Has anyone been able to get a JSF 1.1 app running with WAS 6.0? There
have been a few suggestions in other threads but nothing conclusive. I
have also been fighting with this with no success.

I'm experiencing the same problem. Let me know if you have a solution/answer for it.

Thanks

I had the same problem.
I solved it in that way :
Do not include the jar "commons-logging" of JSF 1.1 into your application.
Then it should work.

I have another problem :
when I use JSF 1.1 , I must declare in the application that the compilation order is module --> container --> Websphere JVM : (choose "Parent Last" in the application descriptor).
When I do so, the JSF servlet works perfectly but the JSP parser does not work anymore.
I have the error :

E com.ibm.ws.jsp.taglib.TldParser logParseErrorMessage Failed to parse Tag Library [META-INF/jsf_core.tld]: JSPG0235E: Le conteneur JSP n'a pas réussi à charger la classe TagExtraInfo [com.sun.faces.taglib.FacesTagExtraInfo]
W com.ibm.ws.jsp.taglib.TagLibraryCache loadTldsFromJar jsp error failed to load tld in jar. uri = [/WEB-INF/lib/jsf-impl-1.1.01.jar]
com.ibm.ws.jsp.JspCoreException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: JSPG0235E: Le conteneur JSP n'a pas réussi à charger la classe TagExtraInfo [com.sun.faces.taglib.FacesTagExtraInfo]

Did someone solved this bug ?
