Summary

Run JSF and PrimeFaces from a Grails 3 application

Getting Started

This plugin has not yet been submitted to the Grails repository. For now you will need to install the plugin to your local repository.

./gradlew install

Then add this dependency to your project:

    compile "net.prominic.grails.plugins:grails3-primefaces-plugin:0.2"

To run with the default Tomcat container, you will also need to add these WEB-INF files:

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml:

<?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_2.xsd"
    version="2.2">

    <!-- required for grails3-primefaces plugin -->
    <application>
        <el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
    </application>

</faces-config>

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.0"
         metadata-complete="true"
         xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">



    <!-- Required for grails3-primefaces plugin -->
    <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>*.faces</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>


</web-app>

Dependencies

This plugin was written and tested on Grails 3.3.6.

Usage

To generate the beans, use this command:

./grailsw run-command pf-generate-all mypackage.MyDomain

This will generate the following files:

  • grails-app/services/mypackage/MyDomainService.groovy
  • src/main/groovy/mypackage/beans/MyDomainManageBean.groovy (the ManagedBean is called "myDomainMB")
  • src/main/groovy/mypackage/beans/MyDomainLazyDataModel.groovy

To allow the new beans to work, you will need to add the new package to the grails.plugins.primefaces.beans.packages property in grails-app/conf/application.yml.

grails:
    plugins:
        primefaces:
                beans:
                   packages: mypackage.beans

You can then define .xhtml files to reference these beans in:

src/main/webapp
