Rational Application Developer Standard Edition, Version 8.0.4.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Abstract:
  
  Attempts to validate Java Server Faces 2 projects result in slow
  times for two validators, called:
  JSFNonELAttributeValueValidator and FaceletHTMLValidator
  
  Problem:
  
  1. Validate a project that uses Java Server Faces 2 and that
  contains a large number of .jar files and Faces Managed Beans.
  2. Take validation traces according to this technote:
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21416260
  
  Results:
  
  Two validators, 'JSFNonELAttributeValueValidator' and
  'FaceletHTMLValidator' appear to be consuming large CPU times.
  
  This issue was reported as:
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=377405
  
  Local fix:
  
  Disable validation during build, and leave validation in manual
  mode, with these steps:
  
  1. Open Windows?Preferences?Validation
  2. Deselect:
  Facelet HTML Validator
  (org.eclipse.jst.jsf.facelet.ui.FaceletHTMLValidator)
  JSF View Validator
  (org.eclipse.jst.jsf.ui.JSFNonELAttributeValueValidator)
  under the Build column, and leave them selected under the Manual
  column.
  
  This ensures that the Validators do not run every time the
  projects are built, but they do run if you right-click on the
  project and select: Validate.
