Anyone used Prototip 2 with RichFaces?

[chris.simons]

Prototip 2 is a very slick tooltip library based on Prototype 1.6.2.

I know RichFaces uses Prototype but I'm wondering if the versions will be compatible. Has anyone tried Prototip 2 with RichFaces and can provide any comments?

Thanks.

Just an update...

Prototip 2 requires the prototype.js version 1.6.02. RichFaces 3.2 comes bundled with prototype.js version 1.6.0. Is there any way to "re-package" RichFaces" with the upgraded prototype.js and add in the RichFaces custom code? Or perhaps there is a way to replace the version used by RichFaces?

chris.simons,

I tried to use prototype api imported by RichFaces, but without success.

I've been using prototype-1.6.0.2.js with RichFaces 3.2.1.GA for days and everything seems to be working well.

I simply import prototype into my jsp page:

<script src="<base href>/js/prototype-1.6.0.2.js " />

Maybe there is other way more interesting using a RichFaces tag or configuration ....

rhancke,

So you were able to import prototype-1.6.02 without conflicting with RichFaces' version of Prototype? Have you tried using any particular RichFaces components? I ask because I the Prototype.js that comes bundled with RichFaces has some custom code, so I'm wondering if by including prototype-1.6.02 you would conflicting with the RichFaces version of prototype.

But that's great you got Prototip 2 to work - I might have to give it another shot.

Thanks!

chris.simons,

Until that, no conflicts have happened.
I'm using many of RichFaces components, like listShuttle, dataTable, menu, modalPanel, ... beyond some of a4j tags.

Again, I don't know if this is the more interesting way to use the most recent version of prototype.
