richfaces a4j with Tomcat 6

[Shailesh Paranjpe]

Hi
Am new to JSF. I would like to understand why a simple example I have created does not work when I use facelets. A sample I got off the net uses jsp and works well.
I want to use richfaces a4j:support on inputText. When I run the app, in onblur, it does not seem to trigger an ajax request to the servlet. So I figure it has to do with my web.xml settings and/or faces-config.xml. I have attached both the files here...

I would like to further extend this example to work with Seam..

Any tips in this regard is appreciated. I am using eclipse 3.4.2 and server config etc for tomcat has been created.

As far as I can tell, I see not errors/exceptions

Regards

.... I solved it myself.. the answer regarding my ajax request was found in here..

http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/CommonAjaxRequestsProblems#ajaxRequestNotFired

I will now try and add Seam listeners and go further.. this is exciting and the forums have been a great way to learn
