How can I configure my joinfaces correctly? - maven

Question

I tried using JoinFaces for my JSF Project in combination with spring boot!
I figured it must be as easy as dropping the dependencies provided in the JoinFaces "getting Started" tab into my maven and set the right starter.
Is there more to it then doing what I described above?
Im using primefaces, Maven and TomCat!
My dependencies look like this
<dependency>
<groupId>org.joinfaces</groupId>
<artifactId>primefaces-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.joinfaces</groupId>
<artifactId>joinfaces-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.joinfaces</groupId>
<artifactId>joinfaces-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${joinfaces.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>classpath-scan</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.joinfaces</groupId>
<artifactId>joinfaces-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>${joinfaces.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<joinfaces.version>4.0.2</joinfaces.version>
What loader should I use, I run an embedded tomcat via SpringBoot and I want my primefaces to work!
But If I use the primefaces starter I always get an

Ah It is really frustrating ._.

Answer 1

I am pretty sure you need way more than just the Primefaces starter. You also need either Mojarra or MyFaces starter for which JSF you are using etc.
I would download and run this app locally it is a configuration app that walks you through
https://github.com/joinfaces/joinfaces-maven-jar-example
Run Example Application locally
1- Clone this project
git clone https://github.com/joinfaces/joinfaces-maven-jar-example.git
2- Build
mvn clean install
3- Run
java -jar target/joinfaces-example-4.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
4- Access starter page at http://localhost:8080/
