[jbosstools-dev] JSF 1.1.0.1 Reference Impl vs JSF 1.2

[Marshall Culpepper]

Hey guys..

I've been running through a demo I'm going to give tonight at a local 
JBoss User Group meeting, and I noticed some strange behavior with our 
JBoss 4.2.0.GA and using the "JSF 1.1.0.1 Reference Impl" configuration 
from the new JSF project wizard.

Basically, whenever the jsf project is deployed to my clean copy of 
JBoss 4.2.0 , lots of exceptions show up (though the application itself 
seems to work fine). When I start changing things from their default 
configuration (I'm using the kickstart as a quick startup for the demo), 
JBoss consistently throws exceptions until I hard undeploy/deploy the 
app from the App Server.

On the other hand, if I select a "JSF 1.2" configuration in the wizard, 
the project deploys/redeploys with no errors, and seems to work without 
a hitch with any changes I make. I guess what I'm getting at is -- if 
we're going to use JSF 1.1.0.1 Reference Implementation as the "default" 
selection in the new JSF project wizard, shouldn't we be testing it's 
"noiseyness factor"?. Would it be a problem to have JSF 1.2 selected as 
default (or maybe another configuration that JBoss 4.2.0.GA likes?)
