Technologies: CDI, JSF, RichFaces
Summary: Similar to the helloworld quickstart, but with a JSF front end
Target Product: WildFly
Source: https://github.com/richfaces/as-quickstarts
This project demonstrates how to create a Java EE 7 compliant application using JSF 2.2, CDI 1.2, and RichFaces 4.5.
In this example, a standard JSF h:inputText
component is AJAX enabled using the RichFaces a4j:ajax tag
. This triggers the application server to re-render only a subsection of the page on a browser event.
All you need to build this project is Java 8 (Java SDK 1.8) or better, Maven 3.1 or better.
The application this project produces is designed to be run on JBoss WildFly.
If you have not yet done so, you must Configure Maven before testing the quickstarts.
For Linux: JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
For Windows: JBOSS_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
NOTE: The following build command assumes you have configured your Maven user settings. If you have not, you must include Maven setting arguments on the command line. See Build and Deploy the Quickstarts for complete instructions and additional options.
mvn clean package wildfly:deploy
This will deploy target/wildfly-helloworld-rf.war
to the running instance of the server.
The application will be running at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/wildfly-helloworld-rf/.
mvn wildfly:undeploy
You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For more information, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts
If you want to debug the source code or look at the Javadocs of any library in the project, run either of the following commands to pull them into your local repository. The IDE should then detect them.
mvn dependency:sources
mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc
