since richfaces 4.2.0 a4j:ajax listener doesn't work

[typek_pb]

environment:

WinXP, JDK 1.6.0_26, Jetty 6, richfaces 4.2.0Final

problem desc:

Since upgrade from richfaces 4.1 to 4.2.0 I'm not able to use a4j:ajax listener any more, since error is thrown on page opening in browser.

For some reason content of listener is evaluated as bean's property rather than method.

code:

Following code throws error.

relevant xhtml chunk:

                <h:selectOneRadio value="#{mainView.role}" layout="pageDirection">

                    <a4j:ajax event="change" listener="#{mainView.roleChanged}"

                        render="schedulePanel okButton" />

                    <f:selectItems value="#{mainView.roles}" />

                </h:selectOneRadio>

relevant bean code:

public void roleChanged(AjaxBehaviorEvent event) {

error thrown:

2012-04-01 09:02:44.750:WARN::/yourpresenter/main.jsf

javax.el.ELException: /main.xhtml: The class 'com.google.code.yourpresenter.view.MainView' does not have the property 'roleChanged'.

Should I fill a bug for this or is there a problem in my code?

thanks

The code looks ok to me, I just tried this and it seems to work ok for me, although I'm running on a glassfish app

server with 4.2.0.Final. The selectOneRadio isn't in a composite component by any chance? What browser are

you using? What happens if you use f:ajax instead of a4j:ajax? Also ensure that the selectOneRadio is inside an

<h:form></h:form>.

Hi Brendan,

thanks a lot for reply. it was really helpful!

What lead me to solution was your remark on glasfish.

My deployment setup is either:

- jetty - I'm using webby => no maven related checks

- tomact - war built via maven

When trying with tomcat I got error:

[ERROR] error: error reading C:\Documents and Settings\pb\.m2\repository\org\richfaces\ui\richfaces-components-ui\4.2.0.Final\richfaces-components-ui-4.2.0.Final.jar; invalid LOC header (bad signature)

=> I had corrupted library downloaded via maven : richfaces-components-ui-4.2.0.Final.jar

I checked sha and it was wrong. Redownload solved the problem.

regards,

Peter B.
