Spring Boot and JSF/Primefaces/Richfaces -

i have been in contact spring few months , came upon spring boot while browsing guides section. guides easy complete , made initial grasp of projects's basic (and awesome) idea, able build , deploy enterprise-level applications minimal configuration while upholding wide array of spring's/jee's practices. interested in using spring boot test projects since easier , faster set , run , still close production environment. trying build project spring boot , primefaces view technology of choice, setup apparently isn't ready out-of-the-box case thymeleaf, having binary in classpath enough. tried including folowing gradle/maven artifacts, no success:

• primefaces
• jsf-api
• jsf-impl
• el-api

spring boot's embedded tomcat server starts no apparent errors, after trying open page such /view in browser, embedded server displays following error message: http status 500 - circular view path: dispatch current handler url again. check viewresolver setup! (hint: may result of unspecified view, due default view name generation.)

after searching in several different places, still fail locate resources/tutorials on how set such project. here contents of build.gradle file:

buildscript {     repositories {         maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot" }     }     dependencies {         classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.0.0.rc4")     } }  apply plugin: 'java' apply plugin: 'idea' apply plugin: 'spring-boot'  idea {     module {         downloadjavadoc = true     } }  group = 'com.hello' version = '0.0.1-snapshot'  repositories {     mavencentral()     mavenlocal()     maven { url "http://repository.primefaces.org" } }  dependencies {     compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web") //    compile ("org.thymeleaf:thymeleaf-spring4")     compile group: 'org.primefaces', name: 'primefaces', version: '4.0'      compile group: 'com.sun.faces', name: 'jsf-api', version: '2.2.2'     compile group: 'com.sun.faces', name: 'jsf-impl', version: '2.2.2'     compile group: 'javax.el', name: 'el-api', version: '1.0' }  task wrapper(type: wrapper) {     gradleversion=1.10 } 

my main class:

package com.hello;  import org.springframework.boot.springapplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.enableautoconfiguration; import org.springframework.context.annotation.componentscan; import org.springframework.context.annotation.configuration;  @enableautoconfiguration @componentscan @configuration public class application {     public static void main(string[] args) {         springapplication.run(application.class, args);     } } 

and implementation of webmvcconfigureradapter:

package com.hello;  import org.springframework.context.annotation.configuration; import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.viewcontrollerregistry; import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.webmvcconfigureradapter;  @configuration public class mvcconfig extends webmvcconfigureradapter {      @override     public void addviewcontrollers(viewcontrollerregistry registry) {         registry.addviewcontroller("/").setviewname("view");         registry.addviewcontroller("/view").setviewname("view");     }  } 

along view.html file (i tried view.xhtml), these files created project i'm trying minimal setup.

if can see i'm doing wrong (or not doing @ all), appreciated. need files/beans jsf configuration in case? if so, , how should put such files?

this question has been posted in official spring forums: http://forum.spring.io/forum/spring-projects/boot/746552-spring-boot-and-jsf-primefaces-richfaces

edit: after including m. deinum's configuration bean jsf , removing webmvcconfigureradapter definition (related spring mvc), spring boot seems map requests facesservlet instance, following error message: http status 500 - servlet.init() servlet facesservlet threw exception

root cause:

java.lang.illegalstateexception: not find backup factory javax.faces.context.facescontextfactory 

the code new jsfconfig bean:

package com.hello;  import com.sun.faces.config.configurelistener; import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.servletlistenerregistrationbean; import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.servletregistrationbean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.bean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.configuration; import org.springframework.web.servlet.viewresolver; import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.internalresourceviewresolver;  import javax.faces.webapp.facesservlet;  @configuration public class jsfconfig {      @bean     public facesservlet facesservlet() {         return new facesservlet();     }      @bean     public servletregistrationbean facesservletregistration() {         servletregistrationbean registration = new servletregistrationbean(facesservlet(), "*.xhtml");         registration.setname("facesservlet");         return registration;     }      @bean     public servletlistenerregistrationbean<configurelistener> jsfconfigurelistener() {         return new servletlistenerregistrationbean<configurelistener>(new configurelistener());     }      @bean     public viewresolver getviewresolver(){         internalresourceviewresolver resolver = new internalresourceviewresolver();         resolver.setprefix("/templates/");         resolver.setsuffix(".xhtml");         return resolver;     } } 

you using jsf isn't going work spring mvc both different technologies. have setup jsf correctly. need add facesservlet , faces configurelistener.this needed setup jsf correctly, configurelistener detected automatically embedded versions don't seem that.

@configuration public class jsfconfig {      @bean     public facesservlet facesservlet() {         return new facesservlet();     }      @bean     public servletregistrationbean facesservletregistration() {         servletregistrationbean registration = new servletregistrationbean(facesservlet(), "*.xhtml");         registration.setname("facesservlet")         return registration;     }      @bean     public listenerregistationbean jsfconfigurelistener() {         return new listenerregistrationbean(new configurelistener());                }        } 

something this. advice disable auto config dispatcherservlet etc. using jsf , not spring mvc.

@enableautoconfiguration(exclude={webmvcautoconfiguration.class,dispatcherservletautoconfiguration }
