDI on Glassfish 4 results in javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable, identifier 'indexMB' resolved to null).
So I tried to migrate the application to the TomEE 1.5.2, but although display no error in the console, the page does not load the JSF components, as you can see in the image below:
Any help will be very useful.
Follow my setup and my files:
TomEE 1.5.2
Primefaces 3.5
commons-fileupload 1.3
commons-io 2.4

the page does not load the JSF components
The page is loading the components, otherwise there won't be a <input type="text" /> that comes from the <p:inputText id="user" value="#{indexMB.user}" /> in your Facelets code (along with other components). The problem seems to be in your #{bundle['<whatever>']} configuration. Note that this problem is not related to GlassFish nor TomEE at all, just about the internationalization configuration.
For JSF 2.x I followed the explanation from this Q/A: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4830669/1065197 and the link that provides more info: Internationalization in JSF with UTF-8 encoded properties files. Based in that tutorial I made a test application. In short:
Configure the bundle in your faces-config.xml
<application>
<locale-config>
<default-locale>pt_BR</default-locale>
<supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
<supported-locale>fr</supported-locale>
</locale-config>
<resource-bundle>
<!--
Here should be the full name of the package and the
name of the properties files with the i18n text.
Example (from a personal project):
edu.home.store.view.idioma.tienda
Where the properties files are:
edu.home.store.view.idioma.tienda_es.properties
edu.home.store.view.idioma.tienda_en.properties
-->
<!-- <base-name>edu.home.store.view.idioma.tienda</base-name> -->
<!-- assumming your file is directly posted in class folder -->
<base-name>i18n</base-name>
<!--
Name of the variable to use in Facelets files.
-->
<var>bundle</var>
</resource-bundle>
</application>
Create a #SessionScoped bean that will handle the locale to use in your pages.
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class LocaleBean implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 89794215646544L;
private Locale locale;
public LocaleBean() {
}
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
//give the default value here
locale = new Locale("pt_BR");
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(locale);
}
public Locale getLocale() {
return locale;
}
public String getLenguaje() {
return locale.getLanguage();
}
public void setLenguaje(String lenguaje) {
locale = new Locale(lenguaje);
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(locale);
}
}
Wrap all the content of your view using <f:view> and define the language to use. Preferably, this should go in the main template. Example:
<f:view locale="#{localeBean.locale}">
<!-- Your Facelets code goes here... -->
</f:view>
Apart from this problem, I highly recommend you to change the obviously autogenerated Faces Servlet mapping configuration from /faces/* to *.xhtml:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

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.
I have a problem with a simple web application in JSF 2.2, my managed bean is not solved and I got this error:
/greeting.xhtml #21,66 date="#{dukesBDay.yourBD}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'dukesBDay' resolved to null
This is my managed bean:
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class DukesBDay {
#EJB
private DukesBirthDayBean dukesBirthdayBean;
This is my greeting.xhtml:

I tried adding the name property to #ManagedBean:

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
#ManagedBean(name="dukesBDay")
#SessionScoped
public class DukesBDay {
but it doesn't work, still have the same error.
I tried mapping the managed bean in my faces-config:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>dukesBDay</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>firstcup.web.DukesBDay</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
but I get this error:
Unable to create managed bean dukesBDay. The following problems were found: - Bean or property class firstcup.web.DukesBDay for managed bean dukesBDay cannot be found
Why my DukesBDay is not solved? What's wrong?
Thanks
I solved restarting NetBeans and GlassFish Server.
I didn't add the name property to #ManagedBean:
package firstcup.web;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class DukesBDay {
and everything works, so it isn't necessary (according to naming convention, you can refer to the bean using the uncapitalized short name of the Class)
when you write #ManagedBean, you should also add the name property to that.
#ManagedBean(name="dukesBDay")
#sessionscoped
the other way to declare your managed bean is, using faceconfig.xml file.
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>dukesBDay</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>package.DukesBDay</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
If you don't specify dukesBDay along with #ManagedBean, it will be resolved to null.
I wrote a simple jsf web app on eclipse. My web app works fine when I run it on tomcat 7 server in eclipse. Now I am in the process of deploying it to a server host name = cheetah.arvixe.com.
to do this I have exported my web app as a war file and have unzipped this war file in the public_html folder of the arvixe server.
When I go to my website on my browswer, i get a blank page. When I look at the page source I see my index.xhtml with the jsf tags. I want to know why my page is not showing. Any ideas?

"My JSP 'index.jsp' starting page"? Please block/ignore/throwaway that tutorial you're reading now. It's only completely confusing you and teaching you bad practices.
As to your list of libraries:
Folloing are the library I included into web-inf/lib
jsf-api-2.0.3.jar
jsf-impl-2.0.3.jar
jstl-1.0.2.jar
primefaces-3.4.jar
First of all, the JSTL version is wrong. It should be at least JSTL 1.1 or preferably 1.2. The EL (expression language, those ${}/#{}) things would otherwise fail to work. Remove jstl-1.0.2.jar and put jstl-1.2.jar in place.
Further it looks okay. It only surprises me that you've more than 2 years old JSF API/impl versions while you've a fairly recent (less than 2 weeks) PrimeFaces version. I'd align those JSF API/impl versions as well to be the latest available. It's currently already at 2.1.13 (note: it's now composed of only one JAR file javax.faces.jar instead of two JAR files).
As to your web.xml:
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
This is declared conform Servlet 2.5 spec which is over 6 years old already. Are you sure that you're running such an outdated container? Given the presence of the JSF and JSTL libraries, I assume that you're using Tomcat. The current Tomcat version, 7.x, exist more than 2 years already and is Servlet 3.0 compatible. You should declare your web.xml to match the highest supported version of the target container.
<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">
Further, those javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD and javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX entries represent the default values already. Just get rid of them to minimize noise.
As to your login.xhtml:
<h:Form>
<h:PanelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="2">
Tag names are case sensitive. The <h:Form> and <h:PanelGrid> doesn't exist at all. It are <h:form> and <h:panelGrid>.
<CENTER>
While not immediately a problem, but this HTML element is deprecated since 1998 in favor of CSS. Also, seeing it in uppercased flavor instead of <center>, which is very typical for pre-90's HTML style, doesn't give me the impression that you're reading the most recent and right books/tutorials to learn web development. You should assure that your learning resources are up to date.
As to your index.jsp: this is completely useless. Remove it altogether. Just change your web.xml from
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
to
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>login.xhtml</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
and this way login.xhtml will show up as "home page" when you access / in your webbrowser. Note that you shouldn't and don't need *.jsf URL pattern anymore.

I am reposting here as I have had good luck on stackoverflow in the past (originally posted on JBoss user forum but did not receive any responses).
I have created the files exactly as in the example but when I click Next button on the first page, the next page does not get included (display does not change).
I should add that I have the same problem trying to get Max Katz model wizard example described here:
http://mkblog.exadel.com/2010/06/richfaces-wizard-inside-modal-panel/
I am having same issue in IE8 and Chrome.
Note: I've also tried adding <redirect/> to the navigation-rules and when I click Next button then entire portlet goes to a blank page.
Is there any help in debugging this? I turned up log4j to DEBUG but don't see any hints as to what is wrong.
The other difference is that we use Spring.

I think there can be problem with three last params in your web.xml. They'r known to cause problems with AJAX (I also had these problems). There is only little documentation about these params. Although I found this comments about them:
<!-- Undocumented, so using "default"...(should be used in conjunction with following 2 parameters)
<context-param>
<param-name>com.sun.faces.IS_SAVE_BINDINGS_STATE</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>

BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE:
Idea behind using buildBeforeRestore is to restore the view even if the associated session
has expired and thereby avoiding the ViewExpiredException.
Setting it to true, Facelets can build view before request processing
instead of state saving. But this will cause some other issues.
RECREATE_VALUE_EXPRESSION_ON_BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE:
In JSF 1.2 with Facelets, you can reduce the memory overhead by not saving
the ValueExpressions. But for this you also need to set
the BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE to true, which can cause unpredictable behaviour
for the components.
This paramS from facelets is notorious for breaking some of the Ajax components.
Seen with Richfaces Ajax4jsf. There isn’t any documented work around for this.
Hence explicitly turn both BUILD_BE… and RECREATE… to false.

And source of this knowledge:
http://code.google.com/p/java-education/source/browse/trunk/JPA-Spring-JSF/CZU-PEF-DataModelling/web-gui/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml?spec=svn200&r=200
So I suggest commenting out this from your web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>facelets.BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>facelets.RECREATE_VALUE_EXPRESSION_ON_BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>facelets.RESOURCE_RESOLVER</param-name>
<param-value>com.CustomResourceResolver</param-value>
</context-param>
Hope it will be of any help.
