Question

Hi I have followed the setup guide at:
http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/installation.html

When I include the following code in my faces-config.xml file I get an error when I hit a page:

<application>
        <default-render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.core</default-render-kit-id>
    </application>

Start of Error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No RenderingContext

When I remove that piece of code from my faces-config.xml file I can navigate my site as normal, but when I hit a page that has some sample Trinidad code nothing is displayed…just an empty page.

Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

I removed the following from my web.xml and its working now, any ideas? Confused 🙁

  <context-param>
    <param-name>org.ajax4jsf.VIEW_HANDLERS</param-name>
    <param-value>com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler</param-value>
  </context-param>

Thanks

I’ve actually discovered an excellent control for Richfaces that will provide the same functionailty. I’m going to go with this instead.

As BalsusC suggested, mixing different ajaxical component libraries might not be such a good idea.

Additionally, I have found the documentation and examples for Trinidad to be quite poor; Particularly in comparasion to Richfaces.

Would I be correct in thinking Trinidad is slowly dying?
