  ****************************************************************
  When starting a server with the jsf-2.0 feature and
  java2security configured, the jsf-2.0 bundle will fail to load.
  The following error message  will be written to the logs:
  
  E CWWKE0701E: [com.ibm.ws.jsf.2.0(194)] Error during
  instantiation of the implementation object
  Bundle:com.ibm.ws.jsf(id=93) java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

  com.ibm.ws.jsf.util.WSFacesUtil.getClassLoader(WSFacesUtil.java:

          at
  com.ibm.ws.jsf.extprocessor.JSFExtensionFactory.<init>(JSFExtens
  ionFactory.java:70)
          ...
  
  This is due to a few missing classes not being included in the
  MyFaces bundle.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JSF MyFaces bundle was updated to include the missing
  classes.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 8.5.5.6.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
