rich:component not found error

[echen1]

I copied the following code from Exadel's live demo site (http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/modalPanel.jsf). I put it into my Seam generated application. Could somebody help me with the issue of "Function 'rich:component' not found"? I copied richfaces-api.jar into the web_inf folder when I noticed it was not there. It is showing in my Eclipse Seam perspective in both EAR libraries and web app libraries subfolders under the libraries folder. Do I need to import it into some java code? Thanks much in advance...

Any JSF content might be inside the panel. In case of using
Facelets or JSF 1.2, it might be any mixed content.
The RichFaces modal panel is good with <a4j:include> to create
a wizard like behavior.
The model panel is open and closed from the javascript function
on Richfaces object. The following code

<a href="#" onclick="#{rich:component('mp')}.hide()">hide this panel:
<f:verbatim>#</f:verbatim>{rich:component('mp')}.hide()
</rich:modalPanel>

Hello,

Can you please clarify what RichFaces version are you using?

[echen1]

I was wondering about that myself. I am using the one that comes with SEAM 2.0.1.GA. Could you let me know how to identify the version? I downloaded SEAM on 2/5/08 if that helps. (btw, does instant reply work? I submitted an instant reply, but did not see it posted.)

[nbelaevski]

Version can be discovered looking into richfaces-*.jar file's manifest or by checking value of org.richfaces.VersionBean.REVISION constant.
Seam 2.0.1.GA comes with 3.1.4 version of RichFaces.

rich-* functions are implemented in 3.2.0 version, they aren't accessible in 3.1.x versions.

P.S. Looks like instant reply is broken, because I can see two posts from you only.

Could you tell me if I need to add richfaces filter to the web.xml file besides the Seam filter for the Rich functions to work? Thank you...

As Nick told you rich:functions works only from 3.2.0 version. Nothing should be added to make them availble.
