RF 3.1 + myfaces 1.1.4 view rendering issues

enewett Sep 14, 2007 11:00 AM

I've been using RF 3.0.1 in a project for a few weeks without problems. After upgrading to RF 3.1.0 by simply replacing the jars, no components are being rendered in the view (the output HTML simply excludes any non-HTML tags).

I'm using myfaces 1.1.4 on jboss 4.0.4.ga.

To eliminate possible causes, I've replaced my web.xml with the one in the developer guide's "Getting Started" section, tried to hit the echo.jsp example, and got the exact same results - nothing present in in the output HTML within the body tag. The only log entries from the page request are at DEBUG level:

1. Re: RF 3.1 + myfaces 1.1.4 view rendering issues

I don't know if the following is the actual problem, but it is important.

JBoss 4.0.3 and later adds a jsf-lib directory containing myfaces libs by default. See the JBoss WIKI on this subject.

Make sure only Sun RI or myfaces JSF are in your classpath (not both).

Clear all tmp and work caches when you make major lib changes.

Thanks, I think I found the problem. I'm actually using maven to pull in richfaces-ui-3.1.0 and it has a transitive dependency on the Sun RI implementation. I didn't notice until now that jsf-impl is in my classpath. From the dependencies report:

Dependency Tree * mygroup:myartifact:war o org.richfaces.ui:richfaces-ui:jar + javax.faces:jsf-api:jar + javax.faces:jsf-impl:jar + org.richfaces.framework:richfaces-impl:jar # org.richfaces.framework:richfaces-api:jar

This seems to be getting included by richfaces/ui/pom.xml. Is there a reason it depends directly on the Sun RI implementation?

enewett Sep 14, 2007 12:45 PM (in response to enewett)

For maven + myfaces RF 3.1 users, this seems to be the best way currently to include RichFaces 3.1.0 in your pom.xml:

 <dependency>
 <groupId>org.richfaces.ui</groupId>
 <artifactId>richfaces-ui</artifactId>
 <version>3.1.0</version>
 <exclusions>
 <exclusion>
 <groupId>javax.faces</groupId>
 <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
 </exclusion>
 <exclusion>
 <groupId>javax.faces</groupId>
 <artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId>
 </exclusion>
 </exclusions>
 </dependency>
