Hi, I just wanted to raise your attention about a weird thing that can happen in MyFaces and took me a few hours to understand. I am not quite sure this is a bug, but it certainly can create an undesired behavior: It seems like there is a new mechanism that allows "auto reloading" of JSF configuration files. This mechanism involves dates checking to make sure if file should be reloaded. Anyway, there can be a case, in which, files are being deployed in a server that has different GMT. This will cause web app files to have "future" date. This issue will cause the configuration files to never be loaded and I believe that JSF part responsible for loading the files will be "stuck" in a loop causing the whole web application not to load.
Hope this information might save you some time if you will even encounter this issue... Guy.
