The myfaces code that loads the config files [1] has 4 steps:
1) Reads the standard Runtime faces config.
2) Loads faces-configs.xml files from the META-INF of the jars using
the classloader. I don't think you can specify the order.
3) Looks in the web deployment descriptor for config files declared
using the init parameter.
<context-param>
<param-name>
javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES
</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/myfaces-config-1.xml, /WEB-INF/myfaces-config-2.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
4) Load the /WEB-INF/faces-config.xml config file.
You can not override the view root using the sun RI 1.1_x implementation.
The view handler doesn't use the application factory to instantiate the
view root component so there is not a way to plug in your own implementation.
However, myfaces has allowed this for several 1.1 releases.
