Make JSP 2.1 optional
----------------------
Key: MYFACES-1693
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1693
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JSR-252
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Achim Hügen
Myfaces 1.2.0 requires JSP 2.1 to be present. Otherwise the
StartupServletContextListener fails with this error:
Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class
org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspFactory.getJspApplicationContext(Ljavax/servlet/ServletContext;)Ljavax/servlet/jsp/JspApplicationContext;
at
org.apache.myfaces.webapp.DefaultFacesInitializer.initFaces(DefaultFacesInitializer.java:102)
at
org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener.contextInitialized(StartupServletContextListener.java:57)
JSP version 2.1 or better JSP in general should be an optional dependency, like
discussed here and implemented in Sun RI too:

Use cases:
- Run Myfaces 1.2.0 in JEE 1.4 environment (Tomcat 5.x).
- Easier setup and smaller distributions when running Myfaces in an embedded
servlet container (jetty) with facelets. For example I'm using jetty for junit
tests. I haven't found a working setup which solves the jsp problems.
