Hello everyone,

I am kind of new with jsf, and I also got this working before, but now its not working anymore. I tried to search here inside the forum but I am not sure about the exact wording or name of the function.

If I have a bean (TestBean.java) and if I am inside an xhtml page and I type something like

<h:outputText value="#{TestBean.

I want all available methods to display (after ctrl+space), but this isn't working anymore.

What is the name of this function? Is that called tab-completion or code-completion?

Many greetings,
Hauke

PS: Using JSF 2.0 and the latest eclipse version

In Eclipse it's called "Content Assist". You're on the right track.

Hi,

thanks for the information. But I think that content assist is if you enter
<h:
And you get all possible tags starting with <h:

That is working fine, but the accessing of the beans isn't working. Does anyone has
an idea?

Thanks and many greetings,
Hauke

Both forms are known as content assist, but let's not dwell on that. Have you declared the Java class as a Managed Bean named "TestBean"?

May or may not be the issue here: Content assist only works with managed beans defined in the faces-config.xml file; JSF 2.0 managed beans declared by the @ManagedBean annotation are not recognized as such by the eclipse JSF tooling (hence content assist fails) - see bugs [306428, 323709, ...].

I've been hoping that the new Indigo release would fix this, but it appears these bugs are "deferred for future" resolution.

Sorry, I missed the JSF 2.0 connection - Richard is, of course, absolutely correct. We didn't have the resources available to make the necessary enhancements in the Indigo timeframe. We do welcome contributions to the project, though.

If you or anyone would take the time to get me up to speed on:
a) how to setup eclipse dev env for eclipse/JSF
b) generally where to start

I'd be happy to take a look at the code & see if I can come up with a solution to contribute when/if/as my schedule opens up a bit. Busy busy busy Smile

Just FYI, while it's been a while, I do have some history with Apache open source projects (axis, commons-logging & commons-discovery).

Since JSF Tools is a sub-project of WTP, a good place to start would be http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/. The way I approach development is to grab a recent version of WTP and pre-reqs, setup a CVS connection (until you're a committer, you can get read-only anonymous access - see links from the WTP dev page, above), and get JSF plug-ins that you are interested in developing. Then, you can contribute any work by logging a bug or enhancement request against JSF Tools and attaching a patch; we do our best to try to find time to look at contributed patches.

thanks for the question

i was coming here to ask this very question (find a solution)
i have added annotations to my classes as per JSF2 docs - but i find that Eclipse Indigo does not recognise my classes when trying to use "Content Assist",

the solution while developing seems to use the "faces-config.xml" to register my classes - when the "Content Assist" starts to work as expected.

has this been filled as a bug or an enhancement anywhere?

thanks a lot

Yes, a number of times, in Bugzilla. Here's one that I found quite quickly: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=306428.

Go: Help -> Install New Software
ADD: download.jboss.org/jbosstools/oxygen/development/updates/
Expand-> JBoss Web and Java EE Development
And select: Jboss Tools JSF

This should fix the problem...
