    RichFaces 3.1.6 on OC4J 10.1.3

    scattie

      Hello,

      I've been been trying to develop a simple application using RichFaces on the OC4J 10.1.3, but I'm having some problems. I've been trying to get this going for 3 days now, but no luck yet.

      Since I'm using OC4J 10.1.3 and this server does not support JSF 1.2 yet, I've had to resort to RichFaces 3.1.6. However, I can't get a simple form going. The page does seem to display correctly, but whenever I click my submit button, the page just seems to redirect to itself, not even entering the action of the backing bean. Really frustrating, because I can't seem to locate the source of the problem.


      This is my login page:

      <%@ page contentType="text/html"%>
      <%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/a4j" prefix="a4j"%>
      <%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/rich" prefix="rich"%>
      <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
      <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
      <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
      
      <f:view>
      <html>
      <head>
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/tmm.css" type="text/css" >
      <title>Login</title>
      </head>
      <body>
      
      <rich:panel id="Content_Panel" >
      <f:facet name="header">
      <h:outputText id="Out_Login" value="Please login"/>
      </f:facet>
      
      <h:form>
      <h:panelGrid id="Content_Grid" columns="2">
      
      <h:outputText value="User name:" />
      <h:inputText id="username" value="#{tmSession.username}"/>
      <h:outputText value="User password:"/>
      <h:inputSecret id="psswd" value="#{tmSession.psswd}"/>
      <h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{tmSession.logIn}"/>
      
      </h:panelGrid>
      </h:form>
      </rich:panel>
      
      </body>
      </html>
       </f:view>
      



      The backing bean:

      package com.xplanation.tm.client.web.maintenance.bean;
      
      public class TmSessionBean {
      
       private String username;
       private String psswd;
       private boolean loggedIn;
      
       public TmSessionBean() {
       System.out.println("CREATED TM SESSION");
       }
      
       public String getUsername() {
       System.out.println("GET username");
       return username;
       }
      
       public void setUsername(String username) {
       System.out.println("SET username: " + username);
       this.username = username;
       }
      
       public String getPsswd() {
       System.out.println("GET psswd");
       return psswd;
       }
      
       public void setPsswd(String psswd) {
       System.out.println("SET psswd: " + psswd);
       this.psswd = psswd;
       }
      
       public boolean isLoggedIn() {
       return loggedIn;
       }
      
       public String logIn() {
       System.out.println("LOG IN");
       loggedIn = true;
       return "loginSuccess";
       }
      }
      


      When the page loads, it prints:
      CREATED TM SESSION
      GET username
      GET psswd
      When I click the login button, it just prints the two GETs again while I get redirected to my login page!

      The libs included with my WAR file are the following:
      - commons-beanutils-1.7.jar
      - commons-collections-3.2.jar
      - commons-digester-1.8.jar
      - commons-el.jar
      - commons-logging-1.1.jar
      - el-api.jar
      - jsf-api.jar (1.1_01)
      - jsf-impl.jar (1.1_01)
      - jstl.jar
      - mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar
      - oraclexsql.jar
      - richfaces-api-3.1.6.GA.jar
      - richfaces-impl-3.1.6.GA.jar
      - richfaces-ui-3.1.6.GA.jar
      - standard.jar
      - xercesImpl.jar


      Please, if anyone has any idea with might be the problem...
      I've searched the net but I have not found anyone with a similar problem. According to the documentation of RichFaces 3.1.6, it is supposed to work on OC4J, but I cannot get it to.

      Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks!

      Best regards,

          Hrm. I think it's the libraries...

          Can someone detail me exactly what libraries I need to get RichFaces up and running on an OC4J 10.1.3.1.0? Or point me to a resource that details this?

          I'm guessing these are a given:
          - JSF 1.1_01: jsf-api.jar, jsf-impl.jar
          - RichFaces 3.1.6: richfaces-api-3.1.6.GA.jar, richfaces-impl-3.1.6.GA.jar, richfaces-ui-3.1.6.GA.jar
          - Apache Xerces 2.9.1 (to replace the default Oracle XML parser): xercesImpl.jar

          But what others?
          I also need JTSL, but what version? I think I also need some of those Apache Commons libs, but which exactly and what version?
          Do I also need the el-api.jar? Where on earth do I download that, by the way?

          Does anyone have experience with using RichFaces on OC4J? If so, I'd appreciate it if you'd share your experience. Thanks!

          Stijn

            Now, this is strange.

            I get the following in the output of the server:

            26-jun-2008 11:40:05 com.sun.faces.util.Util createInstance
            SEVERE: Can't instantiate class: org.ajax4jsf.application.AjaxStateManager'.:org.ajax4jsf.application.AjaxStateManager:exception:null
            


            When I browse to the page, I see a stacktrace:

            oracle.classloader.util.AnnotatedNoClassDefFoundError:
            
             Ontbrekende klasse: org.apache.commons.collections.map.LRUMap

            It can't find LRUMap? When I check, the class missing is contained in the commons-collections.jar library. But that library is included in the WAR file!

            These libs are now in the WEB-INF/lib folder:
            - commons-beanutils.jar
            - commons-collections.jar
            - commons-digester.jar
            - commons-logging.jar
            - el-api.jar
            - jsf-api.jar (1.1_01)
            - jsf-impl.jar (1.1_01)
            - jstl.jar (1.0)
            - mysql-connector.jar
            - richfaces-api-3.1.6.GA.jar
            - richfaces-ui-3.1.6.GA.jar
            - richfaces-impl-3.1.6.GA.jar
            - xercesImpl.jar (2.9.1)
            - xml-apis.jar

            The 4 Apache Commons libraries come from the JSF 1.1_01 zip I download from Sun.
            *sigh*
            All this trial and error and getting nowhere is becoming frustrating...

              You've said at a blog (http://javanotepad.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-problems-putting-richfaces-to-work.html) that rich:messages and a4j:log won't give useful information. That's the first thing to double-check (IMHO).

              Second one is configuration. I think you have something wrong at your web.xml. This isn't wanted (since you're also mapping richfaces filter):

              <filter-mapping>
              <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
              <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
              FORWARD
              REQUEST
              INCLUDE
              </filter-mapping>

                Hello!

                Thanks for your reply.
                I've done as you asked, and removed the stuff from the web.xml, but it didn't change anything.
                I did however change the h:commandbutton of the form into an a4j:commandbutton, which made the a4j:log output some stuff.

                    It's clear response doesn't content what it should...

                    Try putting f:view inside body instead around everything, and putting ids to every JSF component (JSF 1.1 has known problems on automatic id generation).

                      Hmm. Still no luck.
                      The page looks like this now:

                      It still does nada, but the output of the a4j:log has changed slightly.

                        Well, you've gotten a warn instead of an error, that's a huge leap ahead! :)

                        That's the common warning when server is not rendering the region that should be updated.

                        The only relevant difference between your web.xml and mine is I turn forceParser off:

                        <display-name>RichFaces Filter</display-name>
                        <filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>
                        <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
                        <init-param>
                        <param-name>forceparser</param-name>
                        <param-value>false</param-value>
                        </init-param>



                        Try and see..

                        I use SJSAS 8.2 and web I update web.xml restarting's not enough, I must do a redeploy, maybe OC4J has the same liimitation...

                        Is there any complilation error/warning, or any server message on startup?

                        Does a common h:commandButton inside a h:form works?

                          No luck: :-S
                          I restarted the server: nothing.
                          I added your extra parameter and redeployed: nothing.
                          I restarted the server again, for good measure: still nothing.

                          But yes, at least we're moving ahead. :-)

                          As a matter of fact, I do have a warning in the server output:

                          I've been trying to find what causes it, but again, haven't found anything yet.
                          Nothing else is printed on the server, besides this:

                          Don't really know what that is, looks like informative spam to me. :-P

                          And no, an h:commandbutton in an h:form doesn't work either. It's what I had first, if you look at my very first post.
                          I do notice a difference though, between using the h:commandbutton and the a4j:commandbutton.
                          When I use the h:commandbutton, the entire page seems to get refreshed, and the System.outs I put in the GET-methods are printed. When I use the a4j:commandbutton, only the a4j:log seems to update, and no System.outs are printed.
                          But I reckon that's intended behavior? That the a4j only updates part of your page through JS?

                          As you might notice, I'm rather new to JSF. ;-)

                            Despite this, the form still won't submit. *sigh*
                            I am really wondering where this error lies. Does it have something to do with the message I get on the server?
                            com.sun.faces.config.rules.ComponentRule end
                            WARNING: [ComponentRule]{faces-config/component} Merge(javax.faces.ViewRoot)


                            But, I really appreciate all your help. :-)
                            I really believe in this technology, so I want to make it work...
                            Any other suggestions, or things I might try?

                              You might be new to JSF but not to this world, since you give many useful information =D

                              When I began with this I tried to make MyFaces + Tomahawk + Sandbox + Facelets + A4J + RichFaces (they weren't the same) + Spring + Hibernate at the same time, and the learnt lesson was you MUST go step by step.

                              It seems JSF is not working at all. I'd first make plain JSF work. Adding RichFaces then will be seamless ;) I'd start from scratch and make it work.

                              I'd like to be more helpful, sorry

                                Ha.
                                Well, what d'you know...

                                I downgraded from RichFaces 3.1.6 to 3.1.5, and now it actually does what I expect to. It enters the backing bean and redirects to the appropriate page. Awesome.

                                Strange though, that it would work with 3.1.5 and not with 3.1.6...
                                Is there any reason why I'd want 3.1.6 instead of 3.1.5?

                                Regards,
                                Stijn

                                  WTF??? It's certainly surprising (even more than Spain winning Euro, ooeoeoeoe =D).

                                  I've just upgraded and I have seen not such behaviour. 3.1.6 should've been just a maintenance release...

                                    Yeah, congrats on that, by the way. A well earned and long overdue victory for the Spanish team. :-)

                                    Anyway, yeah, strange stuff. Maybe there's some discrepancy between the RF 3.1.6 libs and those on the OC4J server? Or maybe I have a configuration error somewhere, and 3.1.5 is less strict then 3.1.6? Who knows...
                                    This stuff is extremely hard to debug, as you get no feedback from the application whatsoever.

                                    But it's working now. I'm perfectly happy with using the 3.1.5 libs, instead of 3.1.6.

                                    Thanks for all your help!
