Hi, A lot of testing was done after deciding that MyFaces 1.2 could be released. A part from this, the TCK is passed both in tomcat and in jetty. Tomahawk simple examples can be tested with tomahawk 1.2 right away:
- Checkout the tomahawk sources and go to the tomahawk/examples/simple folder - Run the examples with "mvn -PjettyConfig -Djsf=12 jetty:run Then, you will have jetty running the tomahawk simple examples with MyFaces 1.2. Of course, not everything is covered by the tests and examples we have and it is normal that some bugs appear in the first version when tested with the different environments, and I don't just mean MyFaces bugs, as it can be other bugs with jetty or tomcat that have never been using a different JSF implementation than the RI. We are working on fixing all the issues we see in MyFaces, and here the help of the community is welcome to test everything in the different setups and environments. It is the community that make MyFaces such a powerful implementation and not only this, having a powerful 1.1 implementation of JSF even the JSF RI was forced to improve (and it really has improved). This is where having two main players implementing the JSF Spec is beneficial for everybody. We work hard in both sides to ensure compatibility while we try to make the most performant and stable implementation. Here, in MyFaces, we are of the opinion of releasing sooner rather than later, and as often as we can. This is why we will release a new MyFaces version as soon as we fix some of the bugs in the first 1.2 release, and so on. Here, everybody can help testing it in the different environment and filling JIRA issues, and even giving opinions and submitting patches! MyFaces is built for everybody by everybody, or at least this is the idea. And all ideas and suggestions are welcome. We, the core developers of MyFaces, work on it because we love it :-) Even when the poor user that tries to use our bits complains (oh! how do we enjoy seeing users suffering when trying to use something we have been weeks developing and spending many sleepless nights while trying to find the equilibrium between job, family and our passion), the complaints of the user are taken and given a shape, so the next version out improves. So, in conclusion (and someone should take the keyboard from me!) thanks for trying this first version of MyFaces 1.2, finding the bugs of MyFaces, tomcat and jetty, adding your experiences in the wiki and filling JIRA issues. On the compatibility side, tomahawk is going to be branched soon to be adapted to JSF 1.2 while including a completely performance overhaul (by using the trinidad state management capabilities). But, the current tomahawk should work for any JSF 1.2 implementation, so, if some component doesn't, that is considered a bug.

I am of the opinion that Bruno tested the full set of MyFaces examples before he said we're good for a release. So I'd also want to hear what Bruno has to say about this. regards, Martin On 7/20/07, Werner Punz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wolf Benz schrieb: > > I am currently trying to nail down the bugs > > I am still not sure about everything, > > but as it seems there is lots of weird stuff going on > > > > > > -- I'm glad you've found that out as well.
