I want to use a custom skin for the adf components.
Based on adf-faces-demo, this is what I did:
1) copy the skin files to the WEB-INF dir of the project
WEB-INF/skins/beach
WEB-INF/skins/purple
2)create an adf-faces-skins.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<skins xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/adf/view/faces/skin";>
<skin>
<id>
purple.desktop
</id>
<family>
purple
</family>
<render-kit-id>
org.apache.myfaces.adf.desktop
</render-kit-id>
<style-sheet-name>
skins/purple/purpleSkin.css
</style-sheet-name>
<bundle-name>
org.apache.myfaces.adfdemo.resource.SkinBundle
</bundle-name>
</skin>
<skin>
<id>
beach.desktop
</id>
<family>
beach
</family>
<render-kit-id>
org.apache.myfaces.adf.desktop
</render-kit-id>
<style-sheet-name>
skins/beach/beach.css
</style-sheet-name>
</skin>
</skins>
3) create an adf-faces-config.xml with the following skin family tag
<skin-family>beach</skin-family>
When I run my app on desktop, it does not display my app in the beach skin.
However, in the source it does refer to beach skin as
<link rel="stylesheet" charset="UTF-8" type="text/css"
href="/tests-column-context-root/adf/styles/cache/beach-desktop-${version}-en-gecko.css">Any
pointers to the solution of this problem ? -Piyush
