  • The browser displays a pop-up "RichFaces is not defined" after adding a RichFaces portlet to a page in JBoss Portal 6.1.1

Resolution

  • The issue has been filed as BZ:

    • https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1080254 (RHJP 5)
    • https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1080249 (RHJP 6)

  • As an interim workaround, please apply the attached gatein-concurrency-servlet-filter.zip.

  • [Instruction for JBoss Portal 5.2.2]
  <filter>
    <filter-name>DashboardConcurrencyFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.redhat.jboss.support.DashboardConcurrencyFilter</filter-class>
     <init-param>
        <param-name>maxRetry</param-name>
    <param-value>100</param-value>
     </init-param>
  </filter>
  <filter>
    <filter-name>PageSaveConcurrencyFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.redhat.jboss.support.PageSaveConcurrencyFilter</filter-class>
     <init-param>
        <param-name>maxRetry</param-name>
        <param-value>100</param-value>
     </init-param>
  </filter>

...

  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>DashboardConcurrencyFilter</filter-name>
          <url-pattern>/u/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>PageSaveConcurrencyFilter</filter-name>
          <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
  • Make sure that these <filter-mapping> elements are AFTER <filter-mapping> for LocalizationFilter.

NOTE: If you deploy a custom portal container, you would need to configure the filter in its web.xml as well (e.g. gatein-sample-portal.ear/exo.portal.sample.portal.war-5.2.2.GA.war/WEB-INF/web.xml). No need to additionally place the jar inside the custom portal container EAR because gatein.ear/lib is visible from other EARs.

  • This Filter is designed to avoid concurrency against UserSite creation and page save which is described in BZ1059036 (See https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/705793) and BZ1080254 (This issue). This only serialize the first accesses to a dashboard or page save action so will not affect the performance of usual use.
