Error: 'A4J' is undefined

hferreira25 May 6, 2009 11:03 AM

Hi,

I'm working with WebSphere AS + RichFaces.

I copy the source code from the livedemo exadel page.

When I add a4j elements the browser shows the following error:
Error: 'A4J' is undefined

The RichFaces libs are in the class path the a4j is in the xmlns.

Can you help me to what's the possible problem?

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

The Application Server: IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
I'm creating a WAR file where I want to user RichFaces.
The RichFaces version is 3.3.0 (last version that I get from the JBoss.org).

I follow the instructions described in the RichFaces PDF, and I know they are working because if the widgets I use are only the namespace <rich: it works ok.

I also created a simple JSF page with the following code

<rich:panel header="Simple Echo">
<h:inputText size="50" value="#{user.text}">
<a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="rep" />
</h:inputText>
<h:outputText value="#{user.text}" id="rep" />
</rich:panel>

When I open this pages and in the onkeyup event instant the browser shows the bug.

Thanks

Your initial file was not correct according to schema, that's why it was incorrectly parsed causing the issue.
