JSF 2.3 on EAP 7

I would like to upgrade to JSF 2.3 on an Jboss EAP 7.

I followed this guide:

https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/WFLY10/JSF+Configuration#JSFConfiguration-ConfiguringaJSFapptouseanondefaultJSFimplementation

I splitted the JSF 2.3 jar following this guide:

How to install one jar variant of JSF (javax.faces.jar) on WildFly

However, when I start EAP 7 I get this error:

2017-04-30 12:55:00,280 WARN  (JSFDependencyProcessor.java:75) = WFLYJSF0005: Unknown JSF version 'mojarra-2.3.0'.  Default version 'mojarra-2.3.0' will be used instead.

Does anybody successfully upgraded EAP 7 to JSF 2.3?

Solution

I made a mistake by misreading the place where to put all the needed jars.

For instance, the module javax.faces.api I put in the folder:

EAP_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/javax/faces/api/JSF_IMPL

Instead, it needed to go to:

EAP_HOME/modules/javax/faces/api/JSF_IMPL.

It was specified like this in the guide, but for other modules (Oracle JDBC Driver...) I needed to put stuff directly under the base folder. Apparently, for JSF, this needs to be in the root of the modules folder...

Now it is loaded correctly and, when I use LOG.info(FacesContext.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion()); it prints 2017-05-02 08:59:47,872 INFO (Web.java:66) = 2.3.0
