Install richfaces elsewhere but WEB-INF/lib

[romeo.juncu]

Hi everybody,

I have an JEE application deployed on Glassfish V3.1, which uses EJB's, connectors, persistence and web. For the Web tier I'm using the fresh Richfaces 3.3.3 library. My web application works well if I have the richfaces*.jar files deployed in the WEB-INF/lib folder of my war application.

For some reason, I have to build smaller .ear files, so I need to exclude richfaces-*.jar from my application and install them manually elsewhere. I've tried domain-dir/lib folders, as-install/lib and as-install/module folders. The best I have is the domain-dir/lib folder, my application deployes, but when I try to open some jsp page I have this message "The absolute uri: http://richfaces.org/rich cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application".

I've even tried to build little jars with only META-INF folders and deploy them with my application, having the big ones deplyed in domain-dir/lib. It is not better.

So, anyone has ever tried to do such a thing?

Hi,

Are you using JSP or Facelets?

Hi, I'm using JSP.

Specifiy .TLD files in taglib-location element and (or) extract them into your application.

It seems that copying all 4 tld contained in richfaces-ui-*.jar file into my WEB-INF folder works allright.

It would be interesting to be able to specify the taglib-location to point to my jar but I cant' figure out how to do that.

Do you have an example?

Thanks a lot anyway, that saved my day.
