    va:34)
    

Problem conclusion

  • WebSphere Application Server added a custom annotation
    provider to provide built in injection engine support for
    MyFaces 2.0.8+.  The provider code is packaged in a new jar
    file called WebSphere-MyFaces208-annotation-provider.jar,
    which is located in the
    <WAS_HOME>/optionalLibraries/IBM/JSFProviders/2.0.8 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 2.0.14.
    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 7.0.0.25.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
