JSF Portlet on Liferay 7 Wildfly bundle

[Oleksandr Druzhynin, modificado 7 Anos atrás.]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get working the JSF demo Portlet .
I have a fresh installation of Liferay 7 bundled with wildfly.
I checked out sources from https://github.com/liferay/liferay-faces-bridge-impl.git 4.x branch and built demo jsf-applicant-portlet project with maven :

mvn clean install  -P liferay,jboss

and deployed the resulting war file while getting the following exception stacktrace:

If I download jsf applicant portlet and deploy it, it works fine.
This is because necessary dependencies are bundled within a war file. But I want to use that dependencies provided by application server. How can I achieve it?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Oleksandr,

Try this:

mvn -P liferay,mojarra clean install

The jboss profile is meant for use with the liferay62 profile with JBoss AS 7, so it's not applicable for Liferay 7 and WildFly.

Kind Regards,

Neil

Thank you very much Neil, this works. I'm only starting to develop on Liferay and have yet no much experience with it.
The resulting war-file contains now jsf-api and jsf-impl in the javax.faces-2.2.13.jar dependency.
Similar, I had to add Weld CDI dependency to the pom.xml:

<dependency>
	<groupid>org.jboss.weld.servlet</groupid>
	<artifactid>weld-servlet</artifactid>
	<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

in order to get jsf-cdi-applicant Portlet working on wildfly.

But I still wondering, why is it necessary these dependencies to have compile or runtime scope?
I choose wildfly bundle for Liferay because it already have the full EE stack on board. Is it possible somehow to leverage such APIs and their implementations that are native on application server?
Wildfly have JSF and CDI modules in modules/system/layers/base:
JSF API: javax/faces/api
Mojarra: com/sun/jsf-impl
CDI API: javax/enterprise/api
Weld: org/jboss/weld/core

It would be nice to force Liferay to load these modules from application server instead of providing them every time within an own portlet.
The only question is - how?

Thank you and best Regards,
Oleksandr

Hi Oleksandr,

Versions of Liferay prior to version 7 relied on the out-of-the-box provision of Java EE technologies (JSF, CDI, etc.) by app servers like WildFly, GlassFish, etc..

Although Liferay 7 can be used in WildFly, it is based on OSGi which does not rely on those types of out-of-the-box features. Instead, the classpath is determined by OSGi bundle requirements.

We are currently working on ways of deploying Mojarra (JSF), Weld (CDI), and Liferay Faces Bridge as OSGi bundles, but we aren't there yet. As a transitional phase, you will need to include those jars in the WEB-INF/lib folder of your portlet applications.

Kind Regards,

Neil
