Skinning not working ?
To start of, I am only starting to use JSF and RichFaces.
A) Does skinning and theming apply to JSF tags ... or only to RichFaces tags ?
B) I am trying out the rich:panel as below, but I am not seeing the skinning like that shown in http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/panel.jsf?c=panel&tab=usage
To start off:
1) I am running JBoss 7.1
2) My web.xml has the skin defined to deepMarine ( one of the pre-defined skins ):
<?xml version="1.0"?>

3) The contents of my WAR file:
$ unzip -l test.war

4) I have the following testSkin.xhtml
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">
<rich:panel>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Example Panel Header"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="Example Test in Panel"/>
</rich:panel>
</html>
5) When I open the testSkin.jsf via my browser, all I get is the bland, non-skinned HTML output:
6) The HTML output is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><div class="rf-p " id="j_idt3"><div class="rf-p-hdr " id="j_idt3_header">Example Panel Header</div><div class="rf-p-b " id="j_idt3_body">Example Test in Panel</div></div>
</html>
I must have missed a very simple instruction, but I could not figure it out .. Been banging my head for several hours now.
Did I miss putting something in my WAR file ??
Do I have to copy the deepMarine.skin.properties from richfaces-core-impl-4.2.2.jar into META-INF/skins of my own WAR archive ?
Thanks.
