Migrating From Seam 2.0.1 GA to Seam 2.2.0 GA with RichFaces 3.2

[ambrish_kumar]

Hi All,

We are migrating an application built-on Seam 2.0.1 GA to Seam 2.2.0 GA with RichFaces 3.2 (Seam 2.2.0 comes with RichFaces 3.3).

Everything is working fine , but the <a:commandLink> tags are not working. We are using RichFaces 3.2.
Previously , it was working with Seam 2.0.1 GA.

If I replace the RichFaces 3.3 library with 3.2 and still using the Seam 2.2.0 GA, we get following exception on server startup :

Caused by: javax.faces.FacesException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.richfaces.renderkit.html.CustomizeableGradient

Our deployment environment is

Jboss Server 4.2.2

Seam 2.2.0

RichFaces 3.2

Can we use RichFaces 3.2 with Seam 2.2.0 ?. If not then Can anybody tell me what will be the modification in the XHTML pages so that a:commandLink also work ?.

Thanks & Regards,

Ambrish

Hi.. Ambrish Singh. Do you have resolved your problem? I think your exception happened due to:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.richfaces.renderkit.html.CustomizeableGradient

You don't need to back to richfaces 3.2. Have you checked that file richfaces-impl.jar is on your classpath? You can look at this in the deployed-jars.list file on your project.

Hope this help.

Hi Lefter,

The exception is not coming now.But the modal panel is not displaying. Here is my code for displaying modal panel on a:commandButton click.

The ajax commandButton is :

<a:form id="showAddform" ajaxSubmit="true">
                         <a:commandButton id="addRateListButton" 
                              value="#{messages.btnNewRateList}" 
                              reRender="commonPanel"                                        
                              action="#{manageRateList.renderAddRateList}"
                              onmouseover="reloadHelp('#{messages.hlpNewRateList}');"
                              onmouseout="reloadHelp('#{messages.hlpRateListPage}');" >                         
                         </a:commandButton>          
                    </a:form>

The modal panel code is :

<a:outputPanel id="commonPanel" >     
          
          <rich:modalPanel id="commonMp" styleClass="modalPanel" top="10"
                    autosized="true" keepVisualState="#{manageRateList.showOverlay}"

Hi.. Have you try adding:

onclick="Richfaces.showModalPanel('commonMp');"

or

onclick="#{rich:component('commonMp')}.show();"

in your command button?
