I have a War and Jar project in my Eclipse-based JSF project. I have decided to use annotations to declare my FacesConverter, (among a myriad other things), rather than declare it using my faces-config.xml.
@FacesConverter(value="passwordFieldStringConverter")
public class PasswordFieldStringConverter implements Converter {
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, String arg2) throws ConverterException {
try {
return arg2.getBytes("UTF-16BE");
}
catch(UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {
Assert.impossibleException(uee);
}
return(null);
}
public String getAsString(FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, Object arg2) throws ConverterException {
try {
return new String((byte[]) arg2, "UTF-16BE");
}
catch(UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {
Assert.impossibleException(uee);
}
return(null);
}
}
And then I use passwordFieldStringConverter directly in my .xhtml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:sec="http://www.springframework.org/security/facelets/tags">
<ui:composition>
<f:view>
<f:loadBundle basename="landingPage.bundle" var="bundle" />
<ui:decorate template="/WEB-INF/jsf_helpers/htmlShell.xhtml">
<ui:param name="PageTitleParam" value="#{bundle.pageTitle}" />
<h:form>
<h:dataTable var="rowVar" value="#{userListContainer.users}">
<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Users you are currently managing:" /></f:facet>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Screen Name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{rowVar.screenName}" />
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Password" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{rowVar.password}">
<f:converter converterId="passwordFieldStringConverter" />
</h:outputText>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
</h:form>
</ui:decorate>
</f:view>
</ui:composition>
</html>
JSF is supposed to scan the jars in my War at deployment-time and detect which classes have annotations on them (and auto-configure the application accordingly). My problem is that JSF is apparently not detecting the classes I have which sport annotations.
The War project has all of my .xhtml files as well as the project's faces-config.xml, my Jar project has all of my faces related Java code (action beans, managed beans, custom converters, etc.)

In the case that the JAR that contains Faces Beans is already bundled in an ear (because it contains EJBs), then you also have to put the same JAR in the WEB-INF/lib of the war (on top of adding the faces-config.xml in the META-INF directory), so that the container recognizes the JSF 2.0 Annotations.
In this case, it is probably better to create two JARS, one for the EJBs and one for the FacesBeans.
