How to run a JSF 2.0 application on JavaEE5?

Question

For one reason or another, we need to run our JSF2 application on a JavaEE5 server (weblogic10).

Before trying to compile my application with Java5 instead of Java6, does anyone know if this will actually be possible?

Answer 1

JSF 2.0 is compatible with Servlet 2.5 (Java EE 5) containers. See also the Mojarra 2.0 release notes:

Webtier Specification Requirements

This release of JSF requires:

• Java Servlet 2.5
• JavaServer^TM Pages 2.1
• JavaServer^TM Pages Standard Tag Library 1.2

Only JSF 2.1 requires Servlet 3.0 (Java EE 6) containers. See also the Mojarra 2.1 release notes.
