[solved] problems w/rich client component demo

Question

Hello -
I've been trying to run the rich client component demo as described in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/demo/adf_faces_rc_demo.html
in TP2 of JDeveloper 11. I've run into a few problems. (I am assuming that the article will work as written in TP2 since the date on the article is September 2007.)
(minor) The link to the demo under the "Running the Demo from Oracle JDeveloper" section is broken. The link in the section for "Installing the ADF Faces Component Demo on a Standalone OC4J" works.
Attempt #1: When I create the project from the WAR file and try to run index.jspx, JDev tries to compile the project. It shows the following errors:
    C:\workspace\adffacesdemo\adffacesdemo\public_html\srg\bug6367532.jspx

Attempt #2: After deploying to OC4J 11 preview, navigate to Framework Features -> Drag and Drop. The page does not display. The console shows the following error:

Error: Cannot use #{demoDropHandler.handleFireDrop} to set deferred method in attribute dropListener. Value cannot be converted to return type oracle.adf.view.rich.dnd.DnDActionAre these known problems or am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks,

Answer 1

Nevermind. I thought I had TP2 but I think it was really TP1. Creating (and running) the project from the WAR file works for me now.
