Seam-Richfaces application - home page loading very slow

pramod_bs Mar 16, 2009 4:33 PM

Gurus
I have a seam/richfaces application. It is taking too much time to load the home page. From the access log (copied below) I can see some delay in the .js file loading (rich faces files). Any help will be much appreciated. I have to go to PRODUCTION soon and I am sure users are going to complain about this.

Maybe you'd better give details about the page and components. Maybe the home page's source code. But without these, I experienced same problem at first, when using tabpanel with switchtype set to client.

The thing that worries me is the time taken to load between framework.pack.js and org/richfaces/ui.pack.js It takes almost 7 secs to load (please see below the timestamp). I am not sure where the time lag is. Is this the browser is taking so much time to load the js.

Can you post your web.xml?

I had this problem when I first started a seamgen'd project. Removing all RichFaces configurations (leaving the defaults, I guess) from web.xml solved the problem.

I am using richfaces a lot. So I don't think it is an option for me to remove richfaces references.

Try removing/commenting out the above section.

See if it helps.

It sesms like the TidyParser was taking too much time to parse. When I added the foll in web.xml it speeds up the loading.

<context-param>
<param-name>org.ajax4jsf.xmlparser.ORDER</param-name>
<param-value>NONE</param-value>
</context-param>

Hopefully this will not cause any other issues.
