Installation and deployment issue

[sodium]

New user to both ajax4jsf and richfaces. I am wondering what are the other dependencies files required for installation of richfaces for deployment under Tomcat 6.0 container and JDK 1.5.

I followed the instructions in the developer guide. Web-INF/lib contains ajax4jsf-1.1.1.jar, richfaces-3.0.1.jar and oscache2.3.2.jar. My web.xml contains as followed:

<web-app>

<!-- 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>

<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-mapping>

</web-app>

I keep getting 404 not found even for index.html which contain only normal html tag. Even though i tried removing the filter and filter-mapping in my web.xml, its still giving me 404 error until i remove the .jar as well. Any advice will be much appreciated.

oscache2.3.2.jar is not required since Ajax4jsf 1.1.1.

Did your application run successfully before you added the files mentioned above?

It work fine if i just testing using normal JSF components. I forgot to mention the JSF libraries which i installed:

I have jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar from http://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net
I have standard.jar and jstl.jar from http://people.apache.org/builds/jakarta-taglibs/nightly
They are located in Tomcat /lib folder
These works fine with examples that i am learning via CoreJSF book.

I am guessing i must be missing some other files. Do i need MyFaces commons-xxxx.jar and myfaces-xxxx.jar as well? Cause i tried installing those jar into my Tomcat/lib and end up with 505 status error instead.

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

Much appreciated if anyone can point me in the right direction of all the files that are needed for deploying richfaces step by step.

Hello frnds, am new to JSF and I'd like to include richfaces components in my application, I downloaded a zipped version of richfaces 3.0.1 but I cannot find the richfaces-3.0.1.jar file in it..could someone please let me where to find that file and how to include in my application? tons of thanks cheers

[sodium]

Once extracted, look under richfaces-3.0.1\lib folder, there u should find both ajax4jsf-1.1.1.jar and richfaces-3.0.1.jar

[3.pravin]

Thanks sodium. am really sorry I dont find a lib folder in my richfaces-3.0.1, I have lib folders from the demo applications WEB-INF folder but not in the extracted richfaces-3.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers

[3.pravin]

I found the jar files and made my first application work with richfaces. Thanks again sodium!

Hello frnds just to share how I made the application work

I made the filter settings for ajax4jsf first then made the listener for application in web.xml which looks something like this,

....


<display-name>Ajax4jsf Filter</display-name>
<filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>


<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
REQUEST
FORWARD
INCLUDE
</filter-mapping>

<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>


.....

hope it helps someone!

Cheers
