Commons Digester needed for RichFaces?

[grimholtz]

Hi,

I've installed richfaces into a new application as described in chapter 3 of the richfaces developer's guide. I get the following exception:

...Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.commons.digester.Digester
 at org.ajax4jsf.resource.ResourceBuilderImpl.registerConfig(ResourceBuilderImpl.java:159)

Nowhere in the guide does it say I need Commons Digester. I get the same error for Commons Collections. The guide makes no mention of Commons Collections, either. When I open the three richfaces jars, I don't see org.apache.commons.* classes.

How are these classes supposed to be resolved at runtime?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know

But Commons Collections 3.2 I added to avoid errors like that you describe. (NoClassDefF...) The previous version that I had wasn't working.

There's a deployabe .war (of LiveDemo)... you can download and take a look inside it!!

As a programmer... if the containner/compiler complains to need "that library"... won't hurt if you supply

Good Luck!!

I know that MyFaces requires Digester, so perhaps that's why you're hitting this. You don't say what JSF impl you're using.

Sun RI. I doesn't require Digester. RichFaces does, though. If you look at the source for org.ajax4jsf.resource.ResourceBuilderImpl, you can see that org.apache.commons.digester.Digester is included.

I really wish the manual enumerated all jars that are required.
