NoSuchMethodError: org.ajax4jsf.javascript.JSFunction.<init>

[heatherita]

Hi,

I have recently upgraded from JSF 1.1 to JSF 1.2 with RF 3.2.2

When I try to access my application using Apache Tomcat 6.0.13 I get the following exception:

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: org.ajax4jsf.javascript.JSFunction.(Ljava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;)V

------------------

It seems that none of my Rich Faces controls work because Tomcat can't seem to find this

org.ajax4jsf.javascript.JSFunction

Yet, these RF jars are in my WEB-INF/lib:

commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
el-api-1.0.jar
myfaces-api-1.2.4.jar
commons-codec-1.3.jar
el-impl-1.0.jar
myfaces-impl-1.2.4.jar
commons-collections-3.2.jar
ibatis-2.3.3.720.jar
richfaces-api-3.2.2.GA.jar
commons-digester-1.8.jar
jsf-facelets.jar
richfaces-impl-3.2.2.GA.jar
commons-discovery-0.4.jar
jstl-1.2-1.jar
richfaces-ui-3.2.2.GA.jar
commons-lang-2.1.jar
jt400-1.jar
tomahawk-1.1.3.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
log4j.properties

and the "JSFunction" class seems to exist in richfaces-api-3.2.2.GA.jar. Not sure why Tomcat isnt' seeing it.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks,

Have you verified that the old jar files are not "shadowing" the new ones.

If the old jar files are still on the classpath, then there is a high chance that some old classes (possibly missing methods) will be loaded instead of the new classes with the same name.

Hi Anders,

(Tusind tak for svaret......ja jeg taler en del danske....)

It was a good suggestion. I did check for any conflicting jars, but could not locate any.

It seems that in general, I cannot run Apache MyFaces 1.2 and RF 3.2 with IBM WASCE v. 2 (webphere application server community edition). Has anyone had any luck doing this? I have tried this on several occasions and just get NullPointerException.

Or, is it possible to run RF 3.2.x with MyFaces 1.1?

Thanks,

Heather Buch

RF 3.2.x and higher works only under JSF 1.2 (MyFaces 1.2)
