[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-12670) JSF 2.0 compatibility issue, NoSuchFieldError: javax/faces/component/visit/VisitHint.SKIP_ITERATION

[Dupont Dupont (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12670?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12742695#comment-12742695 ] 

Dupont Dupont commented on RF-12670:
------------------------------------

I have the impression with Java EE 6 all spec impl are linked :
 * you cannot change jsf impl easily in an appServer otherwise (even if it works) you won't have access to CDI managed beans from your JSF pages.
 * same thing, you cannot change CDI impl in an appServer, otherwise (even if it works) you don't have access to EJBs.

Illustration of this problem for JBoss is here : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1628.

In this context, I'm not sure that requiring JSF 2.1 is a good decision (JSF 2.1 isn't integrated into Java EE 6 and it won't be integrated in Java EE 7).
A better approach (IMO), would be to align RF with a Java EE version (so Java EE6 = JSF 2.0, Java EE 7 = JSF 2.2).

Did I miss something ?
