JSF 2 on Tomcat 6

[Murali Pen]

Has anyone tried running JSF2 on Tomcat 6? I tried to do this but running into EL compatibility issues. Tried various combinations but nothing worked. I did the setup and test based on the following post.

http://weblogs.java.net/blog/cayhorstmann/archive/2009/12/29/jsf-20-and-tomcat

If anyone accomplished this, please post the following

1) list of libraries in tomcat lib
2) list of libraries in WEB-INF/lib
3) web.xml configuration

I have the following config and my sample page only displays plain HTML but not any JSF text box fields.

I added the following to tomcat lib

el-api-2.2.jar
el-impl-2.2.jar
jstl-api-1.2.jar
jstl-impl-1.2.jar

I have the following in WEB-INF/lib

jsf-api.jar
jsf-impl.jar
jstl-api-1.2.jar
jstl-impl-1.2.jar
weld-servlet.jar

My web.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

<url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

I also have an empty beans.xml in my WEB-INF folder. This is required for Weld.

Anyone, plese help.
