Ok I talked with Matthias regarding all ths
first of all there seems to be an issue with tomcat 6 regarding
JSTL compatibility Tomahawk seems to have hooks into it.
Matthias told me that Jetty works, Tomcat doesnt (seems to be Tomcats
fault or jaspers in Tomcat 6.0.13)
The problem goes away as soon as you use facelets, since facelets does
not require JSP. (Hence my application works)
With Facelets also the usage of Tomcat 6 is possible.

Ok sorry for this, as it seems
there is an issue in the examples
with Tomcat 6 and the jstl needed by the
sandbox examples, my app was not affected
since it does not use the jstl (and facelets work fine)
can anyone confirm this, not sure why the jstl is in the tomahawk
examples at all.
If anyone of the myfaces 1.2 authors could jump in here I would be
grateful ;-)
The funny thing is in my facelets/spring configuration I am not affected
not sure where the problem is, but it must be a mixture of jstl
dependencies which and tomcat 6 :-)

Hi List
It's very cool MyFaces 1.2 finally got out of the door but...
It's again a true pain setting MyFaces up correctly before it
works... (more than it should).
I remember it took me an entire week before I had MyFaces 1.x
configured correctly with the Extension Filter etc. What a waste of
time :-(
In the mean time, other sites have helped out and put a proper
Tutorial or a complete "blank app" online but this major new release
demands renewed examples and ... is a chance for e renewed approach.
Yet, with MyFaces 1.2.0 out, I see the old the same mistakes are made
again:
- no examples
- no info on the web.xml (like: should it specify servlet container v
2.5 now?)
- no info on the faces-config.xml (like: should it specify
http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd or v.1.2?)
- no info on what jars are exactly required
- no compatibility matrix (like: works with Tomcat6? Can you use
Tomahawk (e.g. of version 1.6) together with MyFaces1.2?
...
Hi Wolf, first of all sorry for the lack of examples and documentation
for now anyway.
I just moved a project testwise up to the current myfaces and sort of
was pleasantly surprised how good it went, so some help here from my
side:
First of all MyFaces 1.2 needs the latest JEE5 implementations of the
servlet jsp/servlet api and at least java 5 (sorry but that is a
limitation introduced by JSF 1.2 itself)
So what you have to do, the configuration basically stayed the same
from what I could tell, I didnt have to alter my old web.xml
You just have to make sure you run on a container which provides the
latest standard (it was tomcat 6 in my case)
then I removed all jars wich referenced jsp apis, el apis and jasper,
or serlvet apis, I moved the myfaces libs up to the latest versions as
well as their dependencies (which come in in the pack)
the last problem and this is a bug in Tomahawk, which I am filing at
the moment, is a dependency into commons-el, you have to readd the jar
if you use the sandbox and tomahawk unfortunately, I dont know if this
can cause sideffects, but so far I couldnt notice one (but I am on
facelets anyway)
Once this is done it should run.
I get the impression the jars are just dumped online and the makers
have a great time looking at how users have a terrible time figuring
it all out themselves...
Actually no it definitely is not like that, we are no sadists, it is
more along the lines, that the implementation is way overdue timewise
and it had to get out asap, so that the server programmers can start
using it. Expect the situation to improve soon.
(Btw. thanks to all the guys who finally got the release out)
As I cannot image no one on this list has such example, could someone
take the effort of posting the jar online to help all the rest of us
out?
My setup is: Tomcat6, MyFaces 1.2, Tomahawk(if possible in
combination with MF1.2.0 - also this info is not online)
I guess this setup would currently the most common one.
I spent the last 2 days (starting from my old MF 1.1.5/Toma1.1.5 app
on Tomcat 5) trying to migrate it to that setup but to no avail.
Actually if you want contact me either via mail, or via
google talk (same address as posted here) or via icq 46949386 I am
yet a mere user of MyFaces 1.2 myself but I might be able to help you
out to get it running.
Cheers
Werner
