    Richfaces within Portlet working but NOT Ajax !

    bjoernb

      Hey guys !
      I'm running into big trouble ! I'm trying to implement richfaces into portlets within the JBoss portal. I already solved the Servlet.service() error by editing the following src file decribed here https://jsfportletbridge.dev.java.net/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/8/crt-issue-20.txt.

      After that all richfaces features are working except the AJAX features !!
      I always get an "A4J not defined" from the IE and the Firefox!
      So i tried the solution which the following thread describes:
      http://jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=115538&start=10

      But when I'm trying to do this I get the following error message:

      javax.portlet.PortletException: Error processing execute lifecycle

      So I'll post here the configuration of my working Richfaces-Portlet configuration which will get the "A4J not defined" error in hope someone can help me with that.

      Thanks for any kind of input :)

      i'm working with
      jboss portal 2.6.2 GA bundled
      richfaces 3.1.2 GA
      jsf-portlet.jar (With Modified File FacesContextFactoryImpl.java and New File ServletContextHandler.java)
      commons-digester-1.8.jar and commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar

      My configuration so far is as following:

      index.jsp

      <%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/a4j" prefix="a4j"%>
      <%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/rich" prefix="rich"%>
      <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
      <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
      
      <%@ page import="javax.portlet.*"%>
      <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet" prefix="portlet"%>
      
      <portlet:defineObjects />
      <f:view>
       <rich:separator height="1" style="10px 0"/>
       <h:panelGrid columns="2" width="100%" columnClasses="col">
       <h:panelGroup>
       This code does not work as expected. The expected echo text does not appear
       below even the condition for <code>'renderer'</code> returns <code>true</code>.
       Also, the error message does not appear when the length of the text reaches the limit.
       </h:panelGroup>
       <h:panelGroup>
       This code works properly. The <code>h:message</code> is marked for update during
       each Ajaxrequest/response. The place for bottom label is reserved with
       <code>outputPanel</code> while the component is not rendered.
       </h:panelGroup>
       <a4j:outputPanel layout="block">
       <h:message for="text1" style="color:red" />
       <a4j:outputPanel layout="block">
       <h:form>
       <h:outputText value="Enter Text:"/>
       <h:inputText id="text1" label="text1" value="#{rsBean.text1}">
       <f:validateLength maximum="10"/>
       <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="out1" />
       </h:inputText>
       </h:form>
       </a4j:outputPanel>
       <h:outputText id="out1" rendered="#{not empty rsBean.text1}" value="Approved Text: #{rsBean.text2}" />
       </a4j:outputPanel>
       <a4j:outputPanel layout="block">
       <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
       <h:message for="text2" style="color:red" />
       </a4j:outputPanel>
       <a4j:outputPanel layout="block">
       <h:form>
       <h:outputText value="Enter Text:"/>
       <h:inputText id="text2" label="text1" value="#{rsBean.text2}">
       <f:validateLength maximum="10"/>
       <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="out2" />
       </h:inputText>
       </h:form>
       </a4j:outputPanel>
       <a4j:outputPanel layout="none">
       <h:outputText id="out2" rendered="#{not empty rsBean.text2}" value="Approved Text: #{rsBean.text2}" />
       </a4j:outputPanel>
       </a4j:outputPanel>
       </h:panelGrid>
       <rich:separator height="1" style="10px 0"/>
