prototype.js, jboss portal and rich faces

[speleomaniac]

Hallo everybody,

I have a question, Jboss Portal has a dependency to prototype.js and if I am not completely mistaken rich faces also...

Since

<context-param>
<param-name>org.richfaces.LoadScriptStrategy</param-name>
<param-value>NONE</param-value>
</context-param>

has no effect at portal environment, what happens when we get both prototype.js from JBoss Portal and Richfaces.

I think richfaces always references a newer version of the prototype.js, it is reasonable to think that we would get some unexpected problems from rich faces in portal environment....

Or ?????

We will get all kind of script errors, been there did it :)

We have 2 things to do about it:

1. I've found the problem that prevented richfaces load script strategy setting from working correctly.

More info. and solution are at https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/PBR-63
(You need beta4 bridge and richfaces 3.2.3)

2. It's safe to upgrade portal's JS files to newer version.

Hi,

thx for the answer, can I get this fix for 1.0.B4 over the Maven Repository, I build system depends on it.

And the same question goes for RichFaces 3.2.3.GA is it released?

[alex_krasov]

Richfaces 3.2.3GA is a latest released version.

As for fix for 1.0.B4 - as far as I can see my patch is yet to be integrated by developers, so the jar is a highly unofficial version as of now. I think it'll be better if they apply it on main trunk of 1.0b5 so it can be used instead...
