I am using JSF 2.1.13
to create a prototype to demostrate the benefits of JSF over our current webapp built with JSP
and struts 1.1
. I following code using works with JSF 2.2.6
, but I had to down grade once I found out that Oracle Weblogic 12c doesn't support JSF 2.2 yet. When running the code with 2.1.13 I receive the following error:
/pages/sites/tab-details.xhtml @27,90 <ccc:codedType> Tag Library supports namespace: http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/ccc, but no tag was defined for name: codedType
Googling only pointed me to a bug about nested composite components, but that isn't something I'm doing.

After more digging I found what caused my error. Note the location of my compontent: webapp/WEB-INF/resources/ccc/codedType.xhtml
. The appropriate location should be webapp/resources/ccc/codedType.xhtml
(root vs WEB-INF
). In JSF 2.2, they allowed the location to be configurable and I had the following in my web.xml
:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.WEBAPP_RESOURCES_DIRECTORY</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/resources</param-value>
</context-param>
which is why things worked in JSF 2.2.
The fix for my situation was to remove javax.faces.WEBAPP_RESOURCES_DIRECTORY
since it isn't used in JSF 2.1 and move the resources to the root.
