WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 currently does not
allow for annotation injection and processing for the MyFaces
2.0 JSF implementation.

Problem conclusion

WebSphere Application Server added a custom annotation
provider to provide built in injection engine support.  The
provider code is packaged in a new jar file called
WebSphere-MyFaces20-annotation-provider.jar, which is located
in the <WAS_HOME>/optionalLibraries/IBM/JSFProviders directory.

IBM does not provide a supported JSF 2.0 implementation for
use with WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0,
however the Annotation provider for the WebSphere Application
Server injection and scanning that is necessary for using
MyFaces 2.0 JSF is fully supported on tested levels of
MyFaces. IBM will address any issues with the scanning and
injection support in WebSphere Application Server if it is
determine that it is not performing as per the specification.
Any problems with MyFaces 2.0 JSF will need to be worked with
the MyFaces Open Source Community: http://myfaces.apache.org/ .

The current support has been tested with MyFaces 2.0.7 and
earlier. Since changes are required to support Myfaces 2.0
beyond 2.0.7, APAR PM61211 has been opened and is being
targeted for WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.25 to address
these problems. Tested levels and configuration instructions
can be found at the following link:

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.19.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
