A4J function calls always fail in RichFaces 4

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • JBoss Web Framework Kit (WFK)
    • 2.5.0
    • RichFaces (RF)
    • 4

Issue

  • A4J function calls always fail when a application migrates to RF 4 from RF 3

    A4J.AJAX.onError = function(req,status,message)  {
....
};  

A4J.AJAX.onExpired = function(loc, expiredMsg){
....
}

Resolution

  • The A4J object no longer exists in RichFaces 4 as JSF 2 standardized basic ajax features. Use jsf.ajax.AddOnEvent(callback) and jsf.ajax.addOnError(callback) methods1.
