[binoz]

I want to try out Richfaces 4.0. I tried to create an Hello World example.

Included These Files in project.

1.1)  richfaces-core-api-4.0.0.20101004-M3.jar

1.2)  richfaces-core-impl-4.0.0.20101004-M3.jar

1.3)  richfaces-components-api-4.0.0.20101004-M3.jar

1.4)  richfaces-components-ui-4.0.0.20101004-M3.jar

1.5)  sac-1.3, cssparser-0.9.5 - required for components CSS work

1.6)  google-guava-r06 - core runtime dependency.

Using JDK 1.6 and Tomcat 6.0

None of the JSF tags is being rendered. where as HTML tags are being rendered.

Please advise.

1) Could you post your web.xml and faces-config.xml files. I guess something is wrong with them.

2) If you downloaded RF 4.0 M3 you should have a show case application inside its package. Could you try to compare your web.xml/faces-config.xml and configs provided it the snow case application?

P.S. You should have JSF 2.0 implementation in your classpath. So it should be inside your war file because Tomcat doesn't have a built-in implementation. You can also try the same with Glassfish 3.0.1 because I'm sure that it has JSF 2.0 inside. (I haven't tried JSF 2.0 on Jboss 6.0 yet)

I tried in Glassfish No Luck.

I am posting my web.xml and faces-Config.xml

What URL do you enter in your browser?

I guess that this is not a correct definition of welcome pages:

<welcome-file-list>

    <welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file>

</welcome-file-list>

I usually use the following form:

<welcome-file-list>

    <welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file>

    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>

</welcome-file-list>

where index.jsp contains sendRedirect on my jsf page.

[binoz]

You are right. The problem was with welcome file.

I changed index.xhtml to index.jsf in  web.xml.

I am OK now.

Thanks.
