Compatibility with Richfaces

[geschtli]

Hi

In the moment i use

Jboss 6.0 with the newest JBoss-tools.

(JSF 2.0, JPA 2.0 and CDI).

With richfaces 3.3.3

Using

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

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

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

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

with an formular with <h:commandButton value="..." action="#{myclass.login}" />

, all runs correct.

(e.g. using dynamic actions from beans)

Using other libs, how Apache-Tomahawk or richfaces 4.0

in the same environment, they are not working correct.

It seems that they have another calling conventions to Beans.

I thing, there is a very big issue in that.

Before that is not cleared, a change to 'Tomahawk or

Richfaces 4.0' is definitly in the moment, waste of time.

If you will look to demos and check the simple component like buttons usage - you will not find any difference in actions usage between 3 and 4 under JSF2. So you should probably try to discover sources of problem more(at least provide more info if want to get any help with your cases). I believe most of the problem for you lying in just configuration area.

P.S. http://community.jboss.org/polls/1053 - looks not bad?

Hi Ilya

I use very simple calls in my application.

A simple bean :

@Named

@SessionScoped

public class LoginBean

{

  .........

  public String getLogin()

   {

    // values from DB

    if (.....)

     return  ok;

    return not_ok;

   }

........

And in my facelets

// address .....  h for html use

// address ..... rich for rich use (from richfaces 4)

// address ..... a4j for ajax use (from richfaces 4)

Example call in my login.xhtml:

<h:outputLabel .............

<h:inputText ...........

<h:commandButton action="#{loginBean.login}" value="Go" />

all runs ok, and i got the correct value from my bean

Now, changing to richfaces 4 with there libraries and if i call then

<a4j:commandButton action="#{loginBean.login}" value="Go" />

i got a MethodNotFoundException.

(My bean and the environment i have not changed).

In my faces-config.xml i have only my navigating rules

My environment is:

sun-jdk (j2ee) 1.6.24 (64 Bit)

JBoss 6 (64 Bit)

Eclipse Helios (64 bit) and Jboss-Tools

Firefox (64 Bit) (Minefield) for testing

JSF 2.0, JPA 2.0 and CDI (Weld 1.1.10)

I thing there must be another calling convention,

to call beans, or there is an error if i take richfaces 4

in the jboss environment??....???

Hi Ilya

Now i have changed my funktion name from login() to getLogin().

Also i have putted in faces-config.xml

following text:

<managed-bean>

  <managed-bean-name>loginBean</managed-bean-name>

  <managed-bean-class>com.mytest.session.LoginBean</managed-bean-class>

  <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>

  <managed-property>

   <property-name>login</property-name>

   <value>fail</value>

  </managed-property>

</managed-bean>

(With CDI, i use cdi-annotations, so i must normaly not set

managed beans in the faces-config.xml)

But now, my example starts without an exception.

But the button cannot be seen.There is no button.Strange!!!

Does i overseen something??

My Page is :

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

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

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

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

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

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

      <h:form>    

               <h:outputText value="#{msg.name}" />

               <h:inputText value="#{loginBean.alias}" required="true" />

               <h:outputText value="#{msg.pwd}" />

               <h:inputSecret  value="#{loginBean.password}"  required="true" />

            <a4j:commandButton value="GO" action="#{loginBean.login}" />

          </h:form>

</ui:composition>

At last, i see this,

.... <a4j:commandButton value="GO" action="loginFail"></a4j:commandButton>...

the original richfaces/ajax-command in the Client-Browser.

It ist not correct interpreted/rendererd on the server.

Perhaps there is a chance, that richfaces code cannot be correct interpreted

with jboss 6 or an 64 Bit environment???
