Richfaces 3.1 --> Prototype.Browser has no properties

[supernovasoftware.com]

I am getting the following error when opening a modal panel with RF 9/11 Snapshot.

Googling suggests that I should be using Prototype 1.5.1 and looking at

/a4j_3_1_0-SNAPSHOTorg.ajax4jsf.javascript.PrototypeScript

I see

var Prototype={Version:'1.5.1.1' Browser:{IE:!!(window.attachEvent&&!window.opera),Opera:!!window.opera,WebKit:navigator.userAgent.indexOf('AppleWebKit/')>-1,Gecko:navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Gecko')>-1&&navigator.userAgent.indexOf('KHTML')==-1},BrowserFeatures:{XPath:!!document.evaluate,ElementExtensions:!!window.HTMLElement,SpecificElementExtensions:(document.createElement('div').__proto__!==document.createElement('form').__proto__)},ScriptFragment:'<script[^>]*>([\\S\\s]*?)<\/script>',JSONFilter:/^\/\*-secure-([\s\S]*)\*\/\s*$/,emptyFunction:function(){},K:function(x){return x}}
var Class={create:function(){return function(){this.initialize.apply(this,arguments);}}}
var Abstract=new Object();Object.extend=function(destination,source){for(var property in source){destination[property]=source[property];}
return destination;}

...

I have tried CTRL F5 and clearing my cache.

Is this a know problem or just a problem with my enviroment?

I have similar issue

Line 238
Browser.Prototype.IE is null or not an object

Notes

Modal Dialogue on page, but closed. Removal of the modal dialogue, gets rid of the error.

Offending JSF:

<a4j:commandLink reRender="chart">
<a4j:actionparam id="chrtIdx" name="idx" value="${algoSummary.idx}" assignTo="${algoSummary.idx}" />Chart</a4j:commandLink>

OK, I had a reference to an older version of prototype on my site... ...r3emoval of that seems to have fixed that bug. now I need to regression test

Similar bugs was solved in GA release.

For the testing purpose, try to add somewhere on the page:

<script> alert(Prototype.Version);</script>

What it says?

1.4.0

Bad news. You have other Prototype.js loaded instead of one shipped with RichFaces 3.1.0.

Otherwise, the alert should show 1.5.1.1

is there any workaround for the problem Im facing. by the way
Im using richfaces 3.1.0 together with tomahawk 1.1.6.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you sure that very old prototypes comes from tomahawk ?
Does anybody else who met this problem use tomahawk also?

[supernovasoftware.com]

Yes. I removed

<!-- Tomahawk -->
 <filter>
 <filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
 <filter-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.filter.ExtensionsFilter</filter-class>
 </filter>
 <filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
 </filter-mapping>
 <filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
 <url-pattern>/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/*</url-pattern>
 </filter-mapping>

And it began to work. I saw this was the problem because the filter was adding this for their calendar.

I did not have this problem with 3.0.2.

Tomoahawk is version 1.1.6.jar

[sergeysmirnov]

Ok. Thank you for your exploration. We will figure out is it possible to illuminate this conflict in the future.

3.0.2 had Prototype 1.5.0 inside.
3.1.0 has been released with latest 1.5.1.1 . Conflict happens because the old Prototype did not see the Prototype.Browser() function that was introduced later.

I think it will be great idea if you apply the same resolution you did here:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-401.

Even I would suggest you to do this for every static JS file (I'm not sure how many are), making them dynamic (serve them dynamically, even when they aren't) only to avoid this kind of distribution problems, when new versions are released.

¿What do you think?
