Question

JSF + RichFaces gives me an HTTP Status 404 in my pages

Answer 1

+2 A:

You need to put the webcontent files in a /faces root folder, exactly the path as it is in the URL.

Another way is to replace the url-pattern of /faces/* by *.jsf so that you can invoke them without the /faces path, for example: http://localhost:8080/Monaco/cadastro/pessoa/listar.jsf. By the way, you do not need to rename the actual .jsp files to .jsf.

If you want to prevent direct access to the JSP files (otherwise one would be able to request the .jsp file and face a RuntimeException: FacesContext not found), then you can best move the files (including folder structure) into the WEB-INF folder.

Hope this helps.

Edit: you added the appserver logs. The root cause of the first problem is the following:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.digester.Digester

This is fairly self-explaining: the mentioned class is missing in the runtime classpath. As the package name already hints it is Apache Commons Digester which you can get at http://commons.apache.org/digester. Put it in the runtime classpath (WEB-INF/lib) and restart. See if the subsequent errors will disapear or not (may be indirectly caused by the same problem). If not, come back and edit the stacktrace in your question (don't forget to select it and press the code button (0101011010) or press the Ctrl+K).

Thankz for the reply! Yeah... I was using the /faces/ pattern in the urls and itwas not working (it was, but before I install the RichFaces jars), tried the changes you said, changed /faces/* to *.jsf and tried to access the url http://localhost:8080/Monaco/cadastro/pessoa/listar.jsf, still not work...

Well, maybe `FacesServlet` failed to start. Read the appserver logs.

In the logs I have a lot of erros related to org.jboss.beans.metadata.plugins.AbstractPropertyMetaData, only this class, can it be the root of all evils? I think it's the combo of JRE and JBoss version, because I had a look in a friends code and it's almost the same thing, and it's working, but in an older version of JBoss... Let's see...

Thankz man, I just posted the answer, and now I see you had updated, you're right, that was the problem. I had to remove the logs because it got too big, I'll post only the lines that matters. Hugs!

You're welcome.

Answer 2

A:

Looking in the logs of JBoss I realized that there where some apache classes missing that RichFaces depends to work (Apache Digester and BeanUtils), so it stopped serving my pages, it was not the urls that were wrong, but that startup errors, well, since I did line by line, step by step, what each of the docs from jboss, eclipse, jpa and richfaces told me, somebody missed to say I would need that packages, I think it's a RichFaces' fault, they could tell in the getting started docs that it'll need some extra packages from apache. Anyway, thankz for all that replied, I really appreciated you help!
