start with richfaces and netbeans

[mario_r_m]

i´m trying to start an application in netbeans but always shows a page with "The requested resource () is not available." error message.

i added the beanutils, collections, digester and loggging libraries.

what can i do?, where can i find a good tutorial about richfaces?

Do you have any stacktrace somewhere in a log file?

Do you have any more lines in exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
The vital information is what class is missing or from what row that exception was thrown.
But something is definitely missing from a classpath.

Apache common collections is missing.

Here is list of dependecies in case of Tomcat5.5/JSF1.2/Faceletes/FastFilter
commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
commons-collections-3.2.jar
commons-digester-1.8.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
el-api-1.0.jar
el-impl-1.0.jar
jsf-api-1.1_02.jar
jsf-facelets-1.1.12.jar
jsf-impl-1.1_02.jar
jstl-1.0.jar
nekohtml-0.9.5.jar
richfaces-api-3.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
richfaces-impl-3.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
richfaces-ui-3.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
xercesImpl-2.4.0.jar

It *may* be variation in other environments.

I guess you are on Glassfish?I will recommend you to add jars one-by-one and see when it will works. Plus I will recommend you to use FastFilter - that may be mucg faster on big pages. Plus I will recommend you to switch to server state saving - that will keep page size much smaller (again huge performance gain).
