Is there a way to include the just the PB richfaces extension?

Hi,

When I upgraded to GateIn-3.6.0.Final, I noticed that it comes installed with the PB-3.2.1.Final, which is what we want to use. So I changed this line in our web.xml to false and did not copy the pg jars into our portlet war:

<context-param>

  <param-name>org.gatein.portletbridge.WAR_BUNDLES_PORTLETBRIDGE</param-name>

  <param-value>false</param-value>

</context-param>

I figured why deploy the three PB jars in our portlet war if we didn't have to. But we found out that we were missing the portletbridge-extension-richfaces-3.2.1.Final.jar, as it does not come with GateIn, and our File Upload stopped working.

So to get the PB richfaces extension in our portlet wars again, I set that line back to true again:

<context-param>

  <param-name>org.gatein.portletbridge.WAR_BUNDLES_PORTLETBRIDGE</param-name>

  <param-value>true</param-value>

</context-param>

And copy all the PB jars into our portlet wars again.

Is there a better way to do this?

Can I just copy our the portletbridge-extension-richfaces-3.2.1.Final.jar, and leave the param-value set to false?

Thanks.

Joe,

If you want to have the api and impl jars included for you by GateIn, you don't need to set the web.xml context-param to anything, as the default behavior is to add them to a portlet deployment.

As for adding the Richfaces extension, you just need to add that single jar into the WAR. Obviously its a good idea to ensure its the same version as GateIn will add otherwise there could be conflicts.

Thank you Ken. That makes sense.
