Migrating from facelets 1.1 to faclets 2.0 - FaceletViewHandler - jsf-2

Question

I have read the following post which was very helpful
Migrating from JSF 1.2 to JSF 2.0
but I am having a problem with the migration as I have a custom view handler which extends from FaceletViewHandler - this is not part of faclets 2.
I am migrating on JBoss 4.2.2 the following:
- JSF 1.2 to JSF 2.0
I also want to migrate the faclets - which i have a problem described above.
In my application, I am also using Tomahawk - is there any problem with this migration?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Right, you need to replace FaceletViewHandler by ViewHandlerWrapper.
So the following basic FaceletViewHandler implementation:
import javax.faces.application.ViewHandler;
import com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler;
public class MyViewHandler extends FaceletViewHandler {
public MyViewHandler(ViewHandler parent) {
super(parent);
}
// ...
}
needs to be updated as follows:
import javax.faces.application.ViewHandler;
import javax.faces.application.ViewHandlerWrapper;
public class MyViewHandler extends ViewHandlerWrapper {
private ViewHandler wrapped;
public MyViewHandler(ViewHandler wrapped) {
this.wrapped = wrapped;
}
#Override
public ViewHandler getWrapped() {
return wrapped;
}
// ...
}
I've updated my answer on the migration question accordingly.

To activate MyViewHandler e.g. for JEE7, WEB-INF/faces-config.xml should be defined like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<faces-config version="2.2" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_2.xsd">
<application>
<view-handler>pkg.MyViewHandler</view-handler>
</application>
</faces-config>
