HTML parser is causing exceptions

[amitev]

Hi all! I'm using the build from 22.09. I get exception with

<init-param>
 <param-name>forceparser</param-name>
 <param-value>true</param-value>
 </init-param>

The exception is

ERROR [[Faces Servlet]] Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception

It occur when i perform file download or use seam debug page. I have this problem since 3.1.0. On 3.0.1 everything's fine.

When i turn off the parser (forceparser=false) it works.

This is real bug.
I'm have created issue in JIRA - http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-1006
Thanks.

Hi! I remember in the forum someone have posted that there is a way to specify the parser for a particular view but i don't see such thing in the documentation. Is there such functionality?

I did not find it also :-(. Never.

So this is not true?

We've included this to ajax4jsf 1.1.8.. but seems not merged with current trunc.. So probably we will perform this not earlier than 3.2.0. I think we'll not be able to perform such changes in branch.

It's Alex's sacred mystery.
Such holy mantra is believed to force RichFaces use Tidy filter to process certain view.

Yes I was mistaken. Now found it in the code.. Should work like max describes..
