JSF 1.2 on Google App Engine

Seems like this guy has got it working. I'll have to try it when I get time.

Work sucks ;)

JSF and RichFaces on Google App Engine

A previous commenter noted that JBoss' RichFaces (Ajax4JSF) didn't work for them. I had a plan to use that so I initiated a simple test.

In fact, all I had to do was included the RichFaces 3.1.6SR1 jars and it blew up straight away with the following error:

org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener initFaces: Error initializing ServletContext
javax.faces.FacesException
 at javax.faces.FactoryFinder.newFactoryInstance(FactoryFinder.java:194)
 at javax.faces.FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.java:140)
...
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax.imageio.ImageIO is a restricted class. Please see the Google App Engine developer's guide for more details.
 at com.google.apphosting.runtime.security.shared.stub.javax.imageio.ImageIO.<clinit>(ImageIO.java)
 at org.ajax4jsf.resource.ResourceBuilderImpl.<clinit>(ResourceBuilderImpl.java:110)

Oh well, scrap that.

If you are interested in using RichFaces on GAE, then register a vote here and get Google to lift some of the restrictions on what classes can be used.

JSF on Google App Engine with Facelets

Having tried JSF on Google Java App Engine, how about Facelets and JSF?

Works OK with MyFaces 1.1, see here for a test.
