I am using RichFaces and jsf 2.but when I moved to facelets some of
the rich component doesnt works for me. I am using
richfaces-api-3.3.4.Final.jar,
richfaces-impl-jsf2-3.3.4.Final.jar,
richfaces-ui-3.3.4.Final.jar.

Can anybody find what mistake I have done here?


RichFaces 3.x and JSF 2 works fine. I'm using JSF 2.2 and RichFaces 3.3.4.Final.
You need to disable built-in JSF 2 facelets and add dependency on old jsf-facelets 1.1.15 (as per https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/RichFaces333andJSF20).
However, keep in mind that Mojarra has a bug when it looks for DISABLE_FACELET_JSF_VIEWHANDLER instead of javax.faces.DISABLE_FACELET_JSF_VIEWHANDLER as per specification.

RichFaces component is getting rendered but broken

I am trying to create a RichFaces application and because of some reasons I am using quite old versions i.e. I have to work with JSF 1.2 and RichFaces 3.0.1.
I have got the JSF 1.2 components working but when I am trying to create a simple page with a RichFaces component then component is getting render but it is broken. Below is actual and expected look and feel:
Expected (this from here, code is also present over there, just scroll little below over there, my code is coming below):
Actual:
I am getting menu options correctly but missing all those blue stuff and look-and-feel.
It looked to me that some CSS or images are missing, but I am using the RichFaces JAR and there is no mention in the tutorial that additional images/css would be required so I am ruling out this.
Then I thought that it could be container issue, I checked RichFaces technical requirements and for Apache Tomcat it should not be greater than 6.0 (Apache Tomcat 5.5 - 6.0), and I was working on 7.x, so I jumped that bingo I found the issue, but alas that I got same issue even when I deployed in Tomcat 5.5.
As per best of my knowledge I am having correct configuration details and all required JARs, but considering the situation I am having feeling that I am missing some configuration or something else.

How to separate head?

Here how look my .jspx files:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"

<jsp:output omit-xml-declaration="true" doctype-root-element="HTML" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5"/>
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>

<f:loadBundle basename="my.pack.error" var="e"/>
<f:view>
<html>

</head>
<body>
<h:form>
<h:commandLink .........
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
</f:view>
</jsp:root>
In order to keep my view files clear and small
I would like to put all above and after body in
templates and include it in my .ispx files and pass title as parameter.
If anybody knows solution, please help.

This is one of the reasons why JSP(X) is abandoned, deprecated and succeeded by Facelets 4 years ago. JSP(X) doesn't offer easy templating capabilities in order to achieve this kind of requirements.
Just migrate to Facelets. Rename .jspx to .xhtml and replace <jsp:xxx> tags by <ui:xxx> tags. Your functional requirement is answered in 2nd example of How to include another XHTML in XHTML using JSF 2.0 Facelets?
Facelets is natively available in JSF 2.x. If you're still using JSF 1.x, then you can just install it separately as per its documentation.

<welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file> <!--switched extension from html to xhtml -->
<welcome-file-list>
with this change my localhost will not crash, however I get a blank page (none of my JSF element shows up) I'm having a feeling it is because none of my JSf tags are getting parsed, however i don't really know where the problem is, can anyone please help me?

Thanks.
update:
Changed my web.xml welcome-file-list to
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
and changed my servlet-mapping to
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
There is no crash now, but my JSF elements does not show up, i only get a blank page.

FacesExceptionFilter OmniFaces using error pages inside WEB-INF

I need some help in using a OmniFaces Feature.
I am trying to use the FacesExceptionFilter to redirect the user to an error page when an exception is encountered.

<location>/WEB-INF/pages/errors/pageNotFound.xhtml</location>
</error-page>
However when an exception happens the user is just redirected to the default 500 error page.
The redirection will only work if I move error pages out of the WEB-INF folder
/WEB-INF/pages/errors/pageNotFound.xhtml --> /pages/errors/pageNotFound.xhtml
But this would mean that the error page can now be accessed directly. But in the Omnifaces showcase this should be possible. I don't know what I am missing please help...
Here is the web.xml of the Omnifaces showcase that shows that error pages in the WEB-INF is possible.

Summary
Redirect to error pages work if outside the WEB-INF.
Showcase shows that it should be possible.
I need help....
Thank you for your time
EDIT
It seems that "Redirect to error pages work if outside the WEB-INF." is not always true.
This error page will be displayed if outside of WEB-INF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:body>
<h1>#{"XXXXXXXX"}</h1>
</h:body>
</html>
This error page will not be displayed even if outside of WEB-INF. This Will result in the default 404 Page
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:body>
<h1>ZZZZZZZZZ</h1>
</h:body>
</html>

It seems that the FacesExceptionFilter is actually working if I place an EL expression or jsf component on the jsf page.
For some reason this error page will not work and will produce The default 404 page.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

However this error page will work.

Primefaces p:fileupload component problem

I have following libraries in my classpath :-
primefaces 2.0.1
commons-beanutils
commons-beanutils-bean-collection
commons-digestor
commons-fileUpload
commons-io
commons-logging
jhighlight
The file gets correctly uploaded in /tmp but in browser it always says HTTP error. Please help me. It used to work till yesterday. But today i did a fresh installation of Glassfish and it has stopped working.

A filter needs to be added to web.xml. So, add these lines to web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>PrimeFaces FileUpload Filter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.primefaces.webapp.filter.FileUploadFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>thresholdSize</param-name>
<param-value>51200</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>uploadDirectory</param-name>
<param-value>/tmp</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>PrimeFaces FileUpload Filter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
To be able to use the Primefaces fileUpload component, a few Apache Commons dependencies also need to be added:
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>1.3.2</version>
</dependency>

I have had some troubles with this component also. I seem to remember that by adding an id to the fileUpload component and/or the form, things started working for me. Worth a try.

i think you are missing enctype="multipart/form-data" in your h:form tag.

I had the same problem. And note that by deleting the cookies from my browser-firefox-and going to upload my application and it worked.

I'm using PRIMEFACES 2.2.1 and the problem is still there: HTTP error when Chrome or Firefox is used; all fine with IE. In my case, this apparently happens due to a reverse proxy shielding the actual server running the application. If the application is used through a direct URL reference (http://server:port/some path), it works fine; if the reverse proxy URL is used, the requests fail. I don't know why this fails in FF and GC and doesn't do so in IE.
