Michael,
 

I looked and maven is pulling servlet 2.2.  I would assume 
that faces is using that same servlet.jar.  I just rebuilt 
faces against 2.3 and the problems seem to have gone away.  I 
haven't tried 2.4, but it seems that it should work fine 
there.  It is my guess after trying to build struts-faces in 
eclipse using servlet 2.2 that the problem is with 2.2 not 
being supported.  (And it shouldn't be right?) Michael
   

yes in 2.4 the interface for httpServletRequest
has new methods. so i thinks it is better
to compile this lib against 2.3 and struts
against 2.2 ?
 

That sounds right.  I'll be setting up my nightly build to do that.
jsf requires 2.3
however, after building struts-faces successful
whats against using myfaces directly in struts-faces?
now the user must load all jars form sun for using
struts-faces integration-lib
 

In principle, this makes perfect sense.  It'll be easy if you've split 
the MyFaces jars into api and impl classes (like the RI does), because 
then it's just a matter of setting up your own build.properties file and 
defining "jsf-api.jar" and "jsf-impl.jar" appropriately.

I'll look into seeing if that actually works, once I've caught up and 
made sure that struts-faces works with the current version of the RI 
(the code I'm most familiar with).  But that has to wait until I do 
penance for being offline for a couple of months, by taking a whack at 
our failing cookie-related Cactus tests :-).

cheers,
matthias

I imagine Craig has Struts-Faces compiling against 2.4 to 
       

make sure 
   

it stays in synch with Tomcat 5.

       

It is indeed, but that's actually a mistake.  It needs to compile 
against the 2.3 version, since that's what JSF specifies as 
     

a minimum 
   

platform.  I'll fix that in tonight's run.
     

But, the question is whether we want to mandate that 
       

Struts-Faces can 
   

only compile against 2.3 (and not 2.4)? Or vice-versa. Or 
       

is there a 
   

way to write the class so it compiles under either?

       

I'll take a look at the changes once I catch up a little 
     

bit more, and 
   

might be able to come up with something clever that makes this 
possible (still recovering from JavaOne and ~11k backlogged mail 
messages :-).

     

I know this is a pain. We went through the same problem with 
DataSources between 2.2 and 2.3. I'm not sure what the 
       

issue here is, 
   

but for DataSources, the interface changed and we had to 
       

stub the new 
   

members so that they threw exceptions if called. Of course, the 
problem with that approach is it may obviate new functionality or 
rely on deprecated methods.

James,
i also guess it is the result of the commitment.
i submitted (first) a wrapper, that builds against 2.4 reason is, 
the build-porperties had *default* to 2.4

okay ted asks for a 2.3-wrapper, so i created that candidate.
i think the wrapper should compile against 2.3
since jsf is able to run in j2ee1.3-containers
So i am wondering, why struts-faces uses 2.4
for compiling.
btw. the 2.3 wrapper runs on servlet2.4-containers (like 
         

tomcat5.0)

I think it is happening because of the changes I 
           

committed for your 
   

fix for MyFaces.  If you look at when the builds stopped, it's 
right after I made the commits on 6/29.  It must be an issue of 
what version of servlet.jar that the HttpServletRequestWrapper 
class is being compiled against. Is it not possible to make that 
class compilable against both 2.3 and 2.4?

see http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/nightly/struts-
faces/
the nightly build is empty again,
so is there a logfile, where i can check, why it is not build 
successful?
