Deploying JSf 2.0 app in tomcat 5.5

Question

Hi, I have developed a JSF 2.0 application and tested it on Apache Tomcat 6.0. The problem is that the official server can only have version 5.5 installed. So I tried to deploy it as it was but I kept getting the JasperException. I figured out that the problem probably lies with the standard.jar and jstl.jar. How can I deploy it then? How to downgrade the application? Thanks for any help, links or tutorials. Best Regards.

Answer 1

JSF2.0 requires Tomcat 6.0 or later.

If you use the JSF-RI 1.2, you can run JSF 1.2 with tomcat 5.5

EDITED:

I read that in version 5.5.20 it doesn't work properly. Tomcat 5.5.17 and Tomcat 5.0.28 are fine with JSF1.2

Answer 2

I have used Mojarra 2.0.3-b03 on Tomcat 5.5.28 and it works well so far. All basic facelet tags work fine so far (h:dataTable, f:ajax, etc.) Currently trying to use RichFaces 4 (still under development though) but seems lot of components not ready yet.
