MyFaces

!Getting started
!!!What you need for the Examples Application
* JDK 1.4.x
* Tomcat 4.x or 5.x
+ - Get it from [http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html])

+ - Download the latest MyFaces ((Download|examples web application))
!!!Installing and Running the Examples
* Unpack the MyFaces examples archive myfaces-{content id=1}-examples.tgz to a directory of your choice.
* Remove any previous MyFaces webapps from your Tomcat installation and clean up your Tomcat work dir. Also make sure that there is no jsf-api.jar (i.e. Suns API implementation) in the classpath or in one of Tomcat's lib directories (common/lib or shared/lib).
* Copy the file myfaces-examples.war to the webapps dir of your Tomcat installation directory.
* (Re)start Tomcat (there is a known log4j issue - see ((KnownIssues)) if you get errors!)
* Start your browser and enjoy it at [http://localhost:8080/myfaces-examples].

* Make sure that there is no jsf-api.jar (i.e. Suns API implementation) in the classpath or in one of Tomcat's lib directories (common/lib or shared/lib).
* Configure your webapp's web.xml file (see conf/web.xml for example and documentation)
