JBOSS 5.1.0 GA - exception CONFIGURATION FAILED! org.ajax4js

[markitus]

Hello, i've just upgraded the jboss version to the latest one (JBOSS 5.1.0 GA) and my app fails to deploy, prompting exceptions concerning conflicts or something with richfaces libraries. Please find below a piece of the exception trace:

Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.JBossJSFConfigureListener

Does anyone has any idea why this is happening ?

thanks for your help.

seems you have JSF libraries in your application and not considered the JSF bundled with Jboss itself. Just visit jboss server wiki to learn about context-param to ignore server bundled JSF.

thank you so much!! That was exactly the problem.
I added the following lines to my web.xml :

<context-param>
 <param-name>org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL</param-name>
 <param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>

and voila! it worked!!
