Failed to define class org.richfaces.renderkit.ComponentControlBehaviorRenderer in Module "deployment.myapp.ear:main" from Service Module Loader

when i started my jboss 7 in debug mode in eclipse indigo i would get the following error:

Failed to define class org.richfaces.renderkit.ComponentControlBehaviorRenderer in Module "deployment.myapp.ear:main" from Service Module Loader: java.lang.LinkageError: Failed to link org/richfaces/renderkit/ComponentControlBehaviorRenderer (Module "deployment.myapp.ear:main" from Service Module Loader)

the error was that the richfaces jars were in the wrong folder, /lib
they should have been in /WebContent/WEB-INF/lib

Error getting reflective information for class X with ClassLoader Module, ClassNotFoundException: Y

i would get this error when i started my jboss 7 in debug mode in eclipse indigo:

even though class X (TransportRequestDataModel) which called class Y (UIDataTable) were positioned correctly in the war hierarchy:
* richfaceswebapp.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/myapp/richfacesweb/tabledatahandlers/transportrequestlist/TransportRequestDataModel

* richfaceswebapp.war/WEB-INF/lib/richfaces-components-ui-4.2.1.Final.jar

i finally found out that i was getting the error because i had upgraded from richfaces 4.2.0.Final to 4.2.1.Final and i hadn't changed the build path in eclipse, so all i needed to do was edit the .classpath file to make sure it pointed to the correct jar version, i.e. 4.2.1.Final:

<classpathentry kind="lib" path="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/richfaces-components-api-4.2.1.Final.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/richfaces-components-ui-4.2.1.Final.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/richfaces-core-api-4.2.1.Final.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/richfaces-core-impl-4.2.1.Final.jar"/>

can't browse repositories from svn root in eclipse - repository has been moved svn: repository moved permanently to X; please relocate

before you set up SVN, i suggest you read these 2 links below.

there's 2 ways to set up svn:

* 1 repository

* multiple repositories

http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#multi-proj

here's a discussion about the pros and cons of each method:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1761513/multiple-svn-repositories-or-single-company-repository

when i tried to list the repos in eclipse's svn browser with the following url:
http://example.com/svn

i would get the following error:

error validating location: "org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: repository has been moved
svn: repository moved permanently to X; please relocate

this is because i chose method 2, multiple repositories, so svn isn't a repository, thus the error message is technically correct.


UPDATE 20131030

i ran into this same error today while trying to create a tag from trunk, like this:
svn copy https://example.com/repos/myrepo/trunk/ https://example.com/repos/myrepo/tags/20131029-nick-rich-extdt/ -m "almost got context menu for trq list working, but dan says to start with primefaces instead"

which gave this output:
svn: Repository moved permanently to 'https://example.com/repos/tc_inc2/'; please relocate


all i had to do to make it work was just change "repos" to "svn" (both are valid for browsing the repo, but it required that i used "svn":
svn copy https://example.com/svn/myrepo/trunk/ https://example.com/svn/myrepo/tags/20131029-nick-rich-extdt/ -m "almost got context menu for trq list working, but dan says to start with primefaces instead"

1 tip for faster internet browsing

set your DNS to use google's domain name servers

so what i did on ubuntu was this:

sudo nano -w /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

look for this line:

#supersede domain-name "fugue.com home.vix.com";

then directly below it, paste in this line:

supersede domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4;

restart networking (i just push the wireless button on my laptop off then on again, or you could pull out your cat5 internet cable and put it back into your computer again), then check to see that your change has taken effect:

sudo nano -w /etc/resolv.conf

you should see at least these 2 lines:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
