Hello Mohammed,

RichFaces 4.x works with most popular containers, i personally worked with it on JBoss 5,6,7 , Webshpere 7, Weblogic 10 (Oracle 11g), but it's push component(a4j:push) needs some investigation for websphere & weblogic,

see Lukas article.

regards.

Hi,

I tried to deploy richfaces4.2.x with Wepsphere 7 patch 23.... but it does not work.

is there a workaround or any pre-request i need to do before.

[iabughosh]

well, deploying on Websphere is a bit YUCKY, anyway here is the steps:

1-add this jar (com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.jar) to your WEB-INF/lib directory.

2-create a class for ibm injection provider, ex: provider.IBMWas7InjectionProvider, find the attached file.

3-add this param to web.xml file :

<context-param>

    <param-name>com.sun.faces.injectionProvider</param-name>

    <param-value>provider.IBMWas7InjectionProvider</param-value>

</context-param>

4-you have to configure the server by creating new shared library contains JSF2 & RichFaces 4 libraries and its dependencies, for example :

/jsflib/jsf208/jsf-api.jar

/jsflib/jsf208/jsf-impl.jar

/jsflib/jsf208/el-api.jar

/jsflib/jsf208/hibernateCR1.jar

/jsflib/jsf208/hibernatevalidator.jar

/jsflib/jsf208/validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar

/jsflib/jsf208/guava-r09.jar

/jsflib/jsf208/slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar

/jsflib/jsf208/slf4j-simple-1.6.1.jar

5-deploy your app and point to the shared library,don't forget to choose "Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last)" option under class loading and update detection.

6-run your app and have fun.

I have it working in JBoss 7.1.1 and Weblogic 12c. Both are latest versions and it works just fine.
