ALPHA 2: ehcache-1.6.0 required?

[b.estes]

I am attempting to use RichFaces 4.0 ALPHA 2 in a JSF 2.0 project in NetBeans. I added the jars listed in the readme.txt file in the distribution, cssparser-0.9.5, and sac-1.3. When I deploy the application on Tomcat 6.0.26 I received the following exception:

 

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:     net.sf.ehcache.Element.<init>(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Boolean;Ljava/lang/Integer;Ljava/lang/Integer;)V

at org.ajax4jsf.cache.EhCacheCache.put(EhCacheCache.java:51)

at org.richfaces.resource.ResourceHandlerImpl.handleResourceRequest(ResourceHandlerImpl.java:312)

at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:310)

I added ehcache-1.6.0 and the issue was resolved. The readme.txt file recommends using EhCache, JBoss Cache, or OsCache, but does not say ehcache-1.6.0 is required.

Hi Blake,

Yes, this was a bug in configuring cache factories in A2 - so thank you for reporting the problem! RF M1 should be ok with that and use fallback cache implementation if nothing from the recommended caches is available.
