Bad news: In fact, in practice this does not work for us. We are moving from seam 2/jsf1.2 to cdi/jsf2.0/codi and we use SLSB (Stateless Session Beans) as JSF backing beans. Those SLSB may be of scope "ViewScope" (= Seam 2 "PageScope") and need to be injected at leats "FacesContext" (to send back messages to the browser)
So if we want to use the "@ViewAccessScoped" or "@ViewScope" and or other JSF artefacts (FacesMessages etc.) produced by CODI in our SLSBs, we need to have the codi-jsf jars visible in the classpath of the EJB module. The initial classloader problem with the jsf CODI jars in ear/lib comes because the JSF lifecycle uses JSF CODI classes loaded by another classloader than the one used by the WAR So if we want to setup our application as describes above with CODI, we have those options left: - configure the application classloader to "WAR classloader policy" to "Application/single" instead of "Module/multiple" and put the CODI jars in ear/lib and keep PARENT_FIRST for both app and war. Nothing in MANIFEST files (Tested OK.) - configure the application classloader to "WAR classloader policy" to "Application/single" instead of "Module/multiple" and put the JSF CODI jars at the root of the ear, put the rest of the CODI modules in ear/lib, keep PARENT_FIRST for both, add manifest entries for the WAR and EJB modules to the 2 CODI jsf jars (Tested OK) in brief we need to configure WebSphere to use only one classloader for the whole modules of the application (ejb+jpa+war+dependent jars) 2012/12/10 Denis Forveille <denis.forvei...@gmail.com>: > Thanks Thomas for the pointer > Yes it is a classloader problem > After lots of tries I finally managed to have it working > (FI our EAR projects are all split into a JPA module, an EJB module > and a WAR module) > How I did it: > - in ear/lib, define codi (api+impl) and message-module (api+impl) > - in web/WEB-INF/lib define codi-jsf20-module (api+impl) > - put nothing in web/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF > - set PARENT_FIRST for both ear and web modules > > I will continue my tests with a more realistic application, hoping > that we will not use any codi "features" in our EJB module that will > need to "use" something from the codi-jsf20-module jars. > > Thx > > > 2012/12/10 Thomas Herzog <t.her...@curecomp.com>: >> >> We facwd the problem that codi and myfaces interffered together and myfaces >> could not start. >> >> We did the following, maybe it helps: >> >> 1.
