3.2.3. JSF changes
3.2.3.1. Enable Applications To Use Older Versions of JSF
Summary
If your application uses an older version of JSF, you do not need to upgrade to JSF 2.0. Instead, you can create a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file to request that JBoss EAP 6 use JSF 1.2 rather than JSF 2.0 with your application deployment. This JBoss specific deployment descriptor is used to control class loading and is placed in the META-INF/ or WEB-INF/ directory of your WAR, or in the META-INF/ directory of your EAR.
The following is an example of a
jboss-deployment-structure.xml file that adds a dependency for the JSF 1.2 module and excludes or prevents the automatic loading of the JSF 2.0 module.
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.0">
<deployment>
<dependencies>
<module name="javax.faces.api" slot="1.2" export="true"/>
<module name="com.sun.jsf-impl" slot="1.2" export="true"/>
</dependencies>
</deployment>
<sub-deployment name="jboss-seam-booking.war">
<exclusions>
<module name="javax.faces.api" slot="main"/>
<module name="com.sun.jsf-impl" slot="main"/>
</exclusions>
<dependencies>
<module name="javax.faces.api" slot="1.2"/>
<module name="com.sun.jsf-impl" slot="1.2"/>
</dependencies>
</sub-deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
