Problem in WebXml.java when using JSF portlet bridge on oracle

["Grange, John" <Jo...@uk.thalesgroup.com>]

Hi,

I am developing a portlet based on the apache portals bridge and myfaces
1.1.5 on oracle oc4j 10.1.3 from jdeveloper 10.1.3.2.0.

JDeveloper inserts several servlets etc into the web.xml to instrument the
portlet for WSRP.

It appears that one of the servlets does not have its class available in the
classpath when WebXml.java has its getFacesServletMappings method called.
This causes an exception to be thrown at line 123.  It occurs to me that
myfaces really does not need to know about this servlet, therefore, if I
surround the appropriate block with a try/catch, and just continue, then
everything works, just fine.

Modified code snippet follow:

            try {
                Class servletClass =
org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.util.ClassUtils.simpleClassForName((String)en
try.getValue());
    //            if (FacesServlet.class.isAssignableFrom(servletClass) ||
    //
DelegatedFacesServlet.class.isAssignableFrom(servletClass))
    //            {
                    List urlPatterns =
(List)_servletMappings.get(servletName);
                    if( urlPatterns != null )
                    {
                        for (Iterator it2 = urlPatterns.iterator();
it2.hasNext(); )
                        {
                            String urlpattern = (String)it2.next();
                            _facesServletMappings.add(new
org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.webapp.webxml.ServletMapping(servletName,
 
servletClass,
 
urlpattern));
                            if (log.isTraceEnabled())
                                log.trace("adding mapping for servlet + " +
servletName + " urlpattern = " + urlpattern);
                        }
                    }
    //            }
    //            else
    //            {
    //                if (log.isTraceEnabled()) log.trace("ignoring servlet
+ " + servletName + " " + servletClass + " (no FacesServlet)");
    //            }
            } catch (Exception cnfe) {
                log.info("Error loading servlet class " +
(String)entry.getValue());
            }
