please help me find org.ajax4jsf.Filter class

[cj51]

Sorry, I know this has been asked before, but I can't find the answer after searching numerous forumns etc.
I'm taking a class on JSF.
I am trying to use RichFaces with my JSF app.
I am using Eclipse IDE and Glassfish server.
I am trying to run the demo 'User' JSF app described in the RichFaces UsersGuide.
The demo says to add to web.xml that references org.ajax4jsf.Filter class.
When I start Firefox and go to url, I get error 504.
Glassfish log says: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.ajax4jsf.Filter

I have added a bunch of Apache "commons" jar files, ajax4jsf.jar etc.,
to my project.
I cannot find org.ajax4jsf.Filter class in any jar file.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Ajax4jsf is now deprecated. Three RichFaces .jars should be used instead. org.ajax4jsf.Filter is located in richfaces-impl.

Nick,

So I presume that this code in my web.xml should be taken out:

<filter>
    <display-name>RichFaces Filter</display-name>
    <filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
  </filter>

I'm using richfaces 3.3.2.SR1.jar, on WebSphere6.1 deploying through RAD8.  My browser is loading the content of my index JSF page rather than interpreting it.  So two problems.  First, what should I put in my web.xml instead of the above if anything?  Second, as WAS6.1 is obviously not using facelets, yet I'm using the jsf-facelets.jar in my app lib, is it right to change the parent class loader for the web module to last to guarantee the jars in my app are used first?  I've got all the jars for the app and it worked on tomcat 6.

Nick not mean change filter definition. Just use RF jar's only and remove ajax4jsf.jar.

I have the same issue. My environment has setup as below:

JSF2.0  and RF 4.0.0 M5. The class org.ajax4jsf.Filter doesn't exist in

richfaces-core-api-4.0.0.20101226-M5.jar

richfaces-core-impl-4.0.0.20101226-M5.jar

richfaces-components-api-4.0.0.20101226-M5.jar

richfaces-components-ui-4.0.0.20101226-M5.jar

Basically I want to use FileUpLoad component. But I cannot find class UploadEvent and UploadItem class.

Please advise.

Hi Xing,

If you really need an answer create a new thread. I just want to repaet that org.ajax4jsf.Filter is not present in RF 4.0. It works without this filter now. Look at richfaces show case application for the examples.

Regards,

Ilya.

Ilya, thank you so much for your reply. Yes, the RF4 has added FileUpload component in recent months. It works great.

Thank you.
