Richfaces 4 Display Problem

[eldjon]

i just started working of Richfaces but im having a problem with it as i cannot display any richfaces element. i integrate it with maven and i added those dependencies :

        <dependency>

            <groupId>org.richfaces.ui</groupId>

            <artifactId>richfaces-components-api</artifactId>

            <version>4.0.0.20110209-M6</version>

        </dependency>

        <dependency>

            <groupId>org.richfaces.ui</groupId>

            <artifactId>richfaces-components-ui</artifactId>

            <version>4.0.0.20110209-M6</version>

        </dependency>

i configured the web.xml files accordingly :

    <context-param>

        <param-name>org.richfaces.enableControlSkinning</param-name>

        <param-value>true</param-value>

    </context-param>

    <context-param>

        <param-name>org.richfaces.enableControlSkinningClasses</param-name>

        <param-value>false</param-value>

    </context-param>

    <context-param>

        <param-name>org.richfaces.skin</param-name>

        <param-value>#{skinBean.skin}</param-value>

    </context-param>

But the result is blank page (for richfaces components). I cant see any richface component at all. and no warnings , no errors either

Hi

I have the same effect, no rendered components into html.

But i can see the commands in the browser, who cannot

make something with <a4j ... commands :-(

[eldjon]

i have no clue what is that abt and im wasting a lot of time trying to figure it out. i think ill switch to some other libraries.

[rjevans2000]

You are missing the following dependency in your pom.xml

<dependency>

            <groupId>org.richfaces.core</groupId>

            <artifactId>richfaces-core-impl</artifactId>

            <version>4.0.0.20110209-M6</version>

        </dependency>

ive tried that too actually but it doesnt make any difference. the result is the same. i dont know if its only me but i find jboss itself very unstable server. it looks like sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

[geschtli]

No, i have expirience in Bea, Websphere and Jboss.

Jboss is a very stable server, good to maintain,

easy to handle, and a big worldwide community.

Also i have running my own Jboss two years now

without trouble.With Bea and Websphere there

a every week big troubles und high end cost.

correct dependencies according to http://community.jboss.org/wiki/HowtoaddRichFaces4xtomavenbasedproject

with your current settings you missing core-impl jar

[eldjon]

thanks for ur reply. to tell the truth i went through that article as well. now i made it work with richfaces 3.3.3 but outside maven. i realised that when i added richfaces libraries they werent added on /WEB-INF/lib folder. so after adding them manually to this folder everything is working correctly. (im using eclipse helios)

Hi Eldjon

You are right.The problem is what you say. The external libraries are not included

in the deployment projekt. Putting it in the WEB-INF/lib folder does it.

[eldjon]

but im not still convinced of the JBoss stability. first of all it takes quite long to deploy a project. secondly im facing situations where a project runs correctly but after i close and reopen eclipse jboss returns me errors for the same project. i used glassfish before but i have to use jboss now but to tell u the truth i wouldnt use it if i had a choice

Hi Eldjon,

This can be simply a deployment issue, because sometimes Eclipse fails to do deploy/redeploy correctly. Does the problem reproduce if you deploy WAR/EAR file manually?

[eldjon]

actually i havent tried that. i kind of trusted eclipse on deployment. ill give a try myself and let u know

I am also getting the blank page with Spring + Hibernate + RF 4.0

[ilya_shaikovsky]

You mean not see any components at all or see them not styled for example? If second - check your spring security rules. we already fixed same issue for a couple of posts there and usually resources unavailability was caused by wrong security settings(resources was just restricted).

If first - please also provide detailed info about your deployment configuration, libraries and app server.

Hi geschtli,

you need to have installed M2Eclipse + M2Eclipse Extras (WTP integration) to let Eclipse deploy libraries properly (check Properties > Deployment Assembly).
