org.ajax4jsf.framework.skin.SkinNotFoundException:

[rodrigoduarte]

Hi,

I am using RichFaces 3.0.1, MyFaces Core 1.1.5, MyFaces Trinidad 1.0.2 and Facelet 1.1.12. I created my personal skin and when I run the application in JBoss Application Server, all run perfectly. But I run the application in the Tomcat 5.5, occur the follow exception:

Somebody would know as to decide this problem?

[sergeysmirnov]

skin is a .skin.properties file. It looks like you defined as a "skin/richfaces/celescAzul". So, the name should be
"skin/richfaces/celescAzul.skin.properties". It is not correct name. Be simple!

Hi Sergey,

Thank you for your answer.

Really the skin is a properties file. The name of my skin file is celescAzul.skin.properties as it guides the RichFaces documentation. My problem is that in Jboss AS the application run perfectly. But in tomcat 5.5 occur org.ajax4jsf.framework.skin.SkinNotFoundException exception.
How do you explain this?
In tomcat, I already tried to change the org.ajax4jsf.SKIN parameter value of "skin/richfaces/celescAzul" for "skin/richfaces/celescAzul.skin.properties" and the exception occur in both situations.
I also tried put de celescAzul.skin.properties file in the directory root of the context of the application and to change the org.ajax4jsf.SKIN parameter value of "skin/richfaces/celescAzul" for "celescAzul", but I did not have success.

I could deploy the application in a JBoss server, but my company desires that the application run in Tomcat or in Oracle Application Server.


It will be that for the Tomcat is necessary to pass the absolute path of the skin file?

[sergeysmirnov]

ok. two questions:

1. where the celescAzul.skin.properties is located?
2. how you declare the skin in the web.xml ?

[rodrigoduarte]

My skin file is located in the follow folders:

root web application folder/skin/richfaces/celescAzul.skin.properties

And web.xml fragment about skin is:

<context-param>
<param-name>org.ajax4jsf.SKIN</param-name>
<param-value>skin/richfaces/celescAzul</param-value>
</context-param>


Is it necessary more some configuration in web.xml?

[sergeysmirnov]

no, that is enough. Having '/' is not allowed in the:

<context-param>
<param-name>org.ajax4jsf.SKIN</param-name>
<param-value>skin/richfaces/celescAzul</param-value>
</context-param>


you should have only:

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

you can put your celescAzul.skin.properties file only in two places:
1. /META-INF/skins/
2. To the root package (but not to the root of web appl)

[rodrigoduarte]

Sergey,

The problem continues occurring.

Which the default path for richfaces's skins, for example, blueSky or classic?

[sergeysmirnov]

their are located in the richfaces-impl-xxxxx.jar inside the /META-INF/skins folder

[alexsmirnov]

Skin properties file looks in the application classpath, not in the web context. The right place is a WEB-INF/classes, or root of any application jar.

[rodrigoduarte]

It's ok now. I placed de skin file in the WEB-INF/classes folder and run perfectly.

Thank you Alexmirnov and Sergey for your help!

Hi,

It would be nice to add this information at the item 5.7.5 of the following link:
