Can Bootsfaces be used with Richfaces?

I have a web application with the following:

  • JSF 2.2.6
  • Java 1.7
  • Tomcat 8
  • Richfaces 4.5.7
  • Omnifaces 2.2

I would like to enhance the look and feel of the web app to use Bootsfaces. I have added Bootsfaces jar to my project (via .ivy) and rebuilt.

Before even updating the first web page to use Bootsfaces in the project I wanted to see if there were any conflicts after adding the Bootsfaces jar. It seems there is. I am getting the following errors shown in Firebug:

  • ReferenceError: jsf is not defined
  • TypeError: RichFaces.ui is undefined

Does anyone know whether Bootsfaces works with Richfaces and if so could they kindly provide a link with migration steps to follow?

Some how this question near to your question stackoverflow.com/questions/24213655/… but i think no will able to answer your exact question ,reason is that very less people are using Richfaces also Richfaces is maintenance project from last couple of years . - Subodh Joshi
Thanks Subodh. I found out today that Richfaces is closing down as of June 2016. So I'm currently looking at migrating from Richfaces to PrimeFaces. Hopefully it is not too painful. After that, I will take another look at Bootsfaces. - user1746582
With Primefaces you can easily integrate BootsFaces ,i dont know whats your project we migrated our project from Richfaces to Primefaces in 2009 when i heard about this. I dont know how much issues for you. - Subodh Joshi
thanks again, it's a medium sized application with one major search/data table, so I think it's worth the effort. I also hear that PrimeFaces either currently (or will) support custom AngularJS. - user1746582
Primefaces already started PrimeNG which is currently 0.8 version .Let me know if u need further help. - Subodh Joshi

Currently, we, the BootsFaces team, do not support RichFaces. We strive for compatibility with PrimeFaces, OmniFaces, AngularFaces and - if possible - ButterFaces. Neither RichFaces nor ICEFaces are on our list.

However, if someone were to join our team in order to support RichFaces, they'd certainly be welcome!
