Problem with Filter - Recieve 404's when added

[kevingscott]

Hello All,
I am a new user of RichFaces and I am running into an issue. I am using Tomcat 5.5. I have the following JAR's in my WEB-INF/lib: ajax4jsf-1.1.1.jar, commons-logging.jar,jgroups-all.jar,oscache-2.3.2.jar, and richfaces-3.0.1.jar. I am just trying to get a simple test working, so right now I am not doing anything with the JSP except importing the taglib like so: <%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.ajax4jsf.org/rich" prefix="rich"%>

Everything works fine until I add the filter to my web.xml as specified in the RichFaces documentation. The text that I am adding that it causing an issue is:

<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>

Once this is added, I get 404's from everything else in that project (including an empty HTML file. I have checked and the other webapps deployed on the tomcat server are unaffected. I have been unable to figure out what I am doing incorrectly, could some please provide some help?

Thanks,
KS

There should be a stacktrace in the server log. please paste it.

Thanks for the reply! Unforunately, that's the issue, I am not seeing any exceptions or errors, just 404's once the filter is added

I guess I need to check my classpath

Hello!

You are missing commons-collections library. 3.2 version of commons-collections is highly recommended.

[kevingscott]

Ok, so I replaced the Commons 2.1 which I had with the 3.2 but it seems back to giving 404's, but I have the following error in my tomcat.log:

15:41:15,390 [Thread-1] ERROR Error filterStart - org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext [20070829]

Any ideas anyone?
