RichFaces Skin not working (with Primefaces)

[larsd]

Hello,

atm I'm developing an app for a comparison between Rich- and PrimeFaces. I know that the css styles of the two frameworks can affect each other so I wanted to choose a skin which is available for both librarys (blueSky).

The problem is that RichFaces skin is not applied to the richfaces components but the primefaces components look as expected. (RichFaces 4.2.1, PrimeFaces 3.2. on Tomcat 7)

web.xml:

You may want to try disabling the skinning for non richfaces comoponents with    <param-name>org.richfaces.enableControlSkinning</param-name>

See: http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/latest_4_2_X/Developer_Guide/en-US/html/chap-Developer_Guide-Skinning_and_theming.html#sect-Developer_Guide-Skinning_and_theming-Skinning_standard_controls

thank you for your answer, but this doesn't solve the problem.

kind regards

Hi Lars,

please try org.richfaces.skin instead of org.richfaces.SKIN in web.xml! Parameter name has been changed in RF4.

hi,

at the end of last week I solved the problem by recreating the whole application from the beginning. I justed looked at the web.xml and I also use the lower case parameter now so I think this was the problem.

kind regards
