Unable to run richfaces-demo-3.1.0 on jboss 4.0.5

I am attempting to run a recent snapshot of richfaces-demo-3.1.0 on jboss 4.0.5. During initialization I get this error:

2007-08-30 14:04:49,786 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/richfaces-demo-3.1.0]] Error configuring application listener of class com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener

Any ideas why?

Env:
Windows XP
Java 5
JBoss 4.0.5

el-api is missing.

you need to build richfaces-demo with -P tomcat5 option

[lbbishop]

I grabbed the nightly war file. I did not build from source.

You said: use the -P tomcat option. Does that mean:

Note: the war files of examples and demos are adopted for Tomcat 5.x

is not true?

Please advise.

Thanks.

unfortunately, the different type of contained require different number of jar files in the WEB-INF/lib

If you do not want to build the war by yourself, download and add el-api.jar manually

It does not matter what is by default. Somebody always complains it is not her case :-)
