    Problem with menuItem (not rendered)

      Hi all,

      I have a page like follows:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ include file="includes/taglibs.jsp"%>
<f:view locale="#{currentUserBean.locale}">
<f:loadBundle basename="#{currentUserBean.resourceBundlePath}" var="message"/>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
...
</head>

<body>
<h:form>
 <rich:toolBar>
 <rich:dropDownMenu>
 <f:facet name="label">
 <h:panelGroup>
 <h:graphicImage value="/icons/wrench.png" styleClass="menuIcon" rendered="true"/>
 <h:outputText value="System"/>
 </h:panelGroup>
 </f:facet>

 <rich:menuItem value="Overview" /> <%--icon="/icons/house.png" --%>

 <rich:menuSeparator id="menuSeparator11" />

 <rich:menuItem value="Logout" id="navMenuItemLogout">
 <f:facet name="label">
 <h:graphicImage value="/icons/house.png" styleClass="menuIcon" rendered="true"/>
 <h:outputText value="Logout" />
 </f:facet>
 </rich:menuItem>
 </rich:dropDownMenu>
 </rich:toolBar>
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
</f:view>

      The toolbar is rendered and visible, the first menu-item (called system here) also, but the submenus are empty. No text visible, no icons visible, nothing. Only empty with a separator.

      Does anybody has an idea what I am doing wrong?

      Thanks a lot and best regards,

      Thomas

      P.S: Using the lastest Version 3.3.1 GA, Sun-Faces 1.2 and Tomcat 6.0.20

          Seems should just works. Any js errors? Any resources failed to load?

            No, sorry - no errors, no failed resources. Page loads normally. If it helps, I can post the html-output.

            Could it be cecause of the page-header? Transitional? Page-Syntax not using ui:...

            The libs are placed in tomcat-webapp-webinf-libs

              The problem still exists. I also tried 3.3.0 and 3.1.6 and the problem war reproducable. Am I missing libraries?

              Under WebContent-WebINF-lib I have:


              commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar
              commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
              commons-digester-2.0.jar
              commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
              jsf-api.jar
              jsf-impl.jar
              jstl.jar
              richfaces-api-3.3.1.GA.jar
              richfaces-impl-3.3.1.GA.jar
              richfaces-ui-3.3.1.GA.jar
              themes-3.3.1.GA.jar


              Can anybody reproduce my problem?

              My web.xml looks like this: 

              <!-- Context-Parameter -->
 <context-param>
 <param-name>org.richfaces.SKIN</param-name>
 <param-value>blueSky</param-value>
 </context-param>
 <context-param>
 <!-- MUST be set to client, because of browser-back-button-problem, which
 means, that the two UI-Root-IDs (when stored on server) are not the
 same, when a browser-back-button is used.
 -->
 <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
 <param-value>client</param-value>
 </context-param>

 <!-- Faces-config -->
 <context-param>
 <param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>

 </context-param>

              Any help appreciated. Thanks a lot

                I found two bugs in your code:
                1) There is no "label" facet for rich:menuItem, use "icon" instead.
                2) The 2nd facet have two childs.

                <f:facet name="label">
 <h:graphicImage value="/icons/house.png" styleClass="menuIcon" rendered="true"/>
 <h:outputText value="Logout" />
 </f:facet>

                Try to replace with following code: 
                <rich:menuItem value="Logout" id="navMenuItemLogout">
 <f:facet name="icon">
 <h:graphicImage value="/pics/error.gif" styleClass="menuIcon"
 rendered="true" />
 </f:facet>
 </rich:menuItem>

                If it will not help you - let us know.

                  about 1) icon facet should not be used instead of label. It defines icon. And label part should be defined by just nested components
