Hi David,

I simply followed different guides, ones from Tomee docs and stackoverflow.
These guides tend to leave out some details and that's where I got stuck.
For example, by default Eclipse Tomcat adapter works with a WebContent
folder, but Maven expects web pages to be at src/main/webapp. It's a long
story to find the exact cause and then do it in Eclipse. Also, my project
runs in root context (/), but Tomcat Eclipse adapter does not seem to work
well with this. 

Also, Tomcat Eclipse adapter does not copy web-inf/lib. It has to be
configured manually.

The part that took me the longest was to figure out how to get Hibernate to
work with Tomee. With trial and error I got it to work. It'll be a good idea
to release builds with Hibernate profile or have a guide on using that.
Tomee docs is outdated (Hibernate 3.6 is old) and confuses more than it
helps in this regard :) 

However, one part that made my work a little easier is the Tomee Maven
plugin. One great addition would be to support exploded wars so there is no
need to create a war.

I have posted my migration issues to Tomee here
http://openejb.979440.n4.nabble.com/JSF2-project-migrated-from-Jboss-AS7-to-Tomee-not-working-td4655453.html

The quick and dirty fix was to remove some of the navigation rules that used
to work on AS7. I got few things to work. But the app remains unusable for
other issues mentioned in above link.

I'm willing to work with you and Myfaces community to get issues resolved. I
love Apache products and don't mind giving back to the community. There is a
big project that needs to be released in a month. So far testing has been on
AS7 and it's fine. However, management is a fan of open source and is open
to release on Tomee.

The backend (EJBs, JPA, CDI, etc...) works like a charm. So only UI issues
remaining. I'm the architect on the project and if I show a working project
most likely management will bless Tomee and you guys can put the company in
"who uses Tomee" section. We can use my thread link above for details so we
don't hijack this thread. I appreciate all the help.

Zee
