Simon, >From what I have read from Mathias' emails and from the Facelets site, Facelets allow the use of JSF 1.2 without a JEE 5/JSP 2.1 container. I have verified this by running MyFaces 1.2.3, Trinidad 1.2.9, and Facelets 1.1.14 together from the Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 IDE which does not have a JEE 5/JSP 2.1 container.
It is not well published that Facelets allows the use of JSF 1.2 without a JSP 2.1 container. However, as I have found, there can be some issues. I was wondering if anyone else found any issues in doing this. I would also be interested in hearing about anyone's experience migrating to JSF 1.2. -Richard On Thu, Sep 4, 2008 at 10:41 AM, Simon Lessard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Richard, > > You're actually asking two different questions: > 1.
