Leonardo, I'm glad I recently joined this user group and joined the MyFaces (Core) user family/group. I recently migrated from *Mojarra* 2.1.7 to *MyFaces*2.1.8, and have been pleased with the migration (and performance, most of all). A PrimeFaces user, zoigl/Thomas recommended it, and I saw some blogs recommending MyFaces 2.1.7 over Mojarra 2.1.5+ for performance reasons, so I jumped on it, and I have already updated my JSF/PrimeFaces/MyFaces app from MyFaces 2.1.8 to MyFaces 2.1.9, and all is working great and as expected/designed. :)
I found the following MyFaces issue interesting when i read this email. I think I experienced this issue when I migrated from Mojarra 2.1.7 to MyFaces 2.1.8. Most of my beans were ViewScoped beans, but I was NOT really using them as ViewScoped beans, since I was NOT using JSF navigation to navigate to different page. I have only ONE index.xhtml which contains ui:include, and pageNavigationController (bean) updates ui:include on index.xhtml all throughout the app... so my ViewScoped beans were really acting like or being implemented like SessionScoped beans, so when I migrated to MyFaces 2.1.8, this MyFaces 3581 defect/issue caused/motivated me to change all ViewScoped beans to SessionScoped. I also had to define @EJB bean attributes/members in descendant classes, and that solved the problem for me. I have no regrets doing all all what I mentioned above/earlier. I'm a happy MyFaces 2.1.x user/camper!!! I have less than 10 endusers (currently) accessing my JSF/PrimeFaces/MyFaces web app. * [MYFACES-3581] - @EJB injection into a @ViewScoped bean causes CNFE Thanks, Howard On Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 3:19 PM, Leonardo Uribe <lu4...@apache.org> wrote: > The Apache MyFaces team is pleased to announce the release of MyFaces > Core 2.1.9. > > MyFaces Core is a JavaServer(tm) Faces 2.1 implementation as specified > by JSR-314.
