   A B :

   I have a question regarding mixing jsp for JSF 1.2 and xhtml for JSF 2.0 in a JSF 2.0 project.

   We are using websphere. Is it possible to convert a project to use JSF 2.0 facets, but keep the original jsps that use IBM’s JWL and create new pages as JSF 2.0 xhtml pages and have both run within the same application within the same webapp?

   Thanks

     WebSphere.. Good Luck bro, i have too many bad experienced on it. Each WebSphere version have different implementation and NOT compatible to each other, make sure you consult the IBM documentation.

     To be frankly, WebSphere is a IBM standard, not Java standard, what apply on standard Java App Server may fail on WebSphere. Often times, you need to “hack” something to get what you want.

   Never mind. I got it work. I had to uncheck the Dynamic Web Moudle and apply, change the version and re-check it.

   Hi, mkyong,

   I followed your steps to configure my eclipse-helio for JSF 2.0. But the IDE displays error, “Cannot change version of project facet Dynamic Web Module to 2.5″. It was originally “2.3″ and JavaServer Faces 2.0 requires 2.5. Any idea?

   I created a Maven project using apache’s webapp architype.

   Thanks,
   Gang

   Do you have any idea \ suggestion how to fix this ?
   Thanks in advance and best regards

     To include external CSS in JSF2, try following articles

   I guessed that the problem was with it being able to edit .xml configs. It seems that doing this on an existing project causes problems, but doing this with a brand new project is okay.

   Must be an Eclipse bug…

    Hi
    When I enable the JSF facet, doing it exactly as described in your post, I get the following error:

    Failed while installing JavaServer Faces 2.0

    Reason:
    ‘myproject’ : unable to configure web module for JavaServer Faces
