JBoss 4.0.5 GA and JSF 1.2

viggo.navarsete Jul 2, 2007 8:20 AM

Hi,

is it possible to run JBoss 4.0.5 GA with a JSF 1.2 implementation? According to this page, http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossWithIntegratedMyFaces, only a JSF 1.1 implementation is bundled with JBoss 4.0.5 GA. I'm not able to upgrade (due to my environment) to a newer version of JBoss, but I would like to use a JSF 1.2 implementation due to the many improvements (read http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/jsf_12/).
Can I bundle with my own MyFaces or RI implementation of JSF 1.2?

Many many thanks in advance :)

I have seen Gavin King posting on the forum on how to get Seam up and running on JBoss 4.0.5GA with JSF 1.2. Can the same steps be followed in my case?

You can use JSF 1.2 as long as you use Facelets instead of JSP. JSF 1.2 requires JSP 2.1. Upgrading JSP is much harder to do. For that you really need to look at JBoss AS 4.2.

The steps outlined by Gavin are basically what you need to do. Make sure you read the whole thread carefully. If I remember, there were one or two inaccuracies in the original post.

Today I was told that I could go for the JBoss AS 4.2.0GA release, so it's not a problem anymore. Now I've installed JBoss AS 4.2.0GA and JBoss Portal 2.6. I've tried to implement a portlet using the bundled JSF 1.2 RI, but I'm having problems when deploying the portlet. See this thread for more details:
