Unable to compile class for JSP

blinkybill Jun 6, 2008 4:07 AM

Very basic issue likely here but cannae figure what is causing it - driving me crazy! Other basic RF stuff seems to be working fine but here seems to be throing up at the use of a basic facet tag????

Getting the following when trying to simply render a page that looks fine within visual design view inside eclipse...

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:

An error occurred at line: 16 in the jsp file: /tables.jsp
The method setName(String) in the type FacetTag is not applicable for the arguments (JspValueExpression)
13:
14: <rich:dataTable >
15: <h:column>
16: <f:facet name="header">
17: <h:outputText value="City Name" />
18: </f:facet>
19: <h:outputText value="blah" />

And full source for the page is as follows (note its just a hack page to start playing with RF tables):

<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/a4j" prefix="a4j"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/rich" prefix="rich"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>

<html>
<head>
<title>repeater</title>
</head>
<body>
 <f:view>
 <h:outputText value="Example #1. Simple Table" />

 <rich:dataTable >
 <h:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="City Name" />
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="blah" />
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="Meals" />
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="25" />
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="Transport" />
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="blah" />
 </h:column>
 </rich:dataTable>
 </f:view>
</body>

</html>

Note: using eclipse 3.3.2 with RF 3.2.1 and JSF 1.2_04-b16-p02

seems that some wrong libraries inside your web-inf/lib of the project. You want to tell that if you remove RF and just use h:dataTable on the page all works fine?

Thanks ilya - your suggestion got me on the right track - and found out the endorsed approach for jsf 1.2 is to have the jsf libs all in webinf/lib ie. never in the appserver lib. Changing to that fixed my problem
