Dan Allen commented on SEAMFACES-124:
-------------------------------------

You can link to the JBoss JSF documentation for more details on #2 and #3. But it's important to explain why #1 works (also that #1 is really intended for Servlet containers like Tomcat and Jetty).

> A section titled "How to setup JSF in a Java EE 6 webapp" would be good for the refguide, because it's funny how poorly this is documented.
> to activate jsf, you need one of three things
> 1. seam-faces jar (that sets up jsf for you)
> 2. if not #1, you need empty faces-config.xml (root element only, can't be blank)
> 3. if not #1 or #2, you need web.xml w/ the Faces Servlet defined
> mention the schema versions required, such as the one for faces-config.xml and web.xml
