Dear Sirs et Madames,
AM trying to incorporate a little ajax to my apps but am only just learning how. I have created the following xhtml file to display my very simplistic first attempt

However when I try run it, it gives me the following exception

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

What JSF implementation are you using?

I know for certain that JSF 1.1 does not have <f:ajax> tag

Where do i verify what JSF implementation am using, what jar/s in particular, and how will i b able to tell what version they are? I suspecct though am using 1.2 but would like to verify. If I AM using 1.2, what are my options for ajaxifying without having to resort to JSF 2.0?

Thanks again

JSF 1.2 didn't support the f:ajax tag either. That came in in JSF 2.0. However, you can have lots of AJAX fun with one of the AJAX-supporting extension tagsets such as RichFaces or IceFaces. RichFaces works quite well with JSF 1.2.

Sometimes the only way things ever got fixed is because people became uncomfortable.

Well, There are a couple of ways to find out. if you're using Tomcat 5, than at least you're using JSF 1.1, if you're using Tomcat 6, than for sure you are using JSF 1.2 because JSF 1.1 doesn't work on Tomcat 6.

or you can unzip your jsf-api.jar and look into MANIFEST.MF in the META-INF directory. That's the most accurate way to tell what version of JSF you're using

Forget this weirdo. You guys wanna see something really neat? I just have to take off my shoe .... (hint: it's a tiny ad)
