  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The JavaServer Faces(JSF) 2.0 Portlet Bridge is unable to load
  the UI Component of a third party JSF Component Library
  present in the application. A ClassNotFoundException  is
  thrown when ´JSF third party UI component is used in a portlet
  facelet.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JSF 2.0 Portlet Bridge was updated to use the current
  object class loader  to load the JSF component library classes
  if the class can not be loaded by the WebSphere Application
  Server classloader.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.5 and 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended
