Using RichFaces 4 in a JSF 2.0 application

Question

I'm trying to add RichFaces to JSF 2.0 application, but I get this: The requested resource () is not available. That's from Console:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.ajax4jsf.Filter

My web.xml:

Since RichFaces 4.0 you do not need the org.ajax4jsf.Filter. This is also not included in RF 4.0 anymore. Please read the developer guide for RichFaces 4.0, not the one for RichFaces 3.x or older. For RF 4.0 you do not need to put anything in web.xml. Just remove the entire <filter> and <filter-mapping>.
