skins are not being applied

[dmdm]

Hi,

I am trying to use customized skins but I have not been able to get them applied to the page.

I have followed the user guide but its not working not sure why:(

Steps I followed:

1. Created the maven project using

mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.richfaces.cdk -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-plug-n-skin -DarchetypeVersion=3.3.2.SR1 -DartifactId=RichSkins -DgroupId=testSkin -Dversion=1.0.-SNAPSHOT

2. Created the skin based on the classic skin

mvn cdk:add-skin -DbaseSkin=classic  -DcreateExt=true -Dname=TestClassic -Dpackage=testClassic

3. Changed calendar.xcss (was generated through the project) (it had empty classes initially after generation - not sure if thats correct either)

4. Added the new skin in the web.xml through a bean

I have also attached the web.xml, if there is any issue with  that

Thanks and Regards

Hi Deepesh,

Does this work if you specify skin name literally (i.e. org.richfaces.SKIN=TestClassic)?

Hi Nick,

I would think so (I shall try again) as if I specify wrong name in the bean  then it complains about not finding the specified skin, so I would assume that it is finding the skin correctly but it doesn't apply to the component.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Nick I just tried and using the skin name directly in the web.xml  did not work either.:(

I got that working by using skin parameters in xcss file (if i change the xcss file directly as mentioned in the userguide it doesnt work

Further How do I use it for rich:page ?? For example I want to add a background image to page.....??
