Get apache shiro to work in netbeans without maven - jsf

Question

I want to use apache shiro to secure my JSF application that I have made in netbeans. After adding shiro-core and shiro-web jar files to library and configuring web.xml and shiro.ini as follows I get an Error when deploying my application. I suppose it does not find the classes but I don't know what is missing.
web.xml
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.shiro.web.env.EnvironmentLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<filter>
<filter-name>ShiroFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.shiro.web.servlet.ShiroFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ShiroFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>ERROR</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
shiro.ini
[users]
admin = password
[urls]
/admin/** = authBasic

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Found the cause:
Shiro jars require slf4j jars (logging library).
I added slf4j-api-1.7.2.jar and slf4j-simple-1.7.2.jar to my (NetBeans) project library and it worked.

Answer 2

I am not familiar with glassfish, but I would expect a ClassNotFoundException if your classpath is messed up. If it's possible that glassfish would show this error in the event of the listener failing, then the issue is probably your filter configuration. The filter provided withshiro is authcBasic, not authBasic.

Answer 3

I was having the same problem to get Apache Shiro to work in a non-Maven project, so yesterday did a little search and found that you have to add extra libraries in order to make it work correctly, even if you already have the Shiro core and Shiro web.
These are the following:
commons-beanutils-1.9.2 commons-logging-1.2 slf4j-api-1.7.2 slf4j-simple-1.7.2
I was using Netbeans as my IDE and everything worked. You have to create the web.xml and shiro.ini, too.
Hope it helps someone in the future.
