Swapping JSF implementation in JEE5 AS

[hubaghdadi]

Hi.
I have been reading an article at java.sun.com regarding what is new in JEE5.
According to the article, it is impossible to swap JSF implementation, we are forced to use the application server's JSF version.
If this is the case, how can we use Trinidad for example in a Seam application deployed in JEE5 AS?
Thanks.

Trinidad isn't a JSF implementation, it is a set of components (like RichFaces) for JSF. It runs on any JSF implementation AFAIK.

I don't know a lot about Trinidad but AFAIK Trinidad offers a complete replacement of JSF standard components.
So, in order to use Trinidad, my application has to use a JSF implementation (like Sun RI or Apache MyFaces)?
And if it is the case, it is impossible to deploy Trinidad & MyFaces on JEE5 AS according to JEE5 restriction...
Please correct my if I'm wrong.

Yes.

Assuming you mean JBoss AS 5 by JEE5, then I think you can

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBoss5AndMyFaces

but of course this would be untested/unsupported by JBoss. I suggest you ask about this on a JBoss AS forum.
