javax.servlet.ServletException: com.sun.facelets.component.UIRepeat cannot be cast to org.richfaces.component.UIPanelMenuItem
so I think I need to get onto a resource to use
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
but as I'm fairly new to both java and jsf I need a bit of help. Can anyone suggest either the (probably small) java method to represent this intention or a really good resource specifically about programming dynamic stuff in RichFaces using java?
Naturally I've read the javadocs, but they don't give me a concrete example of some JSF, the associated backing bean java code, and a screen shot of the resulting component.
It may be asking a bit much, but I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that with these three, I'd be able to understand the idea and apply it to many other component types in this family.
The RF demo doesn't include dynamic panelMenus or drop downs so I'm a bit stumped.
Thanks IA
EDIT @BalusC: Thanks for the response, here is complete stack trace:
