    Skinning problems with RF-5 when using MyFaces

      In eclipse I have created a simple dynamic web project, and added the following libraries to the WEB-INF/lib directory:

       

      - richfaces-5.0.0.Alpha3.jar

      - cssparser-0.9.11.jar

      - guava-13.0.1.jar

      - sac-1.3.jar

      - myfaces 2.1.15 jars

       

      The web.xml file is the following:

       

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">

  <display-name>test</display-name>

  <context-param>
  <param-name>org.richfaces.skin</param-name>
  <param-value>blueSky</param-value>
  </context-param>

  <servlet>
  <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

       

      My faces-config.xml file is:

       

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faces-config
    xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_2.xsd"
    version="2.2">

</faces-config>

       

      Now I wanted to test a very simple page that shows an extended data table as follows:

       

      <!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:r="http://richfaces.org">

<h:head></h:head>

<h:body>
  <r:extendedDataTable value="#{testBean.items}" var="r">
    <r:column>
      <f:facet name="header">
        <h:outputText value="username" />
      </f:facet>
      <h:outputText value="#{r.column}" />
    </r:column>
  </r:extendedDataTable>
</h:body>
</html>

       

      The page gets displayed and the table is created correctly, but the only problem is that the SKIN is not applied, if I check the source of the generated HTML page I don't see the extendedDataTable.ecss import.

       

      If I remove the MyFaces jars and replace them with the Mojarra implementation (javax.faces-2.2.1.jar) the skin is applied correctly! and now in the generated HTML page I see the extendedDataTable.ecss import.

       

      I have tried with the different MyFaces versions (2.1.10 and 2.1.15, and 2.2.3) none of them applied the skins!

       

      I am deploying to apache-tomcat-7.0.14 and using richfaces-5.0.0.Alpha3.jar

       

      any thoughts?
