[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-13458?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Brian Leathem updated RF-13458: ------------------------------- Description: There appear to be compatibility issues with the richfaces-5.0.0.Alpha2 release and the javassist package. Using older versions of the package lead to failures stating that new javassist methods are not available. When using the newer libraries (3.14 -> javassist-3.18.0-GA) exceptions are generated on the use of previously functioning command links (the corresponding methods are still the same signatures i.e. return String and take no parameters) {code} <rich:commandLink id="listByUnit" render="f_home,f_selections,g_body_wrapper" value="#{messages['listByUnit']}" title="#{messages['titleListByUnit']}" action="#{appController.selectCurrSelectionUnit}"/> {code} with {code} public String selectCurrSelectionUnit() {code} yields: {code} 2014-01-03 13:57:57,597 ERROR [org.jboss.seam.exception.Exceptions]
