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,

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
