[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1024?page=comments#action_12362714 ]
Simon Kitching commented on MYFACES-1024: ----------------------------------------- Hi Julien, This is caused because there are some classes that are used by both myfaces-impl and tomahawk. If tomahawk only ran on myfaces-impl, then it would be simple: place the classes in myfaces-impl. However tomahawk is also intended to run on the Sun RI. The approach up to and including release 1.1.1 was to have a "share" module, and the classes from "share" get inserted into both myfaces-impl.jar and tomahawk.jar. When used together, the fact that both jars have identical classes causes no problems. When tomahawk is used with Sun's RI, it has the classes it needs. Unfortunately as you've discovered this doesn't work when myfaces-impl is in a "shared" classpath, while tomahawk.jar is in a webapp classpath. Moving tomahawk.jar into the same lib dir as myfaces-impl.jar will solve the issue. Removing the class from tomahawk.jar is not an option for the myfaces project, as tomahawk will no longer work on sun's RI if that's done. However the SVN head (and therefore the next release) splits the shared classes out into their own jar, myfaces-commons.jar. This should also solve your issue; when myfaces-impl is being used then myfaces-commons must be deployed in the same lib dir. When tomahawk is used alone, myfaces-commons should be deployed in the samelib dir as tomahawk. Sean: oops - you're right. tomahawk's faces-config.xml has all sorts of unwanted entries! Is this related to the original question though? I don't think so...
