Richfaces 4 custom skin

[bvi]

Hi, I notice an error when trying to use a simple custom skin with Richfaces 4.0.0.Final.

I have the following parameters (web.xml):

<context-param>

  <description>Ma skin</description>

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

  <param-value>myskin</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

  <description>Définit la skin utilisée par RichFaces 4</description>

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

  <param-value>blueSky</param-value>

</context-param>

And the following exception occurs :

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /inputBackgroundImage.png.xhtml Not Found in ExternalContext as a Resource

It appears some richfaces ressources (referenced in skinning_classes.ecss from module richfaces-core-impl) are not found

I tried to find theses images (inputBackgroundImage.png, etc ...) in richfaces 4 sources , but no way.... may someone please help me ?

[bvi]

These image (inputBackgroundImage.png) seems to be generated by Richfaces 4 (cf org.richfaces.renderkit.html.images.InputBackgroundImage) with a height of -1.

And the exception I observe is :

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Width (2000) and height (0) cannot be <= 0

org.richfaces.resource.ResourceHandlerImpl.handleResourceRequest(ResourceHandlerImpl.java:171)

Can you help please ?

Finally I have found the apparent cause :

Richfaces 4 does not support the use of "em" inside skin properties (cf org.richfaces.renderkit.util.HtmlDimensions) , and my xxx.skin.properties file contained some, for instance :

generalSizeFont=1em

....

My workaround is to define these properties in "px", and the exception no more occurs.
