Hi Howard JSF spec is always one step behind servlet spec, so in this case MyFaces 2.2.x is tested against tomcat 7, so there are no plans for test in tomcat 8, but in the recent times most of the testing code has been done using junit (running myfaces in a junit test specially designed for that). There are just a couple of features that needs a full test using a web server (like the file upload component, which cannot be tested properly in a junit test). If it works in tomcat 7, it will definitively work in tomcat 8 without trouble.
I have already run MyFaces 2.2.x in tomee, just changing the jars, but it was required to fix some lines of code in tomee, so for now it works with the latest snapshot. There is still pending some code cleanup in MyFaces Core 2.2.x, and those changes could potentially affect tomee compatibility, but it is necessary to do it. I'll try to avoid changes on myfaces spi code as much as possible, to avoid changes (and pain!) in server integration code, but there is no any warrant in that part, because we haven't do a cleanup since 1.0 and it is necessary to remove some unused classes / code and some incomplete features that are there but then were included in the spec or they have been forgotten over the time. I already did some performance test on the code, and it has not been found any regressions in this part. An snapshot of tomee can be found here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/openejb/apache-tomee/ pick the latest one in 1.6.0-SNAPSHOT regards, Leonardo Uribe 2013/9/26 Howard W.
