An Introduction To JBoss RichFaces

Tutorial

Installation

We will start by downloading Eclipse.

Eclipse and WTP (Web Tools Project)

Create a new directory on the drive called richfaces. (Note the lack of spaces in the directory name.)
We will start by downloading Eclipse 3.3 and WebTools plug-ins. Go to the page http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/europa/winter and select Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers to download. This distribution already includes WTP (Web Tools Project plug-ins). Even if you have Eclipse, it makes sense to have a separate installation just for the example, so it won’t affect any of your other work.)
Unzip the downloaded file inside the richfaces directory you created.

Make sure you download the right Eclipse version and JBoss Tools version:

JBoss Tools version	Works with Eclipse version.
JBoss Tools 2.1.x	Eclipse 3.3 (Europa)

JBoss Tools

Download JBoss Tools by going to the page:http://labs.jboss.com/tools/download/ . Look for the latest 2.1.x GA version.
Click on the link labeled “All Plugins – Windows/Linux” and download the file.
Unzip the file inside the richfaces directory

At the end of these steps, you should have the following structure:

richfaces
eclipse

Don’t start Eclipse yet, we have one last step we need to complete: getting the project templates.

Project templates

Project templates will allow you to quickly create a project with RichFaces already configured.

Download this file: http://java.dzone.com/sites/all/files/richfaces-template.zip
Unzip the file and copy the content to
<eclipse>\plugins\org.jboss.tools.common.projecttemplates_X.X.X. You will be warned that you are overwriting some files, which you can safely do.

Tomcat

Download Tomcat 5.5 or 6.0 from http://tomcat.apache.org/ to the richfaces folder and unzip it.

At the end of these steps, you should have the following structure:

richfaces
eclipse
apache-tomcat-X.X.X

We are done with setup. Next, we are going to launch Eclipse and start building our application.

Hi,

I'm using this code on a seam project and it work properly, but, it doesn't work when the table datatable is sorted. I don't know how to get the row id after user has sorted the table. Now I use the position inside the List of elements I pass to the datatable.

thanks in advance

    private Set <Integer>rowsToUpdate;
    public Set <Integer>getRowsToUpdate() {
    	if (rowsToUpdate == null)rowsToUpdate =  new HashSet<Integer>();
     return rowsToUpdate;
    }  
    
    public void cambiarFavorito (CartItem cartItem) {
    	 
    	if (rowsToUpdate == null)rowsToUpdate =  new HashSet<Integer>();
    	 rowsToUpdate.clear();
    	 int i = 0;
    	 for (i = 0; i<resultList.size(); i++)
    	 {
    		 if (cartItem == resultList.get(i)){
    			 rowsToUpdate.add(i);
    			 break;
    		 }	
    	 }
    	 //CartItem cartItem = resultList.get(0);
    	 if (cartItem.getFavorito()==true) cartItem.setFavorito(false);
    	 else cartItem.setFavorito(true);
    	 resultList.remove(i);
    	 resultList.add(i,cartItem);

    	}

Hello, I just bought the "Practical RichFaces" hoping to learn Richfaces using "JBOSS Developer Studio 2.0.0GA. I downloaded the rcbook-templates.zip, unzip, and copy the contents (ie the lib and template directories) to the (..\studio\eclipse\plugins\org.jboss.tools.common.projecttemplates_3.0.0.GA-R200903141247-H4) directories. Everyting went as outlined in the book, even the warning that some files will be overwritten. I then follow the instructions on page 14 to create a new JSF project. But I tried to select the JSF environment, I could not see Richfaces anywhere??? Please let me know how I can get started on using Richfaces on "JBOSS Developer Studio", which, I would expect to support Richfaces out of the box:( Thank You

Max Katz replied on Thu, 2009/10/08 - 10:23pm in response to: Ken Kham

Did you create a new workspace after copying the templates?

Max Katz replied on Thu, 2009/10/08 - 10:23pm in response to: nabil esseme7

I can't tell you what the problem is, I only ran this application with Facelets.

john green green replied on Mon, 2009/10/26 - 3:28am

There is currently no option to time out keepAlive objects. nike shoes russiaYou can try do to it programmatically, it's an attribute of UIViewRoot. Seam converstations would be a better solution.

Dragan Mijailovic replied on Wed, 2009/10/28 - 8:07am

Can I use "keepAlive bean" for the <rich:tree/> component? For example:

<a4j:keepAlive name="someForm"/>

<rich:tree value="#{someForm.data}">

Max Katz replied on Wed, 2009/10/28 - 10:20pm in response to: Dragan Mijailovic

a4j:keepAlive is not dependent on any component, you can use it with any bean. You are basically getting page scope when using this tag.

Dragan Mijailovic replied on Thu, 2009/10/29 - 8:41am

Thanks a lot. The "keepAlive bean" or bean with page scope should implement the java.io.Serializable interface and because of that I asked about "keepAlive bean" and rich:tree component. I see that org.richfaces.model.TreeNode implements java.io.Serializable interface.

Now, my example with rich:tree is good except I can't know when a node is collapsed. I use this example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1509962/is-there-an-event-for-collapsing-a-richtree-node

but state.isExpanded(key) is always true!

Is there an out of the box solution to filter tree objects, just like <rich:dtatTable>? if there is none, how would you go about implementing this fuctionality. I'm trying to implement help page.

Hi Max, I'm trying your tutorial, really good stuff. Anyway, how to manage so can running on IE 8? Anyway, if you don't mind, give me your strategy to be master like you now. :) Thanks Max.

Hi all! I also had the problem with the save button on the modal panel. The solution for me was to replace the import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; to import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent; in the userBean.java clas. After saving everything and restarting the server, everything is working fine. Hope it helps! Peter

It should work in IE8 - there is nothing special you need to do.

javax.faces.event.ActionEvent - is the correct class to use. It will not work with the Swing class (java.awt.*)

hi, i couldn’t find file hierarchy which is similar to "\plugins\org.jboss.tools.common.projecttemplates_X.X.X. " there is no org.jboss.xxx... package so i couldn't insert the template in file which specified in the tutorial what shall i do? i followed each instruction in tutorial i found the expected result except project template step-3.

The problem may be with where the JBoss Tools unzipped. On a Mac it creates a separate eclipse directory (eclipse2) instead of adding the files to the existing eclipse directory.

Note I am having the same problem. JSF Project is not an option that shows up. Checking the Eclipse help, they say to create a JSF Project, one should create a New Dynamic Web Project. Is this a change perhaps since the book was published?

Make sure you have JBoss Tools installed. The option to create and export a JSF project is still there.
