<s:link> tags not being rendered

[jbenilov]

Hi,

I'm working with the hibernate2 example from the Seam 2.0.0 CVS HEAD (today's). I have more or less succeeded in getting it to run on Tomcat 5.5; however my problem is that the <s:link> tags seem to be ignored by the Seam filter. Here is a snippet of the produced code:

<div class="notes"><s:link id="register" view="/register.xhtml" value="Register New User"></s:link></div>

I've had to make changes to my web.xml file in order to work around some other problems. Here it is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this problem?

I don't understand the problem.

I´m facing the same problem. My links don´t work

[jbenilov]

To clarify the problem:

when I access the page that I am working on, the links that are designated with the s:link Facelets tag have not been rendered.

An inspection of the received HTML shows that the s:link tags have not been translated into real HTML tags, and remain as the s:link tag, which the browser ignores obviously. This is what I meant when I referred to "filter", because I'm guessing that it's the Seam filter's job to take the Facelets tags and translate them into HTML tags; for some reason, this isn't happening with my setup.

Thanks for your help,
Jake

No nothing to do with the filter. You've probably forgotten to declare the s: namespace at the top of your facelet (and make sure the jboss-seam-ui.jar is in WEB-INF/lib in your deployed project).

Pete,

Thanks for those tips; I was indeed missing the jboss-seam-ui.jar.
