MyFaces and JSP 2.0

[Sanjiv Jivan <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I've just started looking at MyFaces and had a question regarding
MyFaces and JSP 2.0.

What are the dependencies of MyFaces on JSP 2.0? Does MyFaces require
a web container that fully supports JSP 2.0, or only portions of JSP
2.0.

The reason I ask is that I'm on Weblogic 8.1 which is still on JSP
1.2. I also read a note in the MyFaces "Getting Started" documentation
stating that for JSP 1.2 containers like Tomcat 4.x, we need to copy
jsp-2.0.jar to the WEB-INF/lib directory in addition to
commons-el.jar. What effect does this have? Does copying these jars
make a JSP 1.2 container 2.0 compliant? I didn't think it did.

Thanks,
Sanjiv

Bill,
Thanks for your reply. Can you provide some details of what
functionality of jsp2.0.jar is being used by MyFaces. I thought this
jar was primarily the JSP 2.0 spec interfaces and abstract classes and
not implementation classes.

Thanks,
Sanjiv

Hi Sanjiv,

You are correct, copying the jars does not make the container 2.0 
compliant. JSF proper depends only on JSP 1.2 and MyFaces follows the 
spec however some of the functionality requires some of the classes in 
the jsp2.0 jar file. Thus the dependency.

And FWIW I am currently using MyFaces on WLS 8.1, and sp3 and it works 
like a champ. I am on the head though.

Best of luck to you and thanks for looking at MyFaces.

TTFN,

-bd-
