Hi Marko, I can't reproduce the issue until now (no WAS 8.0 available).
I've a running example with WAS 8.5.5.13, this might help you to find the error. Here's what I've tested: Starting WAS 8.5.5.13 via Docker (see https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/websphere-traditional/) $ echo "test1234">PASSWORD $ docker run --name test -h test -v $(pwd)/PASSWORD:/tmp/PASSWORD -p 9043:9043 -p 9443:9443 -d ibmcom/websphere-traditional:8.5.5.13-profile Browse to https://localhost:9043/ibm/console/ and use wsadmin/test1234 to login. Checkout my example (slightly modified Tobago 3.0.7-SNAPSHOT demo): $ git clone https://github.com/lofwyr14/myfaces-tobago.git test $ cd test $ git checkout test-websphere-umlauts $ mvn Deploy tobago-example/tobago-example-demo/target/tobago-example-demo.war into WAS e.g. on context path /demo Check these URLs (different switchType): https://localhost:9443/demo/faces/content/20-component/070-tab/00-client/tab-client.xhtml https://localhost:9443/demo/faces/content/20-component/070-tab/01-ajax/tab-ajax.xhtml https://localhost:9443/demo/faces/content/20-component/070-tab/02-server/tab-server.xhtml If this is running for you, you may test to deploy the tobago-example-demo.war in your 8.0 WAS. Or you may test to deploy your application into the docker 8.5 WAS.
