Error loading theme, cannot find "font-awesome.css" resource

[pitupitu]

Hello, tried to use 5.1.1 font-awesome feature. I've set in my app primefaces.FONT_AWESOME context param to true and got exception:

Code: Select all

Error loading theme, cannot find "font-awesome.css" resource of "primefaces/fa" library

viewId=/auth/login.xhtml
location=[path]\auth\login.xhtml
phaseId=RENDER_RESPONSE(6)

Caused by:
javax.faces.FacesException - Error loading theme, cannot find "font-awesome.css" resource of "primefaces/fa" library
at org.primefaces.renderkit.HeadRenderer.encodeCSS(HeadRenderer.java:138)

Is there anything else that should be done to get font-awesome feature working?
thanks

Tomcat 7.0.56, MyFaces 2.2.5, PrimeFaces 5.1.1

Showcase is working and just checked, the file is there. Not sure what the problem is right now. What happens when you add;

<h:outputStylesheet library="primefaces" name="fa/font-awesome.css" />

Adding outputSheet hasn't changed anything. Still the same problem.

OK. I have debug a little bit and found the solution. This is a MyFaces issue. It doesn't allow slashes in library names ("primefaces/fa").
There's a parameter org.apache.myfaces.STRICT_JSF_2_ALLOW_SLASH_LIBRARY_NAME where this behaviour can be changed. Default value is false.
Change the parameter to true and have fun with PF font-awesome feature working.

Thanks for sharing the solution.

Fixed for 5.1.2, it should work without this setting as well.

Great. Thanks.

Just to clarify this:

Thats a correct behavior and specified in the JSF API. Therfore it's NOT a MyFaces bug.
Mojarra just allows both.
As already mentioned, in MyFaces you can also allow slashes in the library via: org.apache.myfaces.STRICT_JSF_2_ALLOW_SLASH_LIBRARY_NAME

and what is the advantage of including font-awesome instead of just creating a maven dependency on it?

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.w ... some/4.2.0

includes a jsf ready version with correct src url's etc..... No need to redo this...

I think it's promotion
