In some of the web projects I have, MyEclipse does not recognize the JSF beans. The editor displays warnings where the bean is displayed. When I click on the space bar to list the attributes, the drop down list is not displayed and I get a beep.

It works on a stand alone project that I have which is not stored in Perforce (SCM) and uses Jdk 1.5. The other projects use Jdk 1.4

Both projects use Faces 1.1.5 and NetAdvantage Infragistics 2008 Vol 1. I am using My Eclipse 6.5. But I have had this problem in 6.0 as well.

How does MyEclipse recognize the JSF beans?

Thanks,

Bhaskar,
What is the warning that the editor displays?

Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

The editor gives the typical message i.e., "beanname" cannot be resolved, where "beanname" is the name that we specify such as workitems which is a bean defined in faces-confix.xml.

Here are the installation details.

I was finally able to nail down what is causing this.

In faces-config.xml file, we define the DTD as follows

<!DOCTYPE faces-config SYSTEM "web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd">

This is because we do not have access to the internet from our QA environment and deploy the web-faces-config_1_1.dtd file in WEB-INF folder.

If I change the DOCTYPE declaration to

<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd"> or

the beans are recognized in the editor.

Is there a solution to this issue?


Thanks,
Bhaskar
