    Skinning not working

    daxxy

      I have a small app based on the greeter quickstart.  I added richfacs-bom (4.2.0.Final) to my pom and am using richfaces library components and everythign is working great, it's just not looking great. It's as if skinning is completely not working.  I'm on AS 7.1.0.Final

       

      What am I missing?

       

      My web.xml has only this cause we're trying to keep things minimal

       

      <context-param>

          <param-name>org.richfaces.skin</param-name>

          <param-value>ruby</param-value>

      </context-param>

       

      source looks like this

            value="#{contactView.contact.city}, #{contactView.contact.state} #{contactView.contact.zip}" />

        </h:panelGrid>
      </rich:panel>

      </html>

       

      and output looks like this. Very boring.  Can someone tell me where are my lovely rf panel borders, etc?

          While trying to debug a separate problem, I added an <h:head /> section to my xhtml file and Voila!! skinning suddenly started working.

           

          FTR - the other problem was that a4j:commandLink action was producing a 'Richfaces' not defined error.

           

          Google led me to this solution and it fixed both problems.

           

          TDR.
