Hi,

I plan to use MyFaces with JEE project, but until now MyFaces has not supported JSF 1.2 yet. I wonder that if there is any problem when MyFaces 1.1.5 is used in JEE project?

Thank you for sharing your experience!

Kien,
Interesting question… I believe using MyFaces as long as it implements the 1.2 JSF specification which is now part of the JEE 5 would work fine… if you drop an old version of MyFaces into your project that doesn’t implement the 1.2 spec, I’m curious if you will start getting class-conflicts between the Sun RI that ships inside the application server, and MyFaces JSF 1.1 implementation classes…. I’ve never tried it.

I looked into JEE5 library shipped together with MyEclipse and Sun’s JSF1.2 implementation is included. Therefore, my question seems do not make sense 🙂 It’s better if MyEclipse can support EJB3 capability for web project. Actually, a presentation layer can work independently with a business logic layer. Therefore if I can choose the “X” capability for each layer, it will be more flexible 🙂

Very good, didn’t realize that was an option. Yes using JEE 5 as your Web Compliance level for your Web Projects automatically gives you the JSF libs now.

Also, we just added EJB3 support in 5.5M2, so when you create a new EJB3 project, just be sure to specify JEE 5 and you should be all set.
