Creating a JSF 1.2 web project on MyEclipse 5.1 and Tomcat 6

Hi all,

I have googled a long time for this question: How to upgrade from JSF 1.1 to JSF 1.2?

I'm using MyEclipse 5.1 and Tomcat 5.5. Finally I have found the correct way to do that:

1- Download Tomcat 6 it from: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi
2- Download JSF 1.2 jars from: https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/download.html
3- Download JSTL 1.2 from: https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/repository/jstl/jars/

In MyEclipse:
1- From File menu select New → Project.
2- Select Web Project from MyEclipse → J2EE Projects, and click Next.
3- Write the Project Name then click Finish.
4- On the Package Explorer, right click on the project. Then select MyEclipse → Add JSF Capabilities.
5- Uncheck �Install JSF Jars and packaged TLDS� and �Install JSF TLDs�.
6- Copy the JSF 1.2 jar files into WEB-INF\lib folder:
jsf-api.jar
jsf-impl.jar
jstl-1.2.jar
7- Open the file WEB-INF\Web.xml and add the following lines before �</web-app>�:

	
        <listener>
		<listener-class>
			com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
		</listener-class>
	</listener>
	<listener>
		<listener-class>
			com.sun.faces.application.WebappLifecycleListener
		</listener-class>
	</listener>

In Tomcat 6:
1- Install Tomcat 6.
2- Open the file �conf\server.xml� and delete the following line:

<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="on" />

This is all of what you need. You don't need to add any other TLDs or jars.
