Hello All,

             I am using rich faces with Jsf in myEclipse IDE. But the following exception comes to me.

I have the following jars:

1. commons-beanutils.jar
2. commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
3. commons-digester.jar
4. commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
5. richfaces-api-3.3.2.SR1.jar
6. richfaces-impl-3.3.2.SR1.jar
7. richfaces-ui-3.3.2.SR1.jar

And in web.xml, I have these lines.

    <!-- Plugging the "Blue Sky" skin into the project -->
<context-param>
   <param-name>org.richfaces.SKIN</param-name>
   <param-value>blueSky</param-value>

WELL THIS CONFIGURATION WORKS IN NETBEANS BUT NOT IN MYECLIPSE. Can anyone tell me as what I should do to remove this problem?

[lmk]

you should add JSF  libs to your webapp.

[nbelaevski]

It seems you are using JSF 1.1 with RF version that requires JSF 1.2. Either upgrade JSF version or downgrade RF.

Thanks Nick Belaevski,

                                 It was the difference in JSF and richFaces libs.
