Richfaces adviseNodeOpened ClassNotFoundException

[barbaraboie]

Hello

I have a problem when I add

public Boolean adviseNodeOpened(UITree tree) {
        return Boolean.TRUE;
    }

to my MenuTreeBean.java

The problem is the import of org.richfaces.component.UITree. This import can't be found when I don't add richfaces-ui.jar into the ear context. So I added richfaces-ui.jar to the ear context, but then I got the error java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.ajax4jsf.component.UIDataAdaptor. So I also added richfaces-impl.jar to the ear-context, but then I get the error

Exception during request processing:

Caused by javax.servlet.ServletException with message: "Servlet execution  threw an exception"

org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:313)
org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206)
org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter$FilterChainImpl.doFilter(SeamFilter.java:83)

I read something about putting UseJBossWebLoader on true in jboss-serice.xml, but  is not in the jboss-serice.xml I have.

Is there someone who had the same problem and solved it?

Thanks

seems you trying to use UI components classes inside EJB beans. It's not good design. Use controller classes in web application.

Thanks you Ilya for your quick response.

When I remove UITree out of the method

public Boolean adviseNodeOpened() {
        return Boolean.TRUE;
    }

I get the error

/layout/navigatie.xhtml @6,118 adviseNodeOpened="#{menuTree.adviseNodeOpened}":  Method not found: Proxy to  jboss.j2ee:ear=ccinc-ear.ear,jar=ccinc-ejb.jar,name=MenuTreeBean,service=EJB3  implementing [interface  vo.cjsm.ccinc.util.MenuTree].adviseNodeOpened(org.richfaces.component.UITree)

And when I try <rich:tree switchType="client" selectedClass="navigatieTree" adviseNodeOpened="true"> I get java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Boolean

What I want to do is to keep the tree open, because when I click on a link in the tree, the tree is collapsing when I go to a different page. Do you know another way to keep de tree expanded?

Thanks

When I remove UITree out of the method

public Boolean adviseNodeOpened() {
        return Boolean.TRUE;
    }

I meant not to remove UITree from signature - advisor expectes methodExpression of predefined signature so it will not works. I mean move out the advisor (which is actually some kind of UI controller) - to webapp module.

And when I try <rich:tree switchType="client" selectedClass="navigatieTree" adviseNodeOpened="true"> I getjava.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Boolean

could also try to use adviseNodeOpened="#{true}"

One step further but not yet there...

I created a TreeAdvisorBean in the webapp module

import javax.ejb.Remove;
import javax.ejb.Stateful;

import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.AutoCreate;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Destroy;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
import org.richfaces.component.UITree;
import org.richfaces.component.state.TreeStateAdvisor;

@Stateful
@Name("treeAdvisor")
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
@AutoCreate
public class TreeAdvisorBean implements TreeStateAdvisor {
   
    public Boolean adviseNodeOpened(UITree tree) {
        return Boolean.TRUE;
    }

    public Boolean adviseNodeSelected(UITree tree) {
        return null;
    }
   
    @Remove
    @Destroy
    public void destroy() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub   
    }
}

and in the page:

<rich:tree switchType="client" selectedClass="navigatieTree" adviseNodeOpened="#{treeAdvisor.adviseNodeOpened}">

No more problem with the imports, but I get the error

/layout/navigatie.xhtml @6,121  adviseNodeOpened="#{treeAdvisor.adviseNodeOpened}": Target Unreachable,  identifier 'treeAdvisor' resolved to null

although I added @AutoCreate ... Has it something to do with the fact that the bean is in the webmodule?

check in server log during server starting - there should be Seam log entries related to components instantiations. there should be treeAdvisor.

Great! I added seam.properties in war/src, I removed @Stateful and I made the bean Serializable and it works! Thanks for the advice, Ilya!!
