We are attempting to deploy a plain-ol-JSF-app by exposing it in DXP using Liferay's PortalDelegateServlet. The PortalDelegateServlet requires an HttpServlet rather than a simple Servlet. Since FacesServlet implements javax.servelet.Servlet, rather than extending HttpServlet, we have to wrap the FacesServlet in an HttpServlet implementation and simply forward the init() and service() calls to the wrapped FacesServlet instance.
web.xml snippet:
================
<servlet>
<servlet-name>delegate</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet.PortalDelegateServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>servlet-class</param-name>
<param-value>com.excellus.faces.servlet.FacesServletWrapper</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>sub-context</param-name>
<param-value>faces</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>2</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>detail</param-name>
<param-value>2</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>validate</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE</param-name>
<param-value>Development</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.WEBAPP_RESOURCES_DIRECTORY</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/resources</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>delegate</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
If we write a response to the output stream in the FacesServletWrapper, the delegate -> wrapper setup works cleanly. We call http://localhost:8080/delegate/faces and get back the written response. But we need it to resolve xhtml facelet views using the FacesServlet implementation.
When we forward the service(req, resp) call to the wrapped facesServlet.service(req, resp) implementation, we get a 404 not found response. We have set the default view in the webapp in the web.xml like this:
web.xml snippet:
===================
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/views/view.xhtml</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
Though, in this configuration, I'm not sure that this will be used. Whether we call
http://localhost:8080/delegate/faces
or
http://localhost:8080/delegate/faces/views/view.xhtml
...a 404 is getting returned.
What am I missing to get the wrapped FacesServlet instance to resolve our views properly?
