Richfaces questions..

[chbeutenmueller]

Hi there,

I am currently evaluating RichFaces for a web development project and found it very nice.
After reading through the documentation and trying out some samples I got some more questions, that hopefully can be answered easily:

1. The current documentation reads, that RichFaces requires a JDK 1.5 or higher. Has anyone tried to use it in a JDK 1.4 environment (probably using a tool like retroweaver or jboss retro?).

Our codebase is 1.5 right now, so we need to use retroweaver anyway ;-).

2. What are the dependies for the runtime? The documentation says, none (in addition to the servlet environment and a suitable jsf implementation).

The samples have a lot more dependencies in the WEB-INF/lib directory (stuff like xerces, nekohtml, ..), are they needed?

It would be nice if someone could answer this questions, since they are essential for us.

Thanks in advance,
Christian

Sorry,

seems like I accidentally got the wrong forum. Could someone please move this topic to RichFaces Users where it belongs. It seems I cannot do it ..

2) nekko and xerses needed when FastFilter used instead of default Filter

1) We'll support 1.5 and higher with jsf 1.2 only in new 3.2.0 branch

In reverse I assume that for the 3.1.x branch a JDK 1.4 and JSF 1.1 is fine as runtime? (contrary to the statement in the documentation)
