Hello I am trying to do this:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>

<f:view><html><body>
<h:form>
<br><br><br>
<h:dataTable id="dt1" value="#{TableBean.perInfoAll}" var="item" bgcolor="#F1F1F1" border="10" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="3" first="0" rows="4" width="50%" dir="LTR" frame="hsides" rules="all" summary="This is a JSF code to create dataTable." >

<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="This is 'dataTable' demo" />
</f:facet>

<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="id" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.id}"></h:outputText>
</h:column>

<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.name}"></h:outputText>
</h:column>

<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="phone"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.phone}"></h:outputText>
</h:column>

<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="city"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.city}"></h:outputText>
</h:column>

<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="pin"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.pin}"></h:outputText>
</h:column>

<f:facet name="footer">
<h:outputText value="The End" />
</f:facet>

</h:dataTable><br><br>

</h:form>
</body></html></f:view>


this does not work for me because I do not have the classpath environment variable set up correctly. Can someone help me with detailed instructions on how to do this? I know where to find the environment variables, however, I am not sure if they should be named CLASSPATH and also what should be in the value for the CLASSPATH variable.

Thanks

Helpful hint: use the "Code" button to get the message editor to wrap special tags around your code/xml that will keep it from getting mangled.

I don't have any idea how CLASSPATH is supposed to apply to what you're asking, however. A dataTable works by referencing a DataModel object that manages the rows to be displayed. The DataModel object is a property of a backing bean.

Normally, the datamodel object is constructed by the backing bean and backing beans are (by definition) part of the classpath of a JSF app. So no special peeking into environments or whatever is required. Not that it's a good idea for webapps to use environment variables anyway.

Hello again, this is my first time working with JSF. ITo review what we were saying the last time you wrote to me was this:

The class path is set to where ever the jsf jar files are located.
Its used in a web application so the jar files are going to be in
the application_name\WebRoot\web-inf\lib directory.

My setup is now:
root path to jsf-api.jar;
root path to jsf-impl.jar;

now I am having a different problem. Even though that is all squared away, I cannot create a JSF file:



and have no problems with the following Bean:

TableBean is the name of this Bean:





Please help me get pointed in the right direction to create a JSF page so that I can run this code with the bean -- Thanks very much!
