Hello all,

I am testing our ADF BC/Faces app against the 10.1.3.1 developer's preview release. Specifically, I am testing to see if bug 5058520 is fixed (as documented in the release notes for 10.1.3.1). I made a backup copy of my workspace/project folders and opened the backup copy in 10.1.3.1 - JDev asked me if I wanted to convert the format, and I said "yes" When I ran the application, I still saw that bug occuring (it has to do with one of the menu stamps rendering improperly on af:Page). I then deleted all of my "classes" directories in each project and re-built - "no dice" - the bug was still there. I then tried removing and re-adding the ADF Faces and JSF libraries to my user interface project - still "no dice."

Finally, what I did was to delete the files in my user interface WEB-INF\lib directory (adf-faces-impl.jar, standard.jar, jsf-impl.jar) and replace them with ones that I found lurking around in various directories of my 10.1.3.1 install. Voila, the bug was fixed.

My question: is there a better way of doing this? I thought perhaps if I simply deleted the files in WEB-INF\lib, JDeveloper might replace them for me with the newer versions, but this did not happen - I got a nice NPE when running my application. It would be nice to have some way to automate this process - I am not sure as of right now whether there are other JAR's that I need to replace or not - still testing.

Regards,

John

Hi John,

First - good that you first made a backup!

Second, as part of the investigation, after a fresh migration if you kept the original versions of standard.jar and jsf-impl.jar but manually mucked with adf-faces-impl.jar, is the bug fixed?

st

With 10.1.3.1 RC, does the old jsf-impl.jar work or do you have to do the manual delete/copy lib trick first to successfully run?

I will "ditto" Steve's last comment - I needed the jsf-impl.jar as well.

John

I just encountered this problem while working through the

"Introduction to ADF Faces/Trinidad Using JDeveloper"

tutorial.

I had JDeveloper 10.1.3.1 and upgraded to 10.1.3.2(.4066) and this problem cropped up.

I just had to pull the adf-faces-api.jar forward to solve the problem (as Didier suggested
in a recent blog posting of his (found via Google).

After I found this blog entry I went into Metalink and found several related entries. One of them pointed to a bug and while reading that bug history it seems like some folks thought this might be resolved?

The fact that this occurs with current 10.1.3.2 release would seem to indicate that
this is not fully resolved.

John, I'm not familiar how this tool works. This posting
was obviously more directed towards Steve.

Rgds, BP

I can confirm that yes -- you need to have

adf-faces-api.jar

in the WEB-INF/lib folder as well as the other two mentioned (adf-faces-impl.jar and jsf-impl.jar). Otherwise you'll get the methodNotFound() exception.

This is for the studio edition of 10.1.3.2 (migrating a project from 10.1.3).

Until this bug is fixed I've added some code to our ANT build scripts to force all the correct .jars into WEB-INF/lib... sigh.
