Try to log errors with Log4J...
I can't attach my "demo" project... is 30mb.

Larry,

I've tried to run richfaces-demo under MyFaces 1.2.4 - datascroller works ok. Can you please check server logs for full stack trace of the issue to see who is trying to access that property?

[larry1976]

again... hi to all !!
no way to see something on my tomcat logs.
Here you can find a eclipse DEMO project, with all my libraries.
(hibernate is configured on a mysql database "test" user "root" password "")

https://www.yousendit.com/download/Y2orQmtaYUlEa1ZjR0E9PQ

It's seems like a faces "debug" message, but is very nasty... see it every time!! :(

And other question for this demo project is... how can i change JSF state saving method from "client" to "server" ?!...

[nbelaevski]

Hi,

I've fixed the problem with datascroller, it will appear in latest 3.3.0 snapshots; you can change log4j level to info to avoid these messages.

Use:

<context-param>
 <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
 <param-value>server</param-value>
 </context-param>

or

<context-param>
 <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
 <param-value>client</param-value>
 </context-param>

respectively.

Hi nbelaevski,
with the 3.3.0 snapshots & future releases... this "error" message disappear?... Cool ... :)

Now i'm trying to configure the STATE_SAVING_METHOD to "server" for my real application, the demo work fine (in this case i've only to change the param value)...
The application use "Sessions" for authenticate users, after the login i receive an ViewExpiredException...
It's seems that is a common issue of configuration of a PhaseListener... but i'm not able to solve it... someone have an idea?
The problem don't exist if the STATE_SAVING_METHOD is "client".

[nbelaevski]

That can happen if you cleaned saved view states stored in session. How do you get this issue? Please post the related code.
