RAD v7 problem

[Augustynowicz, Dawid (Dawid)]

After some debug I found solution

 

In RAD v7 JSF implementation IBM introduced some AJAX solution . A4J filter is loaded properly. The problem is because there is colision between A4J renderer and RAD renderkits and it behaves very similar to problems that other people had when Ajax filter wasn't loaded - JavaScripts in header were not generated.  Created by RAD  faces-config contains:

 

I found that in org.ajax4jsf.framework.ajax.xmlfilter.BaseXMLFilter there is some checking od AJAXREQUEST paramenter. Request with parameter: ?AJAXREQUEST=true causes exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.ibm.faces.renderkit.DefaultAjaxRenderer incompatible with org.ajax4jsf.framework.renderer.AjaxContainerRenderer

at org.ajax4jsf.framework.ajax.AjaxViewRoot.encodeAjax(AjaxViewRoot.java:570)

at org.ajax4jsf.framework.ajax.AjaxViewRoot.encodeChildren(AjaxViewRoot.java:430)

at javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag.encodeChildren(UIComponentTag.java:611)

at javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag.doEndTag(UIComponentTag.java:548)

at com.sun.faces.taglib.jsf_core.ViewTag.doEndTag(ViewTag.java:216)

at com.ibm._jsp._sample._jspx_meth_f_view_0(_sample.java:322).

....

Solution is to remove from faces-config.xml piece of code generated by RAD:

 <factory>

<faces-context-factory>

com.ibm.faces.context.AjaxFacesContextFactory</faces-context-factory>

<render-kit-factory>

com.ibm.faces.renderkit.AjaxRenderKitFactory</render-kit-factory>

</factory>

After that everything started working fine.

Thanks

Hi there,

I have exact the same problem and follow the solution, but it still doesn't work. I am testing the "Greeter" application in RichFaces developer's guide (Chapter3). With your solution, the exception has gone, but the input value still can't be displayed.

If you have solved the problem, can you please let me know the details. Thanks a lot !
