[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-6638) Move JSF integration into a deployer

[Stan Silvert (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6638?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12530567#action_12530567 ] 

Stan Silvert commented on JBAS-6638:
------------------------------------

The JSFDeployer provides a comprehensive solution to several issues we've had with previous releases. 

* Non-JSF applications will no longer have JSF jars in the classpath and will no longer run any part of the JBossJSFConfigureListener.
* JSF declarations will be moved out of the shared web.xml in jbossweb.deployer.
* You can easily upgrade to a newer JSF version and assign as the default JSF implementation.
* You can create JSF configurations including its own component libraries, listeners, servlets, and context params.
* Each JSF configuration can be individually assigned to one or more WARs.
* We will have the option of shipping more than one JSF implementation with AS.  This includes not only multiple versions, but multiple implementations (i.e. both Mojarra and MyFaces) if desired.

> We need to create a JSF Deployer to replace the current JSF integration code.  This will allow different versions of JSF to run for different web apps.  It will also allow any web app to use the WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL flag.  Previously, this only worked if you were bundling MyFaces 1.1.
