Rice Faces 3.3.3 over Tomcat 6.0.24 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/jsp/jstl/core/Config

[jmilnes]

This simply should be a jar file issue but I have JSTL jar:  I don't have a problem with the page until I setup RichFaces...

Using:

JSF 2.0 Mojarra

Tomcat 6.0.24

IE 6.0

Rich Faces 3.3.3 beta

Tomcat global lib:

jsf-api.jar  (Mojarra JSF 2.0)

jsf-impl.jar

commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar

Web App WEB-INF/lib

commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar 
commons-collections-3.2.jar 
commons-digester-1.8.1.jar  
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar   
jhighlight-1.0.jar        

jstl-api-1.2.jar

I have the downloaded example from richfaces beta version 3.3.3.  I noticed that the JSF jar files are 1.2 jars.  If I add those 1.2 jars into WEB-INF/LIB it will work - but it's not using the 2.0 jars - which is what I want... Has anyone been able to run Rich Faces with Tomcat over JSF 2.0?

Hi Jessica,

JSTL & JSF are two very different things, so you should add jstl.jar to your application.

RF 3.3.3 + JSF 2 works ok on Tomcat 6, I didn't have any problems with richfaces-demo. To be sure you are using correct configuration, I'd suggest you to look at the special wiki page: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/RichFaces333andJSF20

[jmilnes]

You are correct.  I think I download the wrong version - the one for 1.2.  I can run the demo using the 2.0 jars.  But If I try to setup a base enviroment with just the bear mininum, it doesn't work, I still get the aforementioned error.  I did notice that if I take the jsf-facelets-1.1.15.B1.jar in the example I do get the aforementioned error as well.

According to the documentation I should be able to run it with only having the following jars:

commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
commons-collections-3.2.jar
commons-digester-1.8.1.jar 
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar 

jsf-facelets-1.1.15.B1.jar

The demo is great - I just want a base working enviroment with out all the extras - for now.

JSTL .jar is required by JSF, so it should be there. Sorry, but I'm not getting whether you have this file in the problematic environment or not.

[jmilnes]

Well I did figure out the class not found issue.

I had the JSF jars in the global lib enviroment.  I put the richfaces in web-inf/lib with the jstl.  When I move the JSF and JSTL into the same directory, I don't get that error message anymore.  (Either in the global or the application)

But now I have another issue.  When it hits the .jsf file instead of displaying the page it wants to open the file.

When I take the rich faces jars out and take out the richface stuff in the XML the page works fine.  It seems like something is wrong with my web.xml.  But I don't understand why it would work fine as long as I don't have the richfaces in there.

Jar files:

in app/web-inf/lib

jsf-api-2.0.1.jar
jsf-impl-2.0.1.jar

jstl-1.1.2.jar

commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar           
commons-collections-3.2.jar           
commons-digester-1.8.1.jar            
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar             
jhighlight-1.0.jar                    
richfaces-api-3.3.3.BETA1.jar         
richfaces-impl-3.3.3.BETA1.jar        
richfaces-impl-jsf2-3.3.3.BETA1.jar   
richfaces-ui-3.3.3.BETA1.jar

1) you should not include both richfaces-impl jars. only richfaces-impl-jsf2 for jsf 2 environment.

2) also please include to web.xml

     <context-param>

          <param-name>javax.faces.DISABLE_FACELET_JSF_VIEWHANDLER</param-name>

          <param-value>true</param-value>

     </context-param>

also it highly recommended to use latest jsf 2 (2.0.2 currently) as we switching our testing to latest versions as far as them released. JSF 2 is fixes many problems between first releases currently

[jmilnes]

I made the aforementioned recommended changes.  However, it still tries to open the page instead of rendering the page.  The filter should be picking up the JSF page but it isn't.

I'm using the following richfaces jar files, now:

richfaces-api-3.3.3.BETA1.jar         
richfaces-impl-jsf2-3.3.3.BETA1.jar   
richfaces-ui-3.3.3.BETA1.jar         

I removed the

richfaces-impl-jsf3-3.3.3.BETA1.jar version.

I have the following exception while migrating from JSF1.1 to JSF 2

Note : I already use the JSTL1.2.jar and it’s in my classpath :S
