JSF - Deploy problems with Wildfly and Tomcat9 (web.xml and faces-config)

Question

Hello, everybody! Good morning.

I have a big problem that p/ me is bizarre. I have a little project here very simple, but I’m not getting up. When I run it from the entire project (right click - Run As - Run on Server), they give errors as if the settings were wrong. Here comes what I don’t understand.

My web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_4_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="4.0">

  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>home.xhtml</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <filter>
    <filter-name>Filter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>javax.servlet.Filter</filter-class>
  </filter>
  <context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.FACELETS_SKIP_COMMENTS</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
  </context-param>
</web-app>

My faces-config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faces-config xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_3.xsd"
    version="2.3">
    <lifecycle>
        <phase-listener>br.com.forumbrabo.util.Listener</phase-listener>
    </lifecycle>
</faces-config>

So far, everything seems ok. But access the . War of my project in the directories of Tomcat9 or Wildfly 21, they are different. In the case of web.xml, you are missing the tags <welcome-list> and consequently, <welcome-file>, and is added to tag <display-name>. Already in the case of faces-config, is without <lifecycle> and consequently without the <phase-listener>.

The result is that when I try to run wildfly, it gives Forbidden, forcing me to complete the URL with "/login.xhtml", or running the project from the xhtml file. When I try to run Omcat it’s even worse, because the project doesn’t run at all. Just when I start Tomcat, I see this on the Eclipse console:

Valew, you guys! The/

Edit: I recreated the project and the files are going normal p/the folders of the servers, but Tomcat is still dropping this error. I don’t understand why.

Answer 1

I solved it! Just created a filter with the following code:

package br.com.forumbrabo.util;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpFilter;

public class MyCustomFilter extends HttpFilter {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -1L;
    private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(MyCustomFilter.class.getName());

    public MyCustomFilter() {
    }

    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain)
            throws IOException, ServletException {
        super.doFilter(req, res, chain);
        log.info("filter Request");
    }

}

Then I replaced the default Filter in web.xml:

  <filter>
    <filter-name>myCustomFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>br.com.forumbrabo.util.MyCustomFilter</filter-class>
  </filter>

I just can’t say how good it is to replace the default filter with this one, if it is better to leave it there too... I’ll do some tests and something I’ll come back with the result. Valew! o/
