1. Re: Ajax + Seam Advice
damianharvey Aug 2, 2007 12:15 PM (in response to harpritt)I'm using Ajax4JSF+Richfaces and think that they work well. I particularly like how ajax4jsf can be added to most components to allow for all sorts of ajax interaction. Very little config required as well especially if using projects structure generated by SeamGen.

harpritt Aug 2, 2007 12:29 PM (in response to harpritt)Nice one Damien
I was hoping that there would be less config, i followed the ICEFaces config as detailed in the Seam book by Yuan and co but all i got was16:15:18,093 INFO [Lifecycle] starting up: org.jboss.seam.security.identity 16:15:18,171 WARN [SessionDispatcher] java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError 16:15:18,171 ERROR [ExceptionFilter] uncaught exception javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.ServletException: Session expired at com.icesoft.faces.webapp.http.servlet.MainServlet.service(MainServlet.java:89)
and some poor saps in the same boat at
http://www.icefaces.org/JForum/rss/topicPosts/5108.page
... My project is based on the Ticketing example.
I dont know what richFaces is so i will look it up.
I really wanted to use ICEFaces but i guess that will have to wait for Seam 2.
i have to demo this app next week and the last thing i want is for it to cock up on some ajax..
..... i cant wait for ajax 2..... bring it on baby! -

damianharvey Aug 2, 2007 1:08 PM (in response to harpritt)Richfaces is done by the same guys (and gals?) as Ajax4JSF. They are being merged into one project.
http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/
If you create a SeamGen project and use "seam generate-entities" to create some pages, they will already have both richfaces and ajax4jsf in them. Easy to expand into what you want.
Cheers,

i think ive sorted it... 30 min not bad aye
add this to my web.xml<filter> <display-name>Ajax4jsf Filter</display-name> <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name> <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name> <url-pattern>*.seam</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> <context-param> <param-name>org.ajax4jsf.VIEW_HANDLERS</param-name> <param-value>org.jboss.seam.ui.facelet.SeamFaceletViewHandler</param-value> </context-param> <context-param> <param-name>org.ajax4jsf.SKIN</param-name> <param-value>blueSky</param-value> </context-param>
Disabled the faceletview handler in the faces config<!--view-handler>org.jboss.seam.ui.facelet.SeamFaceletViewHandler</view-handler-->
and added the Ajax4jsf and RichFaces jars to my WAR, and add also added oscache for fun...
and that was it... is it that simple? -

damianharvey Aug 2, 2007 7:08 PM (in response to harpritt)If you are using Seam 2.0.0 Beta then I don't think you even need that config - it's even easier.

tony.herstell1 Aug 2, 2007 11:08 PM (in response to harpritt)I have been using ICEfaces with great success however I moved to Seam 2 and this has totally broken ICEfaces!
The ICEfaces team are working on it as fast as they can but it made your experience of ICEfaces very unpleasant.
ICEfaces have provided a icefaces-seam-gen to the Seam team, which may be merged with seam-gen to allow you to easily create an ICEfaces project.
It really was very easy to work with ICEfaces with Seam in the past.
All the confusion of JSF1.1 Vs 1.2, MyFaces vs SUNRI, RichFaces, ICEfaces, AJAX4JSF etc. has made configuring projects a bit of an art!... -

harpritt Aug 3, 2007 4:00 AM (in response to harpritt)Hi Gents
.... Lol Damian that sound good to me.... when SEAM 2 goes GA ill be there !
Cheers for the reply Tony, i havent given up on ICEFaces just put it on the back burner until i have some more time to mess about with configuration - the experience was not unpleasant its all learning at the end of the day.
"All the confusion of JSF1.1 Vs 1.2, MyFaces vs SUNRI, RichFaces, ICEfaces, AJAX4JSF etc. has made configuring projects a bit of an art!... "
...... agreed.....
I took a break from coding for about 1.5 years and coming back to find Seam, JSF, ICEFases, Ajax4JSF is brilliant i dont know where to look what to try...... really really reall cool stuff.
