Using MyFaces on Websphere 6

[Piepaolo Follia]

Hi to all. I'm trying to install the myfaces-example web application on IBM WebSphere 6 but when the server starts I get several errors. It seems that the server can't parse config files for myfaces (located into the META-INF in myfaces.jar). I also noticed that IBM WS6 has a custom IBM implementation of JSF (as usual with IBM...): is it possible that the custom implementation creates some conflicts? Removing the lib from the server doesn't help. Here's the error log: Can't parse configuration file:wsjar:file:/C:/Program Files/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/default/installedApps/UNI29361Node01Cell/consultazione1.4EAR.ear/consultazione.war/WEB-INF/lib/myfaces-impl.jar!/META-INF/faces-config.xml  Error   No explanation found for ID=Can't parse configuration file   No user action found for ID=Can't parse configuration file  com.ibm.ws.jsf SRVE0068E: Impossible invoking method service() for servlet Faces Servlet.

Thank you very much. P.S. - The same example works perfectly on IBM WS5... -- Pierpaolo Follia Wave S.r.l. - Vai Benaco 24/B, Bedizzole (BS) Telefono: +39 030 687561 Fax: +39 030 6875690
