POMaven tomcat:run goal and jsf annotation based component/converter/validator scanning
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm developing a JSF 2.0 application (Mojarra+Primefaces) and using the maven build environment. Before I have used the faces-config.xml file for registering of my custom converters and validators, everything went well so far. Then I saw some syntactic sugar of JSF 2.0 - the annotation based configuration approach. And now I would like to use it, instead of the xml config file. A problem was that Mojarra didn't scan my annotated classes. I figured out that I needed to put the <code><faces-config ... metadata-complete="false"></code> attribute to false. Now it works but only if I start my application with <a href="http://mojo.codehaus.org/tomcat-maven-plugin/plugin-info.html" rel="noreferrer"><code>mvn tomcat:run-war</code></a> goal and not with the <a href="http://mojo.codehaus.org/tomcat-maven-plugin/plugin-info.html" rel="noreferrer"><code>mvn tomcat:run</code></a> dynamic project, which is more comfortable for development. The specification of JSP 2.0 says that:</p> <blockquote> <p>If the element in the WEB-INF/faces-config.xml file contains metadata-complete attribute whose value is "true", the implementation must not perform annotation scanning on any classes except for those classes provided by the implementation itself. Otherwise, continue as follows.</p> <p>If the runtime discovers a conflict between an entry in the Application Configuration Resources and an annotation, the entry in the Application Configuration Resources takes precedence. All classes in WEB-INF/classes must be scanned.</p> <p>For every jar in the application's WEB-INF/lib directory, if the jar contains a "META-INF/faces-config.xml" file or a file that matches the regular expression ".*.faces-config.xml" (even an empty one), all classes in that jar must be scanned.</p> </blockquote> <p>But it says nothing about dynamic projects running in maven build environment :)! Do anyone has a solution for that problem?</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Kevin</p>
