Context Param - org.richfaces.SKIN - not picked up

[franksparr]

I'm using Rich Faces 4.0.0.20101226-M5, and it doesn't look like the org.richfaces.SKIN context-param in web.xml is getting recognized.  No matter what you put for the value -- blueSky, etc -- the skin is always the dull gray DEFAULT.

I've stepped through the RichFaces code, but I cannot find where it is trying to load the context-param at startup.

Has anyone run into this?

Take a look at the following link:

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/richfaces/branches/4.0.0.M5/examples/richfaces-showcase/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml

I guess you should try org.richfaces.skin

My life is a walking nightmare.

I guess it doesn't pay to ask why they would change the case of the context-param after years of using SKIN.  I guess when using version 4, you cannot look back on the old examples.  Not their fault.  I should be more careful.  But come on...

Hi Frank,

These files are located in the richfaces-impl-xxxxx.jar inside the /META-INF/skins folder. You can play with these default.skin.properties file to see your changes.
