[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-4383) Allow a different JSF implementation to be packaged in the WAR

[Stan Silvert (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-4383?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12488413#action_12488413 ] 

Stan Silvert commented on JBAS-4383:
------------------------------------

I'm not sure what you mean by "how this works now".   The way it works will change in AS6, but for 4.2 and 5.x it just bypasses the initialization of the built-in JSF implementation.  That's why you need to stick with default classloading because you need the impl in WEB-INF/lib to be found first.

> Prior to JEE5, most developers would bundle a JSF implementation such as MyFaces with the WAR.  With AS 4.2 and 5.0, you should instead rely on the JSF implementation that ships with the container.
> However, for these legacy applications that rely on a particular implementation, we can disable the built-in JSF implementation as long as you stick with the default classloader settings.  To disable the built-in JSF, you will add this to your web.xml:
> <context-param>
>      <param-name>org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL</param-name>
>      <param-value>true</param-value>
> </context-param>
