nothing in my view

[Adam Nichols <mr...@gmail.com>]

I'm using tiles 2.0.5 with myFaces.  I was able to get my application to 
deploy, but when I got to my tiles page nothing inside <f:view> is 
output to the browser.  When I made a sample page without tiles, it 
worked as expected.  So I know JSF is set up properly.

I deployed myfaces-example-tiles-1.1.8, and that worked fine.  I copied 
the configuration settings and jsp pages into my tomcat project and 
nothing in f:view renders there either..  Nothing helpful in the logs, 
even at debug level.  What should I be looking at to find out what's 
going on?

Thanks,
Adam

Yeah, I ended up just copying over the web.xml which worked in the 
example .war file but to no avail.  Here's the web.xml entry:
       <!-- Tiles ViewHandler config file --> 	
      <context-param> 	
          <param-name>tiles-definitions</param-name> 	
          <param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles.xml</param-value> 	
      </context-param>

and the entry from faces-config.xml:
<application>
<view-handler>org.apache.myfaces.tomahawk.application.jsp.JspTilesTwoViewHandlerImpl</view-handler>
</application>

I'm going to try to create an identical project to the example .war file 
and see if I can get things working.  I'll post back if I have any success.

After cloning the example, and switching configurations over one file at 
a time, I found that the problem was my web.xml entry for a security 
filter (http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net/).  It matched /* and was 
disrupting tiles from working properly.

At a few points I got errors about i/o errors and finding my template 
file.  Each time I got that it was related to web.xml entries as well. 
So if you're having troubles when trying to get tiles set up, I'd 
suggest starting with web.xml.

I tried the same thing about a year ago (you can probably find the old
messages in the archives), and concluded that Facelets provides the same
ability and is much simpler to use from JSF.  I eventually convinced the
powers that be at our company that JSF wasn't the right direction for us
(thank goodness!), so we're using Tiles2 with Struts2 on top of Spring and
things have been awesome ever since.  If you're dedicated to JSF, I'd
definitely look into Facelets.

Did you put reference on you custom tiles config in web.xml? How you did that?
