Problem with primefaces and facelets

Hi

I'm trying to port an IceFaces to primefaces, because there are some interesting components that I was missing in IceFaces. However, I'm facing quite a number of problems doing very simple tests:

The following code is working:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
	xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
	xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
	xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
	xmlns:p="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui">

<f:view>
	<head>
	<title>Test Page</title>
	<meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv="Content-Type" />
	<p:resources />
	</head>

	<body>
	<h:form>
		<p:editor></p:editor>
	</h:form>
	</body>
</f:view>
</html>

However, when I try to do the same with facelets, I always get a NullPointerException; if I use a non-primefaces tag in the ui:define, then it works; but whatever primefaces tag I use, I get the setProperties method on that tag throwing an exception. I also tried with and without the <p:resources/> in the head section, it doesn't change anything

I'm running on OS X, with Tomcat 6.0.26

Any help appreciated, since this is really a stopper for me

Regards

		<h:form id="form">
			<ui:insert name="mainbody">...</ui:insert>

The stacktrace:

have you tried <p:editor /> instead of <p:editor></p:editor>,
some browsers can't handle empty tags

Hi,

Welcome to PrimeFaces.

I think you are missing FaceletViewHandler configuration in faces-config.xml.

Code: Select all

<faces-config>
    <application>
        <!-- Enables Facelets -->
        <view-handler>com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler</view-handler>  
    </application>
</faces-config>
