About

My PixI’m Edem Morny. I’ve been an ardent Java developer since 2005. I passed my Sun Certified Java Programmer, Web Component and Business Component Developer exams between January and March 2006 and just completed my BSc in Computer Science at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology (KNUST) in June 2007.

My current areas of interest are in enterprise technologies especially enterprise web applications development using the JBoss Seam framework (soon to be Web Beans in JavaEE6). For all its criticism, I love JSF and Facelets and hope to see it improved in JSF 2.0 (I believe the right people are on the spec team this time). I’ve also just started looking at Spring, Mule ESB and SOA.

I also love Linux and am building up my skill base in it, especially on Fedora. My favourite IDE as you might have guessed is NetBeans (though at work I have to use Eclipse). Currently I’m a Software Developer with GenKey Africa, a subsidiary of the Meltwater Group

    Dear Edem,

    As I can see you’re interested in Seam and Facelets.
    I’m just beginning to work with facelets in NetBeans IDE. Every time
    when I run my web application I encounter exception :

    StandardWrapperValve[Faces Servlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/el/lang/EvaluationContext
    at org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamApplication.getExpressionFactory(SeamApplication.java:346)
    at com.sun.facelets.compiler.Compiler.createExpressionFactory(Compiler.java:131)
    at com.sun.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory.createFacelet(DefaultFaceletFactory.java:198)
    at com.sun.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory.getFacelet(DefaultFaceletFactory.java:144)
    at com.sun.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory.getFacelet(DefaultFaceletFactory.ja

    If you know the cause of my error , would you mind to help me ??

    regards,
    Nikola

    Hi, I’ll like reply your comment but u’ve put it at the wrong place. Please place your comment on one of the posts on Seam, preferably the post on “Getting NetBeans 6 Ready for Seam Development“. This page is more or less a personality profile page.

    Thanks.

    hi Edem,
    I am just starting to use richfaces for a new project I am working on. for some strange reason, I cannot get any rich:component controls to do a popup…not even copying and pasting the sample code from the live richfaces demo site.
    Do you know what could be causing this. I have used JSF before but not richfaces and this is kinlling me.

    regards

    NB: I also finished KNUST in 2006 but I did Electrical Eng so may never have met you.

      When you say “I cannot get any rich:component to do a popup” are you referring to rich:componentControl? What exactly are you using it to popup? And can you try with firebug to see if you are not getting any javascript errors?

      KNUST is a big place bruv. What it lacked (and still lacks) is an active java community to foster relationships and knowledge sharing :-) . We’ll see.
