JBoss 4.2.1 - Rich Faces - Demo program -

[easmith]

I am having no luck using RichFaces. I would like to use RichFaces or some variation of AJAX4JSF, I am getting an error on the app start up whenever I have tried typing in examples, or when I have tried downloading and running examples.

Has anyone had any luck with RichFaces 3.1.2 with Jboss 4.2.1? I would like to use this with Jsp, and not using seam. Has anyone had any luck with this configuration?

I downloaded an example war from this site. It claimed to work with JBoss 4.2

When I deployed it got the following error on start up.

Remove el-api.jar and el-impl.jar from your application.
In the Jboss 4.2 , there libraries provided by container.
Also, you can't use JSF JSP pages in the Jboss 4.2, as far as it contain Tomcat 5.5 container, but JSF requred Servlet 2.5 container.

The el-api.jar and el-impl.jar files are only in the ../default/lib directory. I presume they should stay in there. They are not in the application war file.

JSF/JSP seems to work ok for me in JBoss 4.2.1 I only have a problem when the application starts up after I add the richfaces jar files in the web-inf/lib and add the richfaces filter in the web.xml
