Error in ProcessValidationsPhase in Richfaces Suggestionbox

[spparikh]

I am trying to use Richfaces 3.1.2 suggestionbox with Trinidad 1.0.2 and I am having issues. I have a Trinidad table in which I put the Richfaces suggestionbox. The code is as below:



<tr:table var="row"
value="#{PropertyManagementProcessBean.itemList}"
id="propertytable" width="100%" emptyText="#{prop.nodatafound}"
binding="#{PropertyManagementProcessBean.uixTable}">
<tr:column align="center" headerText="#{prop.item}" width="30%">
<h:outputText value="#{row.propItem.propItemName}" />
</tr:column>
<tr:column align="center" headerText="#{prop.description}"
width="40%">
<h:inputText value="#{row.description}" />
</tr:column>
<tr:column align="center" headerText="#{prop.quantity}"
width="30%">
<h:inputText value="#{row.quantity}" />
</tr:column>
</tr:table>
<tr:table var="row1"
value="#{PropertyManagementProcessBean.newItemList}"
width="100%"
binding="#{PropertyManagementProcessBean.uixNewItemsTable}">
<tr:column align="center" width="30%">
<h:inputText value="#{row1.propItemName}" id="text" />
<rich:suggestionbox width="20" height="20" for="text" var="result"
id="suggestionBoxId" ajaxSingle="true" selfRendered="true"
suggestionAction="#{PropertyManagementProcessBean.getSuggestedPropItems}">
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{result}"></h:outputText>
</h:column>
</rich:suggestionbox>
</tr:column>
<tr:column align="center" width="40%">
<h:inputText value="#{row1.description}" />
</tr:column>
<tr:column align="center" width="30%">
<h:inputText value="#{row1.quantity}" />
</tr:column>
</tr:table>


When I enter a character in the textbox and suggestionbox tries to grab the list of suggestions, it throws and error in ProcessValidation phase of Faces lifecycle.

Any help is appreciated.

Even if a I remove the suggestionbox , the error persists if i have richfaces jars and richfaces filter in web.xml. It seems like a trinidad and richfaces compatibility issue. I also tried putting in a4j-trinidad.jar but no change. My web.xml looks like :

Please let me know if i am missing something in the configuration.

[spparikh]

Here are the jars i am using:

richfaces-api-3.2.1.SP1.jar
richfaces-imp-3.2.1.SP1.jar
richfaces-ui-3.2.1.SP1.jar
a4j-trinidad.jar
trinidad-api-1.0.1.jar
trinidad-impl-1.0.1.jar
oscache-2.3.2.jar

and other spring and hibernate and other jars.

[spparikh]

Actually i found that the moment i put in richfaces jars and even if i dont have any richfaces code in the page, it gives me this error. May be it is something to do with the compatiblity between Richfaces and trinidad. I tried using a4j-trinidad.jar but no success.
