Using RichFaces 4 in a JSF 2.0 Application

Question

I am trying to add a RichFaces application to JSF 2.0, but I get the following: The requested resource () is not available. This is from the console:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.ajax4jsf.Filter

My web.xml:

Since you do not need RichFaces 4.0 org.ajax4jsf.Filter. It is also not included in RF 4.0. Check out the developer guide for RichFaces 4.0 , not RichFaces 3.x or later. For RF 4.0 you do not need to put anything in web.xml. Just delete everything <filter>and <filter-mapping>.
