JetBrains released a new EAP (Early Access Program) for IntelliJ Idea 9 Codename Maia, namely Idea Ultimate Edition v 90:116 90:122.

he team from Sun/the JSF Expert Group released a page showing what you need to add to your pom.xml to include jsf-2 in your maven project.
Taken from https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/maven2, the required parts are:
If you use Glassfish v3 or higher:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | <dependency> <groupId>javax.faces</groupId> <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> |
If you use Tomcat or Jetty (or any other non JEE6 compliant Servlet Container):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId> <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId> <version>2.0.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId> <artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId> <version>2.0.0</version> </dependency> |
However, If you put the JBoss repository either in your pom.xml or your ~/.m2/settings.xml
1 2 3 4 5 | <repository> <id>jboss</id> <name>Jboss Maven Repository</name> <url>http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/</url> </repository> |
you can then use the following dependencies (which I think are more appropriate):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | <dependency> <groupId>javax.faces</groupId> <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId> <version>2.0.0-FCS</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.faces</groupId> <artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId> <version>2.0.0-FCS</version> </dependency> |
Also Sun provides some simple JSF-2 archetypes
While browsing through the Mojarra Sourcecode, I’ve found a interesting set of classes, all bundled around the keyword “Flash”:
./jsf-ri/systest/src/com/sun/faces/systest/FlashViewParamTestCase.java
./jsf-ri/systest/src/com/sun/faces/systest/FlashReaperTestCase.java
./jsf-ri/systest/src/com/sun/faces/systest/FlashReaperBean.java
./jsf-ri/systest/web/flash01.xhtml
./jsf-ri/systest/web/flash02.xhtml
./jsf-ri/systest/web/flashReaper.xhtml
./jsf-ri/src/com/sun/faces/context/flash
./jsf-ri/src/com/sun/faces/context/flash/FlashELResolver.java
./jsf-ri/src/com/sun/faces/context/flash/ELFlash.java
./jsf-ri/systest-per-webapp/flash/src/java/com/sun/faces/systest/FlashTestCase.java
./jsf-ri/systest-per-webapp/flash/web/flash7.xhtml
./jsf-ri/systest-per-webapp/flash/web/flash8.xhtml
./jsf-ri/systest-per-webapp/flash/web/flash2.xhtml
./jsf-ri/systest-per-webapp/flash/web/flash5.xhtml
./jsf-ri/systest-per-webapp/flash/web/flash4.xhtml
./jsf-ri/systest-per-webapp/flash/web/flash3.xhtml
./jsf-ri/systest-per-webapp/flash/web/flash6.xhtml
./jsf-api/src/main/java/javax/faces/context/Flash.java
When looking through the files, I found out, that the famous Flash-Scope of Ruby on Rails (my friend Peter told me about that scope in RoR about a year ago when we where doing stuff with JSF 1.2) got ported to JSF-2.
So, what you now basically can do, is to put an object into flash-scope in one request, e.g.:
<h:form id="nextForm" prependId="false">
<c:set target="#{flash}" property="foo" value="bar" />
....
</h:form>
(Taken from ./jsf-ri/systest/web/flash01.xhtml)
and retrieve it in the next request (but not the request after that one) simply by accessing it through EL
foo = ${flash.foo}
Also you can put objects into the flash scope in your controllers:
ELFlash.getFlash().put("key","value");
I know that looks quite dirty because one is polluting the controller with a Singleton, but when done right, you can still make your code perfectly testable š
The files you need to take a look at are:
Update: I found a blog post from Ed Burns about using the Flash Scope, although its still JSP based, it should also give a good introduction!
Martin Ahrer, one of Austrians JSF geniuses shows a way how to integrate PrimeFaces ToolTip component with conditional rendering, only when validation errors occurred.
Although I would have chosen a different approach
(mainly extending the already existent h:message tag), Martins way works quite nice.
Thanks Martin!
Recently (well about two weeks ago), I’ve created a patch to make the great PrimeFaces JSF-2 ready.
Cagatay Civici now made me a contributor of PrimeFaces.. thanks mate!
Hopefully the patch will soon be integrated into the 2.0 branch of PrimeFaces!
Wow! I can’t believe it!
JetBrains just announced, that upcomming IntelliJ Idea 9 will be made open source.
Eclipse and NetBeans now definitely have to fear “The most intelligent IDE” in the world!
Hooray at JetBrains!
So, after almost 5-6 years of Gmail usage with an @gmail.com address, I decided to go with my own domain and change to Google Apps = the REAL GMAIL.
So, I was wondering, if there is a way to migrate my stuff from the “Free Gmail” to the “Google Apps Gmail”, but my (initial) searches ended up with no result, so I did it my way:
This way, I converted nearly all (around 10 messages are missing, according to the “manage labels” view) my gmail-email to my google-apps gmail account. In case, I ever need those 10 mails, I still have my normal gmail account to look for them there.
Because finally someone showed interest in helping me with my Spring Security JSF 2.0 Taglib, I created my first project at Google Code.
The homepage of the project is still located on my server, but maybe I’ll move that too as soon as I find out how to do it.
Actually for a stupid flash game on facebook I was searching for a way to script mouse-movement and clicks on linus/X.org.
Happily, I found a tool that does exactly what I wanted:
It’s called “X Do Tool” or short xdotool . A simple make did it for me and I had my script ready.
First I tried to do clicking by
./xdotool mousedown 1 ; ./xdotool mouseup 1
( 1 is left, 2 middle, 3 right mouse button, according to your xorg.conf ), but then I found that a simple ./xdotool click 1 would also do it;
So for “cheating” at this stupid “who can click the most times in 30 seconds” game on facebook, simply open a console next to your browser, type
while true; do xdotool click 1; done
and depending on the speed of your x-server you get far more than 1000 clicks / 30 seconds. sadly they have some manipulation detection or something like that so you would have to add some “sleep xx” calls to your loop š
I’ve stopped playing around this while having reached around 480 clicks, being placed second after an aquaintance of mine.
Happy “cheating” š
Yeah, that rocks!
The guys from Caucho ported their PHP implementation in Java, named Quercus to the Google App Engine to allow it running on the cloud.
