JavaServer Faces TagLibs
If you want to use JSF with your webapp, you should copy the relevant jars from your implementation of choice into your $JETTY_BASE
directory, ideally into $JETTY_BASE/lib/ext
.
If that directory does not exist, enable the ext
module, which will create the directory and ensure all jars within it are put onto the container classpath.
Then you will need to tell Jetty which of those jars contains the *.tld
files.
To accomplish that, you need to specify either the name of the file or a pattern that matches the name/s of the file/s as the org.eclipse.jetty.server.webapp.ContainerIncludeJarPattern
context attribute.
You will need to preserve the existing value of the attribute, and add in your extra pattern.
Here’s an example of using a context xml file to add in a pattern to match files starting with jsf-
, which contain the *.tld
files:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Jetty//Configure//EN" "https://jetty.org/configure_10_0.dtd">
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext"> (1)
<Call name="setAttribute"> (2)
<Arg>org.eclipse.jetty.server.webapp.ContainerIncludeJarPattern</Arg> (3)
<Arg>.*/jetty-servlet-api-[^/]*\.jar$|.*/javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-.*\.jar$|.*/org.apache.taglibs.taglibs-standard-impl-.*\.jar$|.*/jsf-[^/]*\.jar$</Arg> (4)
</Call>
</Configure>
1 | Configures a WebAppContext , which is the Jetty component that represents a standard Servlet web application. |
2 | Specifies a context attribute. |
3 | Specifies the name of the context attribute. |
4 | Adds the additional pattern .*/jsf-[^/]*\.jar$ to those already existing. |
