    drop down menu in Rich Faces

    gingaz

      Hello!

      I have some problems. In RichFaces live demo
      ( http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/dropDownMenu.jsf?c=dropDownMenu )
      i saw DropDownMenu component which is absent in jboss-richfaces-3.0.0.zip!

      So i downloaded source files from SVN and built ajax4jsf-1.1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar. I found DropDownMenu, BUT, look what happens when i use RF Live Demo code fragment:
      [img] http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1263/menuzz1.jpg [/img]

      Any ideas why this happens?

      I'm using richfaces-3.0.1-20070529.001425-68.jar SNAPSHOT and ajax4jsf-1.1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar.

              I have latest Rich Faces nightly build and 221st revision of ajax4jsf (latest i think).

                Did you cleared caches after libraries update?

                  Yes, but didn't help.

                  Maybe somebody could upload working ajax4jsf, richfaces and oscache libraries with DropDownMenus, so i could check if this was the problem?

                    Changed nothing.

                    Hm, here is what i do steb by step:

                    1. Using JDeveloper i create Web Application [JSF, ADF, BD].

                    2. Copy "ajax4jsf-1.1.1-20070530.003007-129.jar" and "oscache-2.3.2.jar" (also "commons-collections-3.2.jar" needed) to the WEB-INF\lib.

                    3. Add the following content into the WEB-INF/web.xml file:

                    <display-name>a4jEchoText</display-name>
                     <context-param>
                     <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
                     <param-value>server</param-value>
                     </context-param>
                     <filter>
                     <display-name>Ajax4jsf Filter</display-name>
                     <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
                     <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
                     </filter>
                     <filter-mapping>
                     <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
                     <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
                     <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
                     <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
                     <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
                     </filter-map>
                     <listener>
                     <listener-class>
                     com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
                     </listener-class>
                     </listener>
                    
                     <!-- Faces Servlet -->
                     <servlet>
                     <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
                     <servlet-class>
                     javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet
                     </servlet-class>
                     <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
                     </servlet>
                    
                     <!-- Faces Servlet Mapping -->
                     <servlet-mapping>
                     <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
                     <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
                     </servlet-mapping>
                     <login-config>
                     <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
                     </login-config>


                    4. Add <xmlns:a4j="https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/ajax">.

                    5. Add "ajax4jsf-1.1.1-20070530.003007-129.jar" to the Libraries list, because JDeveloper cannot find org.ajax4jsf.Filter class.

                    Using Ajax4jsf Developer Guide example everything works!

                    Now richFaces:

                    6. Copy "richfaces-3.0.1-20070530.003007-70.jar" to WEB-INF\lib.

                    7. Add lines to WEB-INF\web.xml:

                    <context-param>
                     <param-name>org.ajax4jsf.SKIN</param-name>
                     <param-value>blueSky</param-value>
                    </context-param>


                    8. Add <xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.ajax4jsf.org/rich">.

                    9.Add "richfaces-3.0.1-20070530.003007-70.jar" to the Libraries list.

                    Here's source code of my page:

                     </f:view>
                    </jsp:root>



                    And the result:

                    http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/5067/menulr7.jpg

                    I use Jdeveloper (10.1.3.2) with embedded OC4J server (10.1.3.2.0).

                    I can't figure out, what's wrong.
