After the <inputDate> component has been created you could use it on a page. Create a simple JSF project, called myapp for example, with only one JSP page that has a form with our <inputDate> component.
Here is the necessary page (index.jsp):
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://mycompany.org/inputDate" prefix="my"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>My inputDate</title>
</head>
<body>
<f:view>
<h:form>
<my:inputDate value="#{bean.text}">
<f:facet name="caption">
<f:verbatim>
Calendar:
</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
</my:inputDate>
<h:commandButton value="Submit" />
</h:form>
</f:view>
</body>
</html>
In order to build this application, you should create a managed bean:
package app;
public class Bean {
private String text = null;
public Bean() {
}
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public void setText(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
}
It is necessary to register your bean inside of the faces-config.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faces-config
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_1_2.xsd"
version="1.2">
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>bean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>myapp.Bean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
</faces-config>
It is also necessary to take following steps:
add necessary jar files (inputDate-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, jsf-api.jar, jsf-impl.jar, jstl-api-1.2.jar, richfaces-api-3.3.1.jar, richfaces-impl-3.3.1.jar, richfaces-ui-3.3.1.jar, commons-logging.jar, commons-digester.jar, commons-collections.jar, commons-beanutils.jar, common-annotations.jar) into the WEB-INF/lib folder
modify the web.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
<display-name>app</display-name>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>server</param-value>
</context-param>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<login-config>

</login-config>
<filter>

<filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>
Finally, you should be able to place this application on your Web server. To start your project, point your browser at http://localhost:8080/myapp/index.jsf.
