    RichFaces with JSF RI 1.1

      Hi,
      I have a web application thats running on JBoss 4.0.5. I wanted to integrate RichFaces libraries and added them to WEB-INF/lib and the build path in Eclipse and did a build and deployed. This is before modifying web.xml to include the richfaces filters. When I try to login on my app it throws the following exception:

      java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Boolean
       javax.faces.component.html.HtmlGraphicImage.restoreState(HtmlGraphicImage.java:665)

      I added the following entries to the deployment descriptor:

      <param-value>blueSky</param-value>

      <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
      <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
      <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
      </filter-mapping>
      


      It's throwing the same exception.

      Any help is appreciated,
      Thanks,

        • 1. Re: RichFaces with JSF RI 1.1

          it is a jboss cache problem, most likely. Try to clean up tmp/work

            Sergey,

            I cleared the folders tmp/work with no luck.
            Any other ideas please!

            Thanks for your help,

              No other ideas. Should work.

              P.S. I hope you do not try 3.2.0

              • 4. Re: RichFaces with JSF RI 1.1

                I tried it with 3.1.4, 3.1.2SP1 and I see the same behavior.

                The web.xml looks like:

                • 5. Re: RichFaces with JSF RI 1.1

                  according to you stack trace, you have both Sun's JSF RI and shipped with JBoss 4.0.5 MyFaces JSF. Most likely, the problem you face relates to conflict between those two implementations running simultaneously.
                  You have nothing wrong with RichFaces from the configuration point of view.

                  • 6. Re: RichFaces with JSF RI 1.1

                    Thats what I too thought. I removed the myfaces component completely and any references to it and tried it again.

                    The exception is the same even though the stacktrace has changed a bit this time:

                    • 7. Re: RichFaces with JSF RI 1.1

                      do you have other JSF applications deployed at the same jboss ?

                      • 8. Re: RichFaces with JSF RI 1.1

                        Yeah. They work fine. Even this application works ok when I remove the richfaces libraries from WEB-INF/lib

                        • 9. Re: RichFaces with JSF RI 1.1

                          Refer to the Jboss doc how to solve problem with classloader.

                          • 10. Re: RichFaces with JSF RI 1.1

                            Thanks for the pointer. I went through the wiki pages about class loading and added the following as recommended

                            <class-loading>
                             <loader-repository java2ClassLoadingCompliance="false">
                             com.mycompany:archive=myapp
                             <loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config>
                             </loader-repository>
                             </class-loading>
                            


                            It shows another form of error:

                              You need to have a apache commons-collections.jar version 3.2 . This class is from there.
                              So, two possible problems:
                              1) wrong version of the commons-collections
                              2) still a problem with classpath
