Cannot load WEB-INF from browser - jsf-2

I start test my app with primefaces and spring integration but I stop on p:commandButton component. When I click on it, I want show p:growl popup component like here, but unfortunately page is redirect to view in location /WEB-INF/WEB-INF/intro.xhtml (but view is located in /WEB-INF/intro.xhtml) with error of 'resource not found'. May be some one know the problem? I download some example project from GIT and then get the same problem. I change some view code in
/springmvcfacelets/src/main/webapp/templates/maintemplate.xhtml
and paste code from primefaces
<h:form>
<p:growl id="growl" life="2000" />
<p:commandButton value="Ajax Submit" id="ajax" update="growl" actionListener="#{buttonView.buttonAction}" styleClass="ui-priority-primary" />
<p:commandButton value="Non-Ajax Submit" id="nonAjax" actionListener="#{buttonView.buttonAction}" ajax="false" />
<p:commandButton value="With Icon" id="withIcon" actionListener="#{buttonView.buttonAction}" update="growl" icon="ui-icon-disk" />
<p:commandButton actionListener="#{buttonView.buttonAction}" id="iconOnly" update="growl" icon="ui-icon-disk" title="Icon Only" />
<p:commandButton value="Disabled" id="disabled" disabled="true" />
to body in view. Bean was also added and registered.
View code:

This has nothing to do with primefaces neither the commandbutton component.
You simply can't access files located in the WEB-INF directory using browser. It would be security bug. Web-Inf would be good for loading integrated tempates using <ui:include> (for example) or for storing your configuration (faces-config.xml, web.xml, app-context.xml ...).
Move your file to any other webapp directory excluding web-inf and change the submit result (where page goes, either from form action or from bean) and let us know the result.

Problem was in web.xml(missing appropriate path for JSF) file and in code of the view.

Composite method do not resolve parameter if in template

it's a bit similar to this problem https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11469
I have a template containing a composite defined like this:
<h:form id="transfer_list">
<ccs:criteriaPanel header="Critère de recherche"
filterAction="#{controller.filter()}">
<form:criteriaForm bean="#{controller.transferCriteria}"
rendered="#{! empty controller.transferSearchForm}"
mode="UPDATE"
controller="#{controller}" />
</ccs:criteriaPanel>
</h:form>
Controller is defined with a ui:param in the template child.
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
template="/pages/transfer/transferList.xhtml">
<ui:param name="controller" value="#{transferListOpenController}" />
</ui:composition>
Here is the composite impl (criteriaPanel):
<cc:interface>
<cc:attribute name="header" default="#{i18n['HEADER_SEARCH_CRITERIA']}" />
<cc:attribute name="filterAction" method-signature="java.lang.Object filter()" />
<cc:attribute name="update" default="#(.ui-datatable)" />
</cc:interface>
<cc:implementation>
<div id="#{cc.clientId}">
<p:panel header="#{cc.attrs.header}" toggleable="true">
<cc:insertChildren />
<f:facet name="footer">
<p:commandButton id="search_btn"
value="#{i18n['BUTTON_FILTER']}"
action="#{cc.attrs.filterAction}"
icon="ui-icon-search"
update="#{cc.attrs.update}" />
<p:commandButton value="#{i18n['BUTTON_CLEAR_FILTER']}"
action="#{cc.attrs.filterAction}"
process="#this"
immediate="true"
update="#{cc.attrs.update}">
<p:ajax update="#form" resetValues="true" />
</p:commandButton>
</f:facet>
<p:defaultCommand target="search_btn" />
</p:panel>
</div>
</cc:implementation>
Clicking on the button "filterAction" result into this:
javax.faces.FacesException: #{cc.attrs.filterAction}:
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable, identifier
[controller] resolved to null at
com.sun.faces.application.ActionListenerImpl.processAction(ActionListenerImpl.java:118)
at
org.primefaces.application.DialogActionListener.processAction(DialogActionListener.java:45)
at javax.faces.component.UICommand.broadcast(UICommand.java:315)
I use Tomcat 8.5 for this and Mojarra 2.2.13. It works if I don't put the whole thing in a composite component (criteriaPanel)
UPDATE
Sample available here: https://github.com/Rapster/primefaces-test/tree/issue-sof-45834296
Works fine with MyFaces 2.2.11 and Mojarra 2.2.8-23 and 2.3.2 (I don't know how impactful upgrading to 2.3 can be though...) From what I read here https://stackoverflow.com/a/42656386/4605161, Mojarra 2.2.8 is aimed for WebLogic but it seems I will need this one (and i'm running on Tomcat)
WORKAROUND
Writing this make it work (but that's a workaround i'd rather use template):
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<ui:param name="controller" value="#{testView}" />
<ui:decorate template="/template.xhtml">
</ui:decorate>
</ui:composition>
Funny thing is if I put ui:param inside ui:decorate I'll end up with the same exception
Should be fixed in 2.2.15, see github.com/javaserverfaces/mojarra/issues/4271

When placed in ui:composition, p:submenu fades out on click of p:megaMenu and aren't clickable on mouseover

I use the p:megaMenu for menus. p:megaMenu well work without using <ui:composition>.
When i use the p:megaMenu in <ui:composition> , the submenu doesn't work well. When click the megamenu the submenu are faded out and when mouseover the submenu, the menu are faded in and can't click. Why?
Somebody answer me plz.
Here is my page
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:form id="menuForm" >
<p:megaMenu autoDisplay="false">
<p:menuitem value="Dashboard" action="dashboard" ajax="false" immediate="true" />
<p:submenu label="home" >
<p:column>
<p:submenu label="Survey Question">
<p:menuitem value="Survey Question" action="manageSurveyQuestion" ajax="false" immediate="true" />
</p:submenu>
</p:column>
</p:submenu>
</p:megaMenu>
</h:form>
</ui:composition>
Is there any template file? It is missing template in ui:composition tag.
<ui:composition .... template="/yourtempalte.xhtml">
<ui:define name="xxxx"> <--- It is optional
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>

PrimeFaces: commandButton's validateClient attribute's behaviour

In the following simple faces page, I am trying to instruct JSF to NOT to validate the input fields.
<?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:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:body>
<h:form id="createPatientForm_id">
<p:panelGrid columns="3">
<p:outputLabel value="First Name" />
<p:inputText id="firstNameInput_id" label="First Name" required="true" requiredMessage="First Name is required"/>
<p:message for="firstNameInput_id"/>
</p:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton value="Submit" ajax="false" validateClient="false" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
When I click on the 'Submit' button, validation does occur. Screen shot below:
I know I have configured required="true". But, shouldn't the validation be skipped as I have also specified validateClient="false"?
What am I missing here?
You need to use immediate="true", perhaps in addition to the Primefaces specific validateClient. Odds are you have disabled client side validation, but not the server side.

Primefaces 3.4.2 javascript error

I'm developing a web application using the 3.4.2 version of Primefaces. I have a p:pickList on it. Application is working using a general template and each page replaces the general_content of the template, which is being reloaded for every request. My problem is that the picklist is not working (cannot interact with it) because some JavaScript error happens when I load the page. This is my xhtml:
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
template="/templates/general_template.xhtml">
<ui:define name="metadata">
<f:metadata>
<f:viewParam id="user" name="user"
value="#{navegableUserData._ParamUser}" />
<f:viewParam id="NavIndex" name="NavIndex"
value="#{navegableUserData._QueueIndex}" />
<f:event type="preRenderView"
listener="#{navegableUserData.initialize}" />
</f:metadata>
<h:message for="user" />
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="general_content">
<h:form id="SystemUserForm">
<p:pickList id="rolePickList" value="#{navegableUserData._ListRoles}"
var="role" itemValue="#{role}" converter="rolConverter">
<f:facet name="sourceCaption">
<h:outputText value="#{msg.AVAILABLE}" />
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="targetCaption">
<h:outputText value="#{msg.ASSIGNED}" />
</f:facet>
<p:column>
<h:outputText value="#{role._Nombre}" />
</p:column>
</p:pickList>
</h:form>
</ui:define>
This is the JavaScript error I have:
Firebug in Firefox
Firebug is telling me the element 'a' cannot be found in the first line of primefaces.js
"a is undefined"
PrimeFaces={escapeClientId:function(a){return"#"+a.replace(/:/g,"\\:")},

It looks like some jquery is failing. With the previous version of Prime, 3.4.1, everything is working fine.
p:pickList (primefaces v3.4.2) requires itemLabel to be specified.
Just add
itemLabel="#{role}"
to your p:pickList

Primefaces lightBox closes at click on commandLink

It's just a simple Primefaces lightBox I want to use commandLinks in. Unfortunately it simply closes, when I click a commandLink. Is there a way to keep the lightBox open?
Here an example of what my code looks like:
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui" template="template.xhtml">
<ui:define name="content">
<p:lightBox>
<h:outputLink value="#">
<h:outputText value="open lightbox" />
</h:outputLink>
<f:facet name="inline">
<h:form>
<h:commandLink>
commandLink
</h:commandLink>
</h:form>
</f:facet>
</p:lightBox>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
Use an ajax (asynchronous) request instead of a synchronous request:
<h:commandLink ...>
<f:ajax ... />
</h:commandLink>
or as you're using PrimeFaces already, just use <p:commandLink> instead (it uses by default already ajax):
<p:commandLink ... />
With ajax, by default no fresh page replacement with the response is performed (which basically "resets" anything to defaults). You can in case of <f:ajax> tell by render attribute which parts of the component tree should be updated in the client side and in <p:commandLink> by the update attribute. E.g. if you want to render/update the parent form only, use #form. E.g.
<p:commandLink ... update="#form" />
