JSF with RichFaces and Ajax4jsf

[marwej]

Hi,

I'm trying to learn JSF with RichFaces and Ajax4jsf. For some reason, when adding RichFaces 3.1.2 GA and Ajax4jsf 1.1.1 the server won't start and I get the following exeption in the log. In ResourceBuilderImpl the file META-INF/resources-config.xml is accessed. I don't have such a file but don't think I must.

Does anyone know what could be the reason for this? Any help is appreciated!

Cheers,
Marcus

Ajax for JSF is already included in Richfaces 3.1.2 GA. You only need the three richfaces JARs. Delete the A4J Jar from the lib directory.

@JBoss staff members: That seems to be one of the top ten beginner misunderstandings, or am I wrong? So please explain this everywhere (for example in the download section) in big letters ;-)
