Binding HtmlMenuItem to MenuItem problem

tc1st910437 Nov 23, 2009 9:42 PM

Hello, I'm trying to binding a web ui component, but can not success.

There is "CREATE HtmlMenuItem OK!!!" message show in eclipse console without error,
but no "888" menu item in the drop down menu.

The project was create by eclipse -> New -> Seam Web Project,
and I copy "richfaces-impl.jar", "richfaces-ui.jar" to project-ear/EarContent/lib in eclipse.

Should I need other setting or configuration??

Who can tell me what is the problem, please.

@Name("testBean")
public class TestBean {

 private HtmlMenuItem hmi;

 public HtmlMenuItem getMenuItem() {
 if (hmi == null) {
 hmi = new HtmlMenuItem();
 }
 hmi.setSubmitMode("none");
 hmi.setValue("888");
 System.out.println("CREATE HtmlMenuItem OK!!!");
 return hmi;
 }

 public void setMenuItem(HtmlMenuItem hmi) {
 this.hmi = hmi;
 }
}

 <h:form>
 <rich:toolBar>
 <rich:dropDownMenu submitMode="none" value="OXOX">
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="none" value="777">
 </rich:menuItem>
 <rich:menuItem binding="#{testBean.menuItem}">
 </rich:menuItem>
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="none" value="999">
 </rich:menuItem>
 </rich:dropDownMenu>
 </rich:toolBar>
 </h:form>

My develope tools:
eclipse j2ee 3.5.1
jboss tools 3.1.0 milestone 4
jboss 5.1.0 ga
jboss-seam 2.2.0 ga

Hi,

and I copy "richfaces-impl.jar", "richfaces-ui.jar" to project-ear/EarContent/lib in eclipse

So I guess you are having two instances of RF in classpath - that's not a correct configuration.

to nbelaevski,

Because it show "HtmlMenuItem not found" error, so I added these jar files into project-ear/EarContent/lib

If I remove them, the message show again

Hello nbelaevski,

I put three richfaces-xx.jar into project-ear/EarContent/lib,
and removed them from project/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib,

There is no errors show in eclipse console, but can not show web item in page view, still.

You shouldn't be binding components to EJB beans, that's wrong from the architectural aspect of view. Check example RF applications in EAR layout for an example.

thank nbelaevski's reminding,

I found the solution that is,

first, move all jar files from project/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib to project-ear/EarContent/lib

second, add "lib/" to project/WebContent/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Manifest-Version: 1.0 Class-Path: MENU-ejb.jar jboss-seam.jar lib/

by the way, my test bean was a JavaBean, not a EjbBean,
it just place inside "project-ejb" ^^
