JoinFaces Example

This SAP (Single Page Application) illustrates JSF usage inside JAR packaged Spring Boot Application.

JoinFaces autoconfigures PrimeFaces, BootsFaces, ButterFaces, OmniFaces, AngularFaces, Mojarra and MyFaces libraries to run at embedded Tomcat, Jetty or Undertow.

If you prefer Jetty instead of Tomcat, change artifactId jsf-spring-boot-starter to jsf-jetty-spring-boot-starter in order to use Jetty servlet container.

If you prefer Undertow instead of Tomcat, change artifactId jsf-spring-boot-starter to jsf-undertow-spring-boot-starter in order to use Undertow servlet container.

If you prefer MyFaces instead of Mojarra, change artifactId jsf-spring-boot-starter to jsf-myfaces-spring-boot-starter in order to use MyFaces JSF Implementation.

If you prefer Jetty instead of Tomcat and MyFaces instead of Mojarra, change artifactId jsf-spring-boot-starter to jsf-jetty-mojarra-spring-boot-starter.

If you prefer Undertow instead of Tomcat and MyFaces instead of Mojarra, change artifactId jsf-spring-boot-starter to jsf-undertow-mojarra-spring-boot-starter.

Note that spring-boot-starter-security is included to secure the application.

src/main/resources/application.yml

Configure jsf.PROJECT_STATE and jsf.primefaces.THEME properties.

jsf:
  PROJECT_STAGE: Development
  primefaces: 
    theme: overcast

src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/content/starter.xhtml

Example page to help you choose the right JSF Spring Boot Starter for you.

Note that xhtml, js, css and images files should be located at src/main/resources/META-INF/resources directory to JSF use them.

Look at authorize and anonymous jsf spring security facelet tags in action to secure page information.

  <sec:authorize access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')">
    <p:panelGrid columns="1" rendered="#{sec:isFullyAuthenticated()}">
      <p:link title="Logout" href="/logout">
        <p:outputLabel value="You are logged in as an ADMIN" />
      </p:link>
    </p:panelGrid>
  </sec:authorize>

src/main/java/org/joinfaces/example/JoinFacesExampleApplication.java

Very simple spring main application. Only SpringBootApplication annotation is required.

@SpringBootApplication
public class JoinFacesExampleApplication {

src/main/java/org/joinfaces/example/SecurityConfig.java

Spring Security configuration class to secure authentication with credentials to persapiens and nyilmaz users.

src/main/java/org/joinfaces/example/view/StarterMBean.java
