Problem with configuration JBOSS 4.0.4, RichFaces and Exadel

[herrmamo]

I hope someone can help me.
For a project at university I wanted to use Richfaces. That worked very fine with Tomcat. But then we changed to JBOSS 4.0.4 and it isn't working any more.

It would be nice if someone could give some hints of configurating the server.

Many thanks in advance

System I use:
JBOSS 4.0.4
Exadel Studio Pro
RichFaces

The error I get:

Sorry. I forgot the important WEB.xml:

I solved the problem with a workaround from the Oracle site:

...

1) re-installed a clean copy of JBoss 4.0.4RC1 using the jar installer
(Note: if you just use the unzip and copy method, the ejb 3 won't work by default)

2) deleted the <jboss_home>/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/jsf-libs folder.

3) comment out this portion in <jboss_home>/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/cong/web.xml

<init-param>
<description>MyFaces tlds</description>
<param-name>tagLibJar0</param-name>
<param-value>jsf-libs/myfaces-impl.jar</param-value>
</init-param>

4) deleted the tmp, log and data folders under <jboss_home>/server/default
directory (these were there, because i did a test start and stop)

5) Started JBoss

6) Deployed JSF application.
...

So the problem have been the included jar files in the JBOSS installation.
