Migrating .view Files to JSF 2.x Format

You can migrate individual .view files within a task application project into .xhtml files. This is convenient when you have added a JSF 1.x portlet to a JSF 2.x project and you want to migrate the portlet views individually. While it is permissible to mix both .view files and .xhtml files in a JSF 2.x application, you are advised to migrate the added .view files.

Important:
Be sure to migrate the entire task application project before you migrate any individual .view files, as described in Migrating a JSF 1.x Task Application Project to JSF 2.x Format. Migrating .view files in a non-migrated project will result in missing libraries and runtime errors.

To migrate .view files to JSF 2.x format

Note:
Migration of .view files cannot be undone.

1. Locate the task application project you want to work with in the Project Explorer view or Navigator view.

2. Do one of the following:

To migrate an individual .view, right-click the .view file and click CAF Tools > Migrate to JSF 2.x.

To migrate all .view files in the portlet, right-click the portlet folder and click CAF Tools > Migrate to JSF 2.x.

To migrate all .view files in the application, right-click the WebContent folder and click CAF Tools > Migrate to JSF 2.x.

3. On the Migrate .view panel, set the selections to identify the .view files you want to migrate, then click Finish.
