JSF 1.1 and tomahawk 1.1.1 inputCalendar, is myfaces-*.jar needed?

Question

I should use JSF 1.1 Mojarra implemetnation in job project.

But I need a popUp calendar widget. I've tried many different frameworks and stopped on tomahawk. I've setupped filter for tomahawk javasripts in web.xml but still have problems.

Should I necessary replace jsf-impl.jar and jsf-api.jar with myfaces-impl.jar and myfaces-api.jar ?

Or can I work with some versions of tomahawk calendar without faces.jar ?

Maybe someone can advice some popup calendar widget for JSF 1.1 from other frameworks that can be easy integrated?

Answer 1

If you just need a date picker, you could use the pure javascript library, eg: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/DatePickerTest.htm

Should I necessary replace jsf-impl.jar and jsf-api.jar with myfaces-impl.jar and myfaces-api.jar ?

No, that's not needed. Tomahawk is just a component library which is supposed to be JSF implementation independent. That it is created by the MyFaces guys is pure coincidence. I've used Tomahawk on Mojarra for ages and it works fine.

You should be more clear about those "problems" if you want more assistance. Ask a new question wherein you post the problem in depth detail (JSF/Tomahawk/Servletcontainer impl/version, steps done, unexpected results, any warnings/errors/exceptions, etc).

Seams that this combination works with JSF 1.1 Mojarra implementations:

commons-fileupload-1.2.2.jar
tomahawk-1.1.9.jar

And changes in web.xml:

<filter>
    <filter-name>extensionsFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.filter.ExtensionsFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<!--
    extension mapping for adding <script/>, <link/>, and other resource
    tags to JSF-pages
-->
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>extensionsFilter</filter-name>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
<!--
    extension mapping for serving page-independent resources (javascript,
    stylesheets, images, etc.)
-->
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>extensionsFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
