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: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=% 2Fcom.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc%2Finfo%2Fae%2Fae%2Ftweb _jsf_annotation.html The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.25.
