Because of PrimeFaces bug with p:messages I've tried to upgrade the MyFaces version used with IBM WebSphere 7.0 from 2.0.7 to 2.1.10.
Unfortunatelly, the myfaces-impl jar I've downloaded from myFaces page does not contain many utility classes from package org/apache/myfaces/shared_impl/util/ that were in the version 2.0.7 that was already in the project.
The whole stack trace is:

So, where's the problem? I haven't downloaded the version 2.0.7 myself, so maybe it must be specially enriched version to work with WebSphere? Is there a way to use MyFaces 2.1.10 with WebSphere, or can I need only the version prepared by IBM team?
See this APAR from IBM: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PM61211:
WebSphere Application Server added a custom annotation provider to provide built in injection engine support for MyFaces 2.0.8+. The provider code is packaged in a new jar file called WebSphere-MyFaces208-annotation-provider.jar, which is located in the /optionalLibraries/IBM/JSFProviders/2.0.8 directory.
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.25.
So you need to upgrade to at least 7.0.0.25, and you'll be able to use newer 2.0.x versions on MyFaces
