RichFaces upgrate from 3.x to 4.x - Missing classes

[amitky]

I am doing a upgrade of richfaces framework from 3.3.2.SR1 to 4.0.0.Final for an application. When I updated the richfaces library to 4.0.0.Final, some error appears in the code. These errors are related to missing classes in the new richfaces api. Following are the classess reported to be missing along with a package

1. org.ajax4jsf.component.html (package)
2. HtmlActionParameter
3. HtmlAjaxFunction
4. org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlDatascroller
5. org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlDataTable
6. org.richfaces.event.UploadEvent
7. org.richfaces.model.UploadItem

How should I resolve this issue with missing items in the code?

Hi Amit,

Upgrading to Richface4 is not simple. You need to follow the guideline - http://www.jboss.org/richfaces/docs/3-x-4-x-migration

You can try the below link for a quick start:

And the Html classes not present need to be converted to UI components. For e.g. instead of HtmlDataTable need to use UIDataTable.

All the best.
