<rich:dataList> Tag Library supports namespace: http://richfaces.org/rich, but no tag was defined for name: dataList

I have defined the name space xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich", but still getting an error saying " Tag Library supports namespace: http://richfaces.org/rich, but no tag was defined for name: dataList".

Here is the code :

<rich:dataList var="var" value="#{backingBean.value}" rows="5">
   <h:outputText value="#{var.property1}"/>
</rich:dataList>

Any idea why this is happening.

Thanks, Ravi

Solution

  • The dataList component was deprecated in version 4.0.0. From the Migration Guide:

    The functionality of the old <rich:dataList>, <rich:dataDefinitionList>, and 
<rich:dataOrderedList> components is now available through the 
<rich:list> component.

    You should be able to use the list component.

    Another way to confirm that a tag lib is available is to check the taglib definitions in the jar file that's providing them. For example, you should be able to reference the richfaces-components-ui.jar:META-INF/rich.taglib.xml file to see what tags and attributes are available for that specific version.
