Upgrade from Richfaces 4.3.7 to 4.5 Problems

[wish79]

my current environment is :
- Richfaces 4.3.7
- java 1.7.0.60
-JBoss 7.1.1 (JSF 2.1.17)

when i am trying to upgrad to Richfaces 4.5 , with the same JVM and Jboss server version i have the following problems:

1- in my log I see the following messages :

WARNING [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.application] (http--0.0.0.0-8080-5) JSF1064: Unable to find or serve resource, select/select/select.js, from library, org.richfaces.

WARNING [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.context] (http--0.0.0.0-8080-6) JSF1091: No mime type could be found for file RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND. To resolve this, add a mime-type mapping to the applications web.xml.

WARNING [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.application] (http--0.0.0.0-8080-6) JSF1064: Unable to find or serve resource, RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND.

2- any rich select with empty values let my application hang (a4j:status hang)

ex:

<rich:select id="mydis"
                   defaultLabel="Select VALUE" />

I debug it by JavaScript debugger I see the following :

if (_this.clientSelectItems.length != 0) {
_this.__updateItems();

//Unable to get property 'length' of undefined or null reference

to solve this i add empty select item like this <f:selectItem />

3- my application have rich:collapsiblePanel and it is by default expanded="false" and switchType="ajax"

when i click on it it dose not expanded but if i change switchType to server or client it works

ex:

<rich:collapsiblePanel id="phAttachmentPanel"
                                   immediate="true"
                                   expanded="false"
                                   switchType="ajax" this not working

>

i waste a lot of time on try migration from 4.3.7 to 4.5 can you help and give me a solution for the above Richface 4.5 problems, or it is a bug by Richfaces 4.5 and still it is not stable.

Note : i tried to upgrade the server to WildFly 8.1 final i have a lot of problem maybe by JSF 2.2 byt i back to Jboss 7.1.1 because it has JSF 2.1.17 when it my application stable with Richfaces 4.5 on it i will upgrade to jsf 2.2.

It seems you don't have the correct dependencies. "select/select/select.js" is not used in RF 4.5, it was only used in RF 5 Alpha releases, as far as I remember. Also, use Mojarra 2.1.28 or higher, RichFaces 4.5 is not compatible with lower version.

Dear Michel,

Thanks for your answer , what i did i upgrade my application to WildFly 8.1 Server so my environment as following :

- Richfaces 4.5

- java 1.7.0.60

- WildFly Server 8.1 Final (JSF 2.2.6)

My problems result with above change as following :

1- in my log I see the following messages :(Same Problem With JSF 2.2.6)

2- any rich select with empty values let my application hang (a4j:status hang) (Same Problem With JSF 2.2.6)

3- my application have rich:collapsiblePanel and it is by default expanded="false" and switchType="ajax" (Working with JSF 2.2.6)

But another problems appears which is related to JSF 2.2.6 but let us close the above pointS mainly point #2,

one of new problems is the

<rich:notifyMessages stayTime="120000"

                     globalOnly="true"

                     nonblocking="true"/>

is not working with JSF 2.2.6

Hello Michal

I have the same problem using Richfaces 4.5 and Richfaces 4.5.2, java 1.7 and WildFly Server 8.1 Final (JSF 2.2.9)

11:35:04,398 WARNING [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.application] (default task-30) JSF1064: no se encuentra o sirve el recurso, select/select/select.js, desde la biblioteca, org.richfaces.

I downloaded richfaces-4.5.2.Final, inside  richfaces-rich-4.5.2.Final.jar  you can find three references to /select.js  "richfaces-rich-4.5.2.Final\META-INF\csv.xml line 221", "richfaces-rich-4.5.2.Final\META-INF\resources\org.richfaces.ckeditor\ckeditor.js line 759", "richfaces-rich-4.5.2.Final\org\richfaces\renderkit\SelectRendererBase.java line 70" files

Ah, the reference is wrong in the csv.xml. Nothing is broken though, the select component links select.js from the correct location.
