Using Prime Faces 3.3.1 Wizard


This is the first time I am using prime 3.3.1 with JSF 2.1. I have all the necessary jars for prime faces and I am using the Wizard from their website https://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/panel/wizard.xhtml.

Here is my code:

wizard.xthml:

</div>

UserWizard.java:

package com.verisign.vcc.program.marketing.mbean;

import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;

import org.primefaces.event.FlowEvent;

public class UserWizard
{
    private boolean skip;

    public void save(ActionEvent actionEvent)
    {
        // Persist user
    }

    public boolean isSkip()
    {
        return skip;
    }

    public void setSkip(boolean skip)
    {
        this.skip = skip;
    }

    public String onFlowProcess(FlowEvent event)
    {
        if (skip)
        {
            skip = false; // reset in case user goes back
            return "confirm";
        }
        else
        {
            return event.getNewStep();
        }
    }
}

When I access the wizard.xhtml I am getting the wizard with no styles.

wizard.xhtml

But here is how it is in the prime faces website:

Prime Faces Website wizard.xhtml

Could you please tell me what am I missing?


Solution

  • The problem is that you're using invalid Facelets markup. You shouldn't use a normal html div tag and stick namespace declarations in it.

    For this purpose you should either use a page starting with html having h:head and h:body tags in it or use ui:composition for templating.

    In the example below, JSF resources and PrimeFaces themes will be added properly.

    • XHTML page

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
      <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
            xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
            xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
            xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
            xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
      
      <h:head>
      </h:head>
      
      <h:body>
      <!-- your code here -->
      </h:body>
      
      </html>
      

    I hope it helps.
