Richfaces 3.2.1.GA + Tomcat 6

jorellan Jun 9, 2008 1:39 PM

I've been working till now with RichFaces 3.1.5.GA and Tomcat 6 without any problem. I tried upgrading to 3.2.1.GA just replacing the three jar files, since the configuration seems to be the same, but Tomcat does not start correctly.

When I restart the server, console shows a problem in faces-config.xml, which is not shown when I use RichFaces 3.1.x

---------------

GRAVE: Parse Error at line 5 column 17: Document root element "faces-config", must match DOCTYPE root "null".
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element "faces-config", must match DOCTYPE root "null".
at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:236)
at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.error(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:172)

...

....
and finally a NoClassDefFoundError exception :

GRAVE: ExcepciÃ³n enviando evento inicializado de contexto a instancia de escuchador de clase com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/faces/component/ActionSource2
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:620)

I've thought maybe there is any conflict or incompatibility with other jar files I have in my project:

common-annotations.jar
commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
commons-digester-1.8.jar
commons-javaflow-20060411.jar
commons-lang.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
el-ri.jar
itext-1.3.1.jar
jasperreports-2.0.5.jar
jsf-api.jar
jsf-facelets.jar
jsf-impl.jar
jsf-tlds.jar
jstl.jar
ojdbc14.jar
richfaces-api-3.2.1.GA.jar
richfaces-impl-3.2.1.GA.jar
richfaces-ui-3.2.1.GA.jar
standard.jar
struts-el.jar
struts.jar

I would appreciate any help!! I'm losing my head trying to solve this! :)

Thanks!

RichFaces 3.2.x requires JSF 1.2. You still have a JSF RI 1.1

Fixed!!

I was working with JSF 1.2 because there are some functionalities I'm applying that wouldn't work with JSF 1.1. But your comment made me think that probably I had a conflict with an old jar file.

So, I downloaded the RichFaces 3.2.1 GA sample.

http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/org/richfaces/samples/richfaces-demo/3.2.1.GA/richfaces-demo-3.2.1.GA-tomcat6.war

and I decided to use the JAR files of the sample, so I would start from a library configuration I'm sure that works.
However the faces-config.xml parser problems that only appeared with RichFaces 3.2.x were still there!

I finally found the error. I'm working with Eclipse WebTools and the assistant creates the XML code automatically.
When I specify the <from-action> tag, this assistant leaves a breakline producing an error. For any reason, with RichFaces 3.1.x, this error is not show (I have no idea what this happens)

<from-action>
#{visitasParcelaBean.crearVisita}</from-action>

I just removed that breakline, and restarted the server and everything worked perfect.

Thanks!!
