I am using JSF with richfaces3.3.3, other jsf capabilities working but i don’t know why ajax not working, for example
following is the ajax command button which does not give error not generate error
<a4j:commandButton value="Say Hello" render="out"/>
may be it is due to ajax4sf filter but i have the filter why it could not catch jsf request ?
Do i need myfaces to work with ajax4jsf ?
Following is my web.xml and rest of code.

In Richfaces 3.3.3, the a4j:commanButton doesn’t have the attribute “render“. Instead, it has “reRender“. Change your attribute and it should work.
