richfaces 3.3.3 with Websphere 7.0 issue

[ramram888]

Hi All,

I am having this exception when using richfaces 3.3.3 on Websphere. The application runs well under JBOSS and TOMCAT.

Error 500: javax.el.ELException: Function 'rich:element' not found.

    since i am using also "<rich:hotKey key="return" handler="#{rich:element('hideLangPanellId')}.click()" />"

I tryed to put the el-api.jar in the class path I had this exception

    Class 'org.richfaces.component.ClonedObjectResolver' is not an instance of 'class javax.el.ELResolver'

If I added the jsf-impl.jar + jsf-api.jar + el-api.jar another exception appears

    java.lang.VerifyError: javax/servlet/jsp/JspApplicationContext.addELResolver(Ljavax/el/ELResolver;)V

What do u think??? how can this be fixed ???

What is the jars that must be places and compatible with WAS 7.0 jars that will make the application function normally as it does on the JBOSS and TOMCAT?

Regards,

Ram

Hi Ram,

Are you using JSP or Facelets?

[ramram888]

Hi Nick,

I am working with Facelets JSF. This is an example on the header page that I have.

<%@ taglib prefix="f"  uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="h"  uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/a4j" prefix="a4j" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/rich" prefix="rich" %>

in addition to this I use the Richfaces 3.3.3 and I checked that the Websphere server is refencing the JSF 1.2 with it.

Would using a JSP cause such problem? or would using a Facelet cause this problem?

And what do you recommend as a solution for this?

Thanks for your help,

Ram

1) It looks like you are using JSP. Facelets pages have the following header:

<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"

xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"

xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"

xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"

xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">

So may be you can try Facelets(But in this case use should modify all your pages accordingly to Facelets style)

You can take a look at this for some details about facelets:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-facelets/

2) I can't find enough information about Sun JSF impl + WebSpehere. But it seems that it's not possible to change JSF impl in this app server.

P.S. Can you post this question on some WebSphere forums?(I guess that guys who are using WebSphere a lot could tell you much more)

Hi All,

   Yes you are right I am using JSP not Facelets.

   However, I did the update that you have recommended Nick and I did the update to WebSphere Platform 7.0.0.13 [BASE 7.0.0.13 cf131039.07]  and I have the below exception please check below the full stack trace:

any ideas how to fix this issue?

[nbelaevski]

Have you tried contacting WebSphere support via forum/another channel? Also try checking application startup log - maybe there is some additional information there?

Hi Nick,

   As i was checking the following URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-8259 I realized that there was a similar bug on the JBOSS server and it was corrected.

Is this a similar issue? and what was done to fix it?

Regards,

Ram
