Richfaces 3.1.2 breaks SJSAS 9.1 Admin web-app, when the libs are put into domain1/lib folder
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-1255
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-1255
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 (build b58g-fcs)
Richfaces 3.1.2
            Reporter: Rene Rattur
         Attachments: stack_trace.zip

When the Richfaces 3.1.2 libs are put into a domains lib folder under SJSAS 9.1, the Admin web application breaks.
I filed a bug report on glassfish https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3626, here's what they had to say about this:

"In order to understand what is happening you have to know a little bit about how
JSF configures itself.  It looks for faces-config.xml files in the classpath to
see if should add new jsf extensions (such as a new ViewHandler) to help it
process jsf pages.  JSF does NOT do anything to ensure that a new component
(i.e. ViewHanler) doesn't break other custom jsf extensions.  It is unfortunate
that these extensions can't be restricted to a subset of URLs, or be guarenteed
to behave well.

In this case, Ajax4JSF does not behave well.  It both of your stack traces it
appears Ajax4JSF is not doing the right thing.  In the first, it is not handling
the rendering of the page and has either changed the viewId or done something
else to cause the default viewHandler to also not handle it (it appears it is
redispatching recursively b/c of this).  In the 2nd example, it is attempting to
 handle a JSFTemplating page instead of delegating to JSFTemplating -- it is
unable to do so and fails.

Ajax4JSF could fix both of these problems -- I cannot.  Based on these stack
traces, I would strongly suggest that you not include Ajax4JSF in a shared lib
area as it will effect ALL JSF applications, not just the ones you want it to
effect.  Instead place the Ajax4JSF jar files in the WEB-INF/lib of your
application(s)."
