JBossDeveloper

I created a new workspace and another new JSF project.  still doesn't work.

Why is the typing so slow now?  Is this a side-effect of using JSF project (jsfnature?)

I just noticed that the Person class is not a Seam JavaBean component (so I added the @Name):

@Name("person")
public class Person {
    private String name;

    public Person() {
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

perhaps this was the issue?

Is there a simple JSF project that I can drop in Eclipse and see the code assist work immediately?

This should not be so complicated.  No wonder everybody uses .NET and RoR!

thanks for the detailed response.  but that's exactly what I did with the exception of using JBoss 4.2 rather than Tomcat.  Code assist doesn't work (at least not in the sample facelets that are generated).

now I'm wondering if the hotel booking Seam example project or any others in the Seam distro have the jsfnature setup that I could test out??

I just installed the 3.1.0.CR1 JBT plugins into my Eclipse Galileo at home.

I created a java project for the Seam 2.2.0.GA booking example.  I right-clicked the project, selected configure, selected add JSF capabilities and the code assist does not work in the main.xhtml or book.xhtml facelets (the popup does happen when I type a Seam component name and then "." but no methods to choose from).

Here is the .project file contents:

What am I doing wrong?!

Yes!  It works now!

thanks.  I had to remove JSF capabilities, add JSF capabilities, add Seam support, add Seam facet.

Is this what I will always have to do if I run 'mvn eclipse:clean'?

I'm assuming you don't want us to run 'mvn eclipse:clean' or 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' from cmd line.

There are many extra files now in my web project after enabling Seam setup and/or Seam facet.

example:

@Name("authenticator")
public class Authenticator
{
    @Logger private Log log;

    @In Identity identity;
    @In Credentials credentials;

    public boolean authenticate()
    {
        log.info("authenticating {0}", credentials.getUsername());
        //write your authentication logic here,
        //return true if the authentication was
        //successful, false otherwise
        if ("admin".equals(credentials.getUsername()))
        {
            identity.addRole("admin");
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

}

Also, *.css files that I don't want.

How do I prevent this from happening (i.e. I don't need the extra files)?

So I guess the problem is understanding the differences b/n Seam facet and Seam support.  Which now I know I only need to add JSF capabilities and Seam support to my project.  I'll try that next time.

Is all of this documented clearly somewhere for Seam projects using JBT + CA specifically?

Actually, it does not let me uncheck the Seam facet.  Now I must manually delete/edit the extra changes/files generated by Seam facet....
