susantez Nov 9, 2007 5:21 AM

Hi,
i am using Oracle JDeveloper and i want to create an jsf application with richfaces support. i downloaded richfaces-ui-3.1.2.GA-bin.zip and import 3 libraries and common collections to the project.

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1254'?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

seems like styles and classes isn't applied at all. B.t.w. We investigate OC4J server problems right now..

I am having the same issue. I am using JDEV 10.1.3. This also occurs when deployed to an external OC4J. The Style Sheets are downloaded, but they are just empty. Also this seems to effect some of the JavaScript files for things like the ModalPanel component. Some of the JavaScript is missing because the RichFaces.showModalWindow is not available. Has a solution/workaround been determined?

Could you please add server logs to the issue?

That's because Oracle AS not work with xcss, and for fixing this you need to change default xml (oracle.xml) parcer to, parcer can work with it, for examle take XAMP from GlassFish servers.

Sorry, of course it's JAXP not "XAMP", and can be downloaded form here https://jaxp.dev.java.net/, put two files to WEB-INF/libs directory and in JDeveloper go to Project Properties->Run/Debug->Default->Edit->Launch Settings and put to Java Options this : -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
And be happy :)

Is there a procedure to configure an external standalone OC4J to use the JAXP parser?

Yes, you just need to follow this instructions http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/1013/how_to/how-to-swapxmlparser/doc/readme.html
and include jaxp-api.jar & jaxp-ri.jar files instead of oracle.xml while deploying app.

Following these instructions solved the CSS issues in both the internal JDEV and standalone OC4J, however I am still not getting all the proper JavaScript files for each component.

Using the example richfaces demo, I added a ModalPanel to a simple page and I receive, RichFaces.showModalPanel is not a function JavaScript error.... Is this related to the xml parser as well?

I'm having this same problem with standalone OC4J and richfaces. I've registered jaxp as a shared library and removed oracle.xml and redeployed, but I get the following error...

It looks as if it is still attempting to create instances of the oracle parsers
