Wow, very interesting response, Leonardo, thanks! I just clicked the 'star' on your email (in my gmail), and going to have to download latest tomee and do some MyFaces/JSF 2.2 testing with my app...when/as I get bandwidth to do so.
I think I saw you posting a few (MyFaces/JSF 2.2) things (recently) in tomee's JIRA, but have not been on tomee's JIRA for at least 1 or 2 weeks now. This is definitely good news and glad to see the progress, especially since I was previously-and-initially a Mojarra user, and now-and-continuously, a happy-and-most-likely-will-be-a-loyal MyFaces (Core) user! :) On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 9:11 AM, Leonardo Uribe <lu4...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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).
