Can't get JSF2+Facelets+RichFaces to work...

[chris49324]

hey,

I have some trouble getting JSF2 (MyFaces impl), Facelets and Richfaces (3.3.3.Final) to work.  When I try to access a jsf resource I get an 404. No Message in Glassfish console, no details in Browser. Earlier today with a slightly different configuration the resource was available but the page didn't render at all, only Text did show up in Browser.

And I user Maven.

My current pom:

there is a way to get full application starting log. I can't look right now (has no glaafish downloaded after reinstalling the environment) but there are some item e.g. "view server console" in Eclipse servers menu. That console contains more info than available on basic output shown on server start. please check it.

[chris49324]

i meant that console, but there are just info-messages. no errors:

INFO: Mojarra 2.0.2 (FCS b10) für Kontext '/xy' wird initialisiert.
INFO: Loading application de.xy_xy_war_1.0-SNAPSHOT at /Boombox
INFO: de.xy_xy_war_1.0-SNAPSHOT was successfully deployed in 6.514 milliseconds.

ok, i solved this problem by copying a working web.xml and faces-config from someone else.

BUT, now i have another problem (seems like you always have trouble with JSF in some way)

Fortunatly, I get an Error this time: Tag Library supports namespace, but no tag was defined for name _INSERT_RANDOM_JSF2_ONLY_TAG_HERE_

Apparently, the wrong jsf impl (or is it Facelets?) version is running. But there is no jsf-impl in the lib folder, i have no clue whats going on.
