Configuring richfaces/ajax4jsf with seam 2.0?

[dhinojosa]

How hard does it have to be to configure richfaces/ajax4jsf with seam 2.0?

This is nuts now....

My setup

In my war file (relevant info only):

In my ear file (relevant info only):

In my application.xml file (relevant info only):

 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

In my components.xml (relevant info only)

<web:ajax4jsf-filter force-parser="true"
 enable-cache="true"
 log4j-init-file="custom-log4j.xml"
 url-pattern="*.xhtml"/>

I do not set up the filter explicitly in the web.xml because the documentation says so. Now I get 'a4j not defined' in the browser, any help is appreciated. ;)

You don't need the a4j filter in components.xml

Here is an example of a properly set up web.xml

(You are missing the Seam Listener)

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

Other than that, your packaging looks ok

[dhinojosa]

Well goddamn, I feel moist!
