RE: MyFaces and IBM Portal

[Kandasamy, Uma]

Thanks Ryan. I will try this one. Also, does your web.xml reference any of
the sun's classes (like ConfigureListener).
Do you mind posting your web.xml ?

I have had success with this combination.  I am using myfaces with portal
5.1.
I started in RAD by creating an empty JSR-168 portlet (using the
wizard).  Then you won't get all the sun/ibm jsf stuff imported.  My
WEB-INF/lib directory looks like this

commons-digester
commons-codec
commons-fileupload
jarkarta-oro
commons-el
commons-beanutils
commons-validator
commons-collections
jsp-api.jar
commons-lang (I don't think you need this but I have it)
myfaces-impl
myfaces-api
tomahawk

my portlet.xml looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<portlet-app
        xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd";

                </init-param>
                
                <supports>

                </portlet-info>
        </portlet>

</portlet-app>


web.xml looks like any web application.

Hope this helps.
