Hash is not a constructor

[bostone]

I'm using latest Richfaces 3.2.0.SR1 release in myfaces/facelets app. All pages are XHTML. I tried rich modal panel and it works just fine. However when I try to put a simpleTogglePanel anywhere on the page it is rendered OK but I see the following error message in the firebug

Hash is not a constructor
http://localhost:8080/namsNG/a4j_3_2_0.SR1-SNAPSHOTorg.ajax4jsf.javascript.PrototypeScript.faces

[Break on this error] return toQueryPair(key,values);}).join('&');},inspect:function(){return'#<Hash:{...
Line 57

Then if I click on toggle icon it issues another error (and it doesn't hide the panel)

this.panels.get(panelId) has no properties
http://localhost:8080/namsNG/a4j_3_2_0.SR1-SNAPSHOTscripts/simpleTogglePanel.js.faces

[Break on this error] SimpleTogglePanelManager.toggleOnClient=function(event,panelId){this.panels.get(...

Here's panel code

<rich:simpleTogglePanel id="addRolesPanel" switchType="client" label="Assign Roles and Groups">
 Blah
 </rich:simpleTogglePanel>

OK, I know what the issue is. The page was already using prototype.js, so after removing script tag link to the prototype.js simple panel works as advertised. However, my JS code that was relying on prototype.js is now broken. For example, I see this error:

Class is not defined
var Validator = Class.create();

The version of prototype.js I'm using is 1.5.0_rc2 from scriptaculous distribution.
Can you guys point to some documentation or just simply explain how to migrate my existing prototype code to not clash with richfaces?

If anyone interested - It seems that simply providing a namespace for richfaces is not enough to load JS files. My stuff started working again after I:
1. Removed old script tag that was loading prototype.js
2. Placed at least one richfaces tag onto page (like rich:panel)
Voila - my old scripts came back to life

Richfaces loads script on-demand. No components to use it, no loading.


However, you load the script explicitly if needs.

See: http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/script.jsf

Try src="resource://prototype.js"

Thanks, I was looking at that. But since I'm planing on adding rich components to all my pages this shouldn't be an issue anyway
