The HelloWorld example of JSF 2.2 with Myfaces

I just did by myself create a very simple app "HelloWorld" of JSF 2.2 with a concrete implementation Myfaces that we can use it later on for our further JSF trying out. I attached the source code link at the end part. Just follow these steps below:

1. Create a Maven project in Eclipse (Kepler) with a simple Java web application archetype "maven-archetype-webapp". Maven should be the best choice for managing the dependencies, so far. JSF is a web framework that is the reason why I chose the mentioned archetype for my example.

2. Import dependencies for JSF implementation - Myfaces (v2.2.10) into file pom.xml. The following code that is easy to find from http://mvnrepository.com/ with key words "myfaces".

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
 <artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId>
 <version>2.2.10</version>
 </dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
 <artifactId>myfaces-impl</artifactId>
 <version>2.2.10</version>
</dependency>

3. As any other web frameworks, we need to configure for JSF stuffs in file web.xml, follow this http://myfaces.apache.org/wiki/core/user-guide/getting-started/configuring-myfaces.html

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  
 xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
 xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" 
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" 
 version="2.5">
 
 <!-- JSF mapping -->
 <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>
  
  <!-- welcome page -->
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

4. Create a Managed Bean by Java classes and  use JSF tags in index.xhtml for testing

Java code:

package vn.nvanhuong.jsf_myfaces;

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;

@ManagedBean(name = "helloBean")
public class HelloManagedBean {
 
 public HelloManagedBean() {
  this.greeting = "Hello JSF - Myfaces";
 }

 private String greeting;

 public String getGreeting() {
  return greeting;
 }

 public void setGreeting(String greeting) {
  this.greeting = greeting;
 }
}

XHTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
 <h:head>
  <title>JSF - Myfaces Example</title>
 </h:head>
 <h:body>
  <h:outputText value="#{helloBean.greeting}"/>
 </h:body>
</html>

5. Run the application on server Tomcat (v7.0)

http://localhost:8080/jsf_myfaces/

[Snippet] CSS - Child element overlap parent




























I searched from somewhere and found that a lot of people says a basic concept for implementing this feature looks like below:  HTML code:  <div id="parent">  <div id="child">   </div> </div>  And, CSS:  #parent{   position: relative;   overflow:hidden; }  #child{   position: absolute;   top: -1;   right: -1px; }   However, I had a lot of grand-parents in my case and the above code didn't work. Therefore, I needed an alternative. I presumed that my app uses Boostrap and AngularJs, maybe some CSS from them affects mine. I didn't know exactly the problem, but I believed when all CSS is loaded into my browser, I could completely handle it.      www.tom-collinson.com    I tried to create an example to investigated this problem by Fiddle . Accidentally, I just changed: position: parent;  to position: static;  for one of parents -> the problem is solved.  Look at my code:   <div class="modal-body dn-placeholder-parent-positi...

Selenium - Use Explicit Waits for checking elements quickly disappear like loading icon




























  I have a table that is displayed a list of competence groups. When I click on a competence group, it will display a table that contains a lot of criteria belong to the competence group. Each times I click on a competence group, a "loading" icon is displayed while waiting for all criteria is fully displayed.   <div id="loading" style="display: none;"> <div></div> <div></div>   I tried to write a Selenium test to make sure this behavior is covered. I saw that the loading icon element is always available on DOM tree because I just used Jquery to handle its displaying. Beside that, the loading icon is appeared dynamically and quickly disappear afterwards. It is hard to checking the visibility on GUI of loading icon. By normal way that I frequently used, the code looks like:     public boolean isLoadingIconDisplayed() {   List<WebElement> loadingIcons = driver.findElements(By.id("loading"));   if(!loadingIcons.isE...

How to apply Lean - Kanban for your business




























This is the topic of Scrum Breakfast meetup  this time, speaker: Ms. Phuong Bui - Technical Project Manager of YOOSE Pte. Ltd.      http://www.meetup.com/Scrum-Breakfast-Vietnam-Agile-and-Scrum-Meetup/events/230313727/   Lean comes from Lean manufacturing  is a method that focuses on elimination of wastes. In other words, this is a set of principles for archiving the quality, speed and customer alignment. The first time I knew about the term "Lean" is  from the book Software Craftsmanship . Sandro recommends if we want to transform our pet projects into a real business, we should get familiar with Lean Startup concepts.   In this talk, Ms. Phuong pointed out some major wastes includes information (ex: unclear requirements), processes (ex: waiting), physical environment and people. Knowing what the problems should be the best way to eliminate them.   The difference between  Single item flow  and Batch processing is the second main point; and it is the Lean's idea. Batch pr...

git cherry-pick [commit]




























  Customer Needs  My team already had a go-live app in a customer environment some months ago. We have been developing some new features for our next milestone. The situation is described in the picture below:      We used Git for our codebase management. The go-live app running on our customer environment was at version ` v1 `. The latest sprint release was at version ` v7 ` for our developing app.   Our customers wanted to have two separated release packages for our current sprint release. We all know that it was easy to ship the package to the developing app. However, the issue was that how we just picked some features needed for the go-live app. We called this package was a hotfix.   Git Cherry-Picking  Fortunately, we found that Git provided a way to achieve this task. Actually, we had all commits on the branch ` master ` already. We created a new branch called ` hotfix/v1.1 ` and we traced back which commits needed. We used cherry-picking for merging these commits to this branch....
