a4j:support not rerendering

funtoos Apr 7, 2011 12:29 PM

I am using rich:fileupload which on completion of the upload calls a4j:support to rerender a success message. Fileupload works fine, but the success message is not displayed, I also tried updating a a text field.

Environment : WAS7+JSF1.2+facelets1.1.14+richfaces3.3.3

WEB-INF/lib contains

el-api-1.1.jar

el-impl-1.1.jar

jsf-facelets-1.1.14.jar

jsf-ibm.jar

icu4j_3_4_1.jar

richfaces-api-3.3.3.Final.jar

<context-param>

<description>The location where state information is saved. Valid values are 'server' (typically saved in HttpSession) and 'client' (typically saved as a hidden field in the form.

Default is server.

</description>

<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>

<param-value>server</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

<description>Comma-delimited list of context-relative resource paths under which the JSF implementation will look for application configuration resources,

before loading a configuration resource named /WEB-INF/facesconfig.xml (if such a resource exists).

</description>

<param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>

<param-value>/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml,/WEB-INF/faces-config-validators.xml</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

<description>The default suffix for extension-mapped resources that contain JSF components. Default is '.jsp'.</description>

<param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>

<param-value>.xhtml</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

Monitors Faces JSP files for modifications and synchronizes a running server with

the changes without restarting the server. If this parameter is set to false or

removed from the deployment descriptor, any changes made to Faces JSP files may

not be seen by the server until it is restarted. This parameter is usually set

to true while the Faces JSP files are being developed and debugged in order to

improve the performance of the development environment.</description>

<param-name>com.ibm.ws.jsf.JSP_UPDATE_CHECK</param-name>

<param-value>true</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

Load JSF runtime when the application server starts up. If this parameter is set to false or removed,

JSF runtime will be loaded and initialized when the first JSF request is processed.

This may disable custom JSF extensions, such as factories defined in the project.</description>

<param-name>com.ibm.ws.jsf.LOAD_FACES_CONFIG_AT_STARTUP</param-name>

<param-value>true</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

If set to true disables use of MultipartFacesContext, allowing underlying implementations to be used.

MultipartFacesContext is required when the FileUpload component is used, and can be disabled otherwise.</description>

<param-name>com.ibm.faces.DISABLE_JWL_MULTIPART_CONTEXT</param-name>

<param-value>false</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

Value, in milliseconds, to be used for Expires header for resources served by the JavaScript Resource Servlet.

Default is never (31536000000 milliseconds or 1 year).</description>

<param-name>com.ibm.faces.RESOURCE_EXPIRE_MS</param-name>

<param-value>31536000000</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

Defines the strictness of the conversion when converting from a string to a date.

The higher the value, the more exactly the value must conform to the format.

If 0 (liberal), all 'literals' are ignored while parsing a value, mis-ordered components will be rearranged,

any missing component is supplied using the current datetime, misspellings and incomplete spellings are allowed

(to the extent that they can be evaluated), 'E' and other non-unique components are ignored.

If 1 (strict), all 'literals' are ignored while parsing a value, any missing component is supplied using the current

datetime, misspellings and incomplete spellings are allowed (to the extent that they can be evaluated),

'E' and other non-unique components are ignored. For example if the pattern is MMMM dd, yyyy a user can enter 'Feb/02/04'

and it will be parsed as February 02, 2004.

If 2 (very strict), an exact match is required except long month names can be 'shortened' to the minimum number of unique

characters and 'E' and other non-unique components are ignored. Literals must match exactly.

Default is 1.</description>

<param-name>com.ibm.faces.DATETIME_ASSIST_STRICTNESS</param-name>

<param-value>1</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

Defines the strictness of the conversion when converting from a string to a number.

The higher the value, the more exactly the value must conform to the pattern.

For numbers, currently strictness levels of 0 and 1 are equivalent. If the strictness is 2,

if number is signed, the sign must be provided (otherwise it's assumed positive).

Default is 1.</description>

<param-name>com.ibm.faces.NUMBER_ASSIST_STRICTNESS</param-name>

<param-value>1</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

Defines the path for resources such as JavaScript libraries and images.

The value can be either:

1. An empty string. Context path of the current application will be used.

2. A path string. Example: /project13. A number. Specifies the number of nodes to use from the context path starting from the left.

Example: With a value of 1 if the context path is /screen/faces/SSID110267549/RID1102676

the path will be evaluated as /screen

Default is an empty string.</description>

<param-name>com.ibm.faces.USE_UNENCODED_CONTEXT_PATH</param-name>

<param-value></param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

Sets a custom url-pattern for the JavaScript Resource servlet.

Should match servlet mapping setting for the JavaScript Resource servlet. If the default default mapping

value '/.ibmjsfres/*' is modified, this context-param should also be modified.

</description>

<param-name>com.ibm.faces.JS_RESOURCE_SERVLET_URL_PATTERN</param-name>

<param-value>/.ibmjsfres/*</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

If set to true, forces JavaScript Resource Servlet to cache all resources on the server.

This can be useful when client-side caching is turned off.</description>

<param-name>com.ibm.faces.JS_RESOURCE_SERVLET_CACHE</param-name>

<param-value>false</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

<param-value>converter.properties</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

If set to true, the entire JavaScript library, containing code for all components, will be included

in the generated pages as one file. If set to false or removed, multiple smaller JavaScript files will be

included, depending on the components used on the page.Default is false.</description>

<param-name>com.ibm.faces.USE_HXCLIENT_FULL</param-name>

<param-value>false</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

Specifies maximum size for the request content processed by MultipartExternalContext.

Can be used to prevent large files from being uploaded.

Takes an integer value, in bytes. 0 or empty means there is no limit.

Default is no limit.

Hello Raj,

I have the same problem. My environment is exactly the same except that I use JBoss 7.1.1.Final instead of WAS7.

Did you make any progress?
