    Can you run a JSF 2.1 app in Wildfly 10?

      I have an older application built on JSF 2.1 and IceFaces 3.3.0. We are currently trying to upgrade from an old version of JBoss to Wildfly 10.

       

      The eventual goal is to upgrade to JSF 2.2 and IceFaces 4.1, but we'd like to do this in steps. The first step being get the current application running in Wildfly 10.

       

      I know that Wildfly 10 ships with JSF 2.2 support. Is it possible to roll it back to JSF 2.1? Currently, I have modified the file jboss-deployment-structure.xml to exclude the JSF subsystem and use my installed version (Mojarra 2.1.29).  I am able to deploy and run the application, but none of my ajax tags are working. I don't get any errors, they simply don't work. So, I'm assuming there is some other dependency that I need to change as well.

       

      Has anyone else tried to run a JSF 2.1 app in Wildfly 10? Is it even possible, or am I wasting my time?

       

      Any help is greatly appreciated.

       

      Thanks.

       

      - Chris

          In response to my own question, it would appear that there are problems running a JSF 2.1 app in Wildfly 10. In particular, I get the following error:

          This seems to be a problem that was in older versions of JBoss, but was fixed:

            This error just indicate that there is something wrong with some jar file, noting more.

             

            how does your deployment look like?

            can you post output of jar -tf <name-of-your-deployment>

              Hi Tomaz,

               

              Thanks for your reply. I have attached the output of jar for my war file.

                Wau, your lib is a mess. Good thing anything works at all.

                 

                You will need to clean it up
