The final result should look like this:
Install Grails
Download and install Grails 1.3.7Create a grails application
Executegrails create-app grails-primefaces
Install the JSF2 plugin
In order to use PrimeFaces in your grails application, you need to install the Grails JSF 2 plugin:Enter the directory "grails-primefaces" created by the "create-app" command and execute
grails install-plugin jsf2
Integrate PrimeFaces dependencies
The PrimeFaces dependencies are added via the maven2 dependency resolution integrated in grails.- Open the file
grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy
- Activate the normal maven repositories by uncommenting the lines "mavenLocal()" and "mavenCentral()"
- Add the PrimeFaces repository by adding the line
mavenRepo "http://repository.prime.com.tr"
to the "repositories" section - Add the PrimeFaces dependencies by adding the line
compile 'org.primefaces:primefaces:2.2.1'
to the dependencies section
repositories {
grailsPlugins()
grailsHome()
grailsCentral()
// uncomment the below to enable remote dependency resolution
// from public Maven repositories
mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
//mavenRepo "http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org"
//mavenRepo "http://repository.codehaus.org"
//mavenRepo "http://download.java.net/maven/2/"
//mavenRepo "http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/"
mavenRepo "http://repository.prime.com.tr"
}
dependencies {
// specify dependencies here under either 'build', 'compile', 'runtime', 'test' or 'provided' scopes eg.
// runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.13'
compile 'org.primefaces:primefaces:2.2.1'
}
Test the integration
- Create a JSF bean named "DummyBean" by executing the command
grails create-bean Dummy
.
- Open the created file grails-app/beans/DummyBean.groovy and add the following attributes and methods:
- Attributes:
def textHi = "hi" def textBy = "bye" def currentText = textHi
- Methods:
void change(javax.faces.event.ActionEvent ae) { if(currentText == textHi){ currentText = textBy } else { currentText = textHi } FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Changed text to $currentText", ""); FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, message); }The class should now look something like this:
class DummyBean { //['view' (jsf2special request scope),'request','session','globalSession' (portlet),'conversation'(swf),'flow'(swf)] def textHi = "hi" def textBy = "bye" def currentText = textHi //def otherBean (autowired bean) void init() { //called when bean starts } void dispose() { //called when bean stop } /*String action() { }*/ void change(javax.faces.event.ActionEvent ae) { if(currentText == textHi){ currentText = textBy } else { currentText = textHi } FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Changed text to $currentText", ""); FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, message); } }
- Attributes:
- Create a new file
dummy.xhtml
in the foldergrails-app/views/
and add the following content:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:p="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"> <h:head> </h:head> <h:body> <f:view contentType="text/html"> <h:form> <p:growl id="messages"/> <h:panelGroup id="prop"> <p:commandButton value="say #{dummyBean.currentText}" onclick="dlg.show();"/> <p:commandButton value="Change text..." actionListener="#{dummyBean.change}" update="prop,dialogContent,messages"/> </h:panelGroup> </h:form> <p:dialog header="Saying something..." widgetVar="dlg" resizable="false" modal="true"> <h:panelGroup id="dialogContent"> <h:outputText value="#{dummyBean.currentText}!"/> </h:panelGroup> </p:dialog> </f:view> </h:body> </html> - Now startup the application by using the command
grails run-app
and open the url http://localhost:8080/grails-primefaces/dummy.xhtml in your browser.
