Configuring the ICEfaces Application

Configuring the ICEfaces Application

Using the Asynchronous HTTP Server with an ICEfaces application requires the following configuration changes.

1. Indicate that the EE Asynchronous HTTP Server is used by adding the following code to the web.xml file:
	    <context-param>
 
	        <param-name>com.icesoft.faces.async.server</param-name>
 
	        <param-value>true</param-value>
 
	    </context-param>
 
Note: The Blocking Servlet must not be removed from the web.xml file as it is still responsible for handling non-blocking requests.

2. Just as the Asynchronous HTTP Server needs to be configured for your specific application server, an ICEfaces application needs to be configured for JMS. Refer to Configuring the Asynchronous HTTP Server on page 10 for details on configuring the application to use the JMS Provider.

3. Add the following JARs to the web application build (if not already present):

backport-util-concurrent.jar
icefaces-enterprise.jar
