how to config richfaces with existing apache myfaces project

tong123123 Nov 15, 2008 4:33 AM

I already read the user guide, it only said

There are some problems with different filters defined in the web.xml file clashing. To avoid these problems, the RichFaces filter must be the first one among other filters in the web.xml configuration file.

For more information look at: http://myfaces.apache.org

but the website http://myfaces.apache.org said nothing about how to configure myfaces with richfaces, so what should I do? should I copy richfaces-api-3.2.1.GA.jar, richfaces-impl-3.2.1.GA.jar to my project lib folder and let it coexists with myfaces-api-1.2.5.jar, myfaces-impl-1.2.5.jar
?

Yes, copy them as should be (do not forget to add richfaces-ui.jar). If you use extension filters you should configure filters chain so that RichFaces filter is the first one.

I have extension filter, the setting is
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>extensionsFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>

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

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

how to configure filters chain so that RichFaces filter is the first one?

is this correct? put richfaces filter before extensionsFilter in web.xml?
the physical ordering in web.xml is important, is this all I need?

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
REQUEST
FORWARD
INCLUDE
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>extensionsFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>

yes.. the order is important,. And your definition is ok.

About the exception - please write which server you've using and libraries included in application.
