Installing the JSF Reference Implementation

You install the JSF Reference Implementation as follows:

  1. Download the JSF reference implementation from the Sun JavaServer Faces website: http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/
  2. Unzip the downloaded file into a folder. This folder contains the required library files:
    • commons-beanutils.jar

    • commons-collections.jar

    • commons-digester.jar

    • commons-logging.jar

    • jsf-api.jar

    • jsf-impl.jar

  3. The JSF reference implementation requires an additional jar file:
    • jstl.jar

    You can download it from the Apache Jakarta Project website: http://jakarta.apache.org/.

    Unzip the downloaded file to obtain the folder "jakarta-taglibs\standard\lib", and copy the jstl.jar file to the JSF reference implementation lib folder.

  4. Define a "JSF_LIB" variable in the PowerDesigner "General Options" window, Variables tab to indicate the JSF reference implementation lib folder path.
