One or more resources has the target of 'head' but not 'head' component has been defined within the view
I'm using NetBeans 7.3.1 and PrimeFaces 3.5 on GlassFish 3.2.
I created a JSF page with PrimeFaces components. The project runs fine, but the PrimeFaces UI look'n'feel is completely missing. I'm only noticing below message in server log:
One or more resources has the target of 'head' but not 'head' component has been defined within the view
What does this mean and how can I fix the PrimeFaces UI look'n'feel?
Answer
This means that you're using plain HTML <head> instead of JSF <h:head> in your XHTML template. The JSF <h:head> allows automatic inclusion of CSS/JS resources in the generated HTML <head> via @ResourceDependency annotations. PrimeFaces as being a jQuery based JSF component library needs to auto-include some jQuery/UI JS/CSS files and this really requires a <h:head>.
So, search for a
<head>
<title>Some title</title>
...
</head>
in your templates and replace it by
<h:head>
<title>Some title</title>
...
</h:head>
