<t:panelNavigation2>导致javax.faces.FacesException：不能两次添加相同的组件

Question

I am using Tomahawk20 1.1.14 for JSF 2.0 on WildFly 8.2.0. When using <t:panelNagivation2> , the below exception is thrown:

javax.faces.FacesException: Cannot add the same component twice

How is this caused and how can I solve it? Here is the stack trace:

Downgrading the Wildfly to use JSF 2.1.29-04 (which is the latest 2.1.x version) throws the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.faces.view.ViewScoped from [Module "org.jboss.as.jsf:main" from local module loader @15b3e5b (finder: local module finder @61ca2dfa (roots: /wildfly_8.2.0_final_acd/wildfly_8.2.0_final_acd/modules,/wildfly_8.2.0_final_acd/wildfly_8.2.0_final_acd/modules/system/layers/base))]

And in effect the class

javax.faces.view.ViewScoped

is missing in the jsf-api.jar

Answer 1

Tomahawk for JSF 2.0 is not fully compatible with JSF 2.2. Some components may work, but others may not work. The <t:panelNavigation2> is such one. The exception you faced is consequence of a bug in dynamic component tree manipulation (which was previously used to workaround an old JSF 1.x bug in tracking programmatic component tree changes).

You have 2 options:

1. Downgrade to JSF 2.1/2.0. You can use the same instructions as answered here: Upgrade JSF / Mojarra in JBoss AS / EAP / WildFly You'll obviously only miss JSF 2.2 specific features.

2. Or, drop Tomahawk. MyFaces stopped development of Tomahawk (at least, it isn't maintained anymore for years). A lot of utilities/enhancements are already taken over in standard JSF. As to visual components, look for another UI component library such as PrimeFaces , or just use "plain vanilla" HTML/CSS (if you don't consider IE6/7 as supported browsers, then menus are relatively trivial with <ul><li> and a bit of CSS).
