<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi, Hoping someone can help here. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm using jboss 2.4 app / portal server bundled and can deploy the JSF portlet from the Getting Started guide in the portal container no problem. But I need to not only have portlets in the portal container but also webapps in the application server. I have read that is where JSF can come in handy and have multiple behaviors based on environment.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So I found a good JSF1.2 example here that uses facelets: <A HREF="http://blog.exadel.com/?p=23">http://blog.exadel.com/?p=23</A> to get around Jboss' servlet container (tomcat) limitation of servlet 2.4. I can deploy this as an app on Tomcat 5.0 in a stand alone env. But the 5.5.17 version of tomcat bundled inside of jboss bails out. It throws ClassCastExceptions all over the place</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Bottom line, can anyone tell me definatively if JSF 1.2 apps will run on jboss-app server? if so.. how?</FONT>
