Question

i am using PrettyFaces 3.3.0 with Spring Security 3
i have two beans UserBean which is mapped to serve to pages (users,add)
and LoginBean to serve the login page

my mappings is as follows:

1- UserBean:

@Component("user")
@Scope("request")
@URLMappings(mappings = {
        @URLMapping(id = "users", pattern = "/users", viewId = "/faces/users.xhtml"),
        @URLMapping(id = "add", pattern = "/add", viewId = "/faces/add.xhtml") })
public class UserBean {

2- LoginBean:

@Component("login")
@Scope("request")
@URLMapping(id = "login", pattern = "/login", viewId = "/faces/login.xhtml")
public class LoginBean {

but when i try to run the application
i am getting the following exception (i added some debugs before and after the exception):

DEBUG [main] (FacesConfigBeanNameResolver.java:110) - Found 0 bean names in faces configuration.
DEBUG [main] (CDIBeanNameResolver.java:127) - BeanManager or Bean class not found. CDI resolver has been disabled.

DEBUG [main] (AbstractClassFinder.java:200) - Bytecode filter recommends to scan class: myapp.LoginBean

this line is repeated twice for LoginBean, is it the problem ?

Bytecode filter recommends to scan class LoginBean

please advise.

Answer 1

Please make sure that your IDE/build tool is not putting duplicated class files into your web application output directory. This is most likely the cause. I also believe this issue has been addressed in the PrettyFaces class scanner, but the fault is in the build.
