JSF html component on WebSphere 7.0 - jsf

We are in the process of upgrading to WebSphere 7.0 on Windows 2008 R2. Our applications currently run on WebSphere 6.1 on Windows 2003.
We use custom controls we wrote using JSF 1.1 in our applications. Our controls seem to render and interact fine, however whenever we use a JSF HTML component such as:
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
...
<h:graphicImage url="#{MenuBean.bannerImagePath}" />
We get the following error:
com.ibm.ws.jsp.JspCoreException: Unable to convert string '#{MenuBean.bannerImagePath}' to class javax.el.ValueExpression for attribute url: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager
com.ibm.ws.jsp.JspCoreException: Unable to convert string '#{MenuBean.bannerImagePath}' to class javax.el.ValueExpression for attribute url: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager

I have found an article on IBM's website giving a possible fix:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21318801
However I have removed the specified jars and am still receiving the error message. Again our custom controls seem to work fine under WebSphere 7's JSF 1.2.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

After recompiling against JSF 1.2, rebuilding config files, and updating tld files in the WEB-INF folder, I'm happy to report our problem is fixed. Not exactly sure which fixed the problem. Thanks for your time.

The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsf/html cannot be resolved when running JSF 1.0 application on Wildfly 8.1

I'm working on upgrading one of my applications from JSF 1.0 to 2.0. It runs on JBoss 4.0.3SP1 and I'm trying to make it run on WildFly 8.1 final. After some struggles, I was able to get the application compiled and deployed to WildFly but got this error, when accessing the .jsp file.
2015-07-09 07:40:08,600 ERROR [io.undertow.request] (default task-2) UT005022: Exception generating error page /errorpages/error.faces: org.apache.jasper.Jasper
Exception: JBWEB004113: **The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsf/html cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application** at org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:53) [jastow-1.0.0.Final.jar:1.0.0.Final]
at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.jspError(ErrorDispatcher.java:147) [jastow-1.0.0.Final.jar:1.0.0.Final]
I've read the following articles but still cannot fix the problem.
JSF 1.2 on Wildfly 8 Final - weld-core-jsf is still referencing JSF 2.2 API
Can not find the tag library descriptor for http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets
https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/StepsToAddAnyNewJSFImplementationOrVersionToWildFly
https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/DesignOfWildFlyMulti-JSFFeature
I also enabled org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL in web.xml and disabled "weld" in WildFly and I put the following libs/files in <EAR>/lib, <WAR>/WEB-INF/lib.
jsf-api.jar
jsf-impl.jar
jstl.jar
standard.jar
html_basic.tld, jsf_core.tld
And, for JSTL, I tried different URLs, like:
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
or
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/html" prefix="h"%>
or put the URL into <html> instead of using <%#taglib>.
However, the problem cannot be resolved by the above steps.
Is there anyone had the same problem can share some experience? I'd like to see if there is a possibility I can run the JSF 1.0 code on WildFly?
Thanks in advance!

spring-boot + JSF. Views *.jsf working properly but *.xhtml not

I'm using spring boot with jsf (primefaces). here you can find sample of my application. When I invoke this application using mvn spring-boot:run and access application with jsf or with xhtml everything works ok. But when I deploy this application to tomcat, xhtml page is not rendered properly. I can see page source (xhtml source, not html), but this is not wanted. I want to be able to display the same with .jsf and .xhtml.
Can anybody tell me what am I missing?
Edit:
as I reviewd this issue and it was not helpfull (I also have *.xhtml mapping for faces servlet and as I wrote before, this is working on spring-boot embedded tomcat but not on classic tomcat), I think the problem will be more related to the spring configuration, but I'm not sure what and where to change.
Thanks
Problem in spring config. Add this to file Application.java:
#Bean
public ViewResolver getViewResolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
resolver.setPrefix("/view/");
resolver.setSuffix(".xhtml");
return resolver;
}

init() method calls on every request

I am using JSF 2.0 and Liferay 6.1
On any kind of request to any Java class my init() is getting called. Even in case of PrimeFaces component calls for its related PrimeFaces Java method. This method should be called only once when my portlet will initialize.
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class MyMangedBean {
public void init() {
System.out.println("Init method called");
}
}
Please help me to find out possible solution.
EDIT
I found the component behind this cause
In my xhtml file I have
<bridge:inputFile id="MyFileUpload" size="50"
binding="#{myBean.toBeUploadFile}" onchange="{fileSelected(this);}" style="position: absolute;height: 29px;width:107px;opacity:0;filter: alpha(opacity=0);z-index:100;"/>
Whenever I remove its binding attribute. My project works fine. It will not call init() multiple times. But I need this attribute to get my file uploaded.
I have kept xml namespace as
xmlns:bridge="http://portletfaces.org/bridge"
I have also kept dependency for commons-io(version 1.3) and commons-filedownload(1.2.1) in pom.xml
I dont know what else I am missing for this component or what is actual cause behind this.
You should consider using the bridge:inputFile tag that comes with the latest release of Liferay Faces instead of the older obsolete tags that come from portletfaces.org.
There is a nice demo here that uses the bridge:inputFile that you can try on a Liferay tomcat portal instance, and then follow the same pattern that it uses for file upload.
That demo has been tested, it works great, and it is supported by Liferay.
There are many more demos that are tested and working well on Liferay Portal 6.1. You can download the source for them and build them for yourself as shown here. And follow the version scheme here to make sure that you align the correct versions of the Portal, Mojarra, and the Liferay Faces Bridge.
Hope that helps.

JSF 1.2 migration to Facelets

My all application is written with jsf 1.2
I want to use from this moment on facelets where xhtml files are .
So I have some main questions:
1.I want to
face one:upgrade to jsf 1.2 with servlets
face two:from there to upgrade to 2.0
would this two changes break my application ?
2.how to do this ? can some one explain to me ? I have been trying all day long to do it i had :
changed a file to xhtml amd changed his taglibs to xmlns such as :
<%# taglib prefix="a4j" uri="http://richfaces.org/a4j" %> will be converted to : xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
adding
<view-handler>
com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler
</view-handler>
inside application in the faces config
changing file name from xxx.jsp to xxx.xhtml
adding
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
<param-value>.xhtml</param-value>
</context-param>
to web xml
inserting
f:view tag above all
the problem i am facing now
when *.jsf page is called the server says no page like this exists in the system...
when *.xhtml is called the page itself is blank and the server asks me to download it meaning a pop up with open and save options popes.

javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer: Provider org.apache.myfaces.ee6.MyFacesContainerInitializer not a subtype

I'm trying to migrate a JSF (MyFaces, Trinidad) project from 1.2 to 2.0. I've followed this link. Below is what I've did.
1. Updated the XMLNS of faces-config.xml, web.xml, facelets.xml
2. Updated the Jar files (MyFaces 2.0.16, Trinidad 2.0.1)
3. Removed the facelets
3. Removed the ALTERNATE_VIEW_HANDLER tag from web.xml
4. Changed the classloaderMode to PARENT_LAST in WAS 8.5
We are using jspx alone and not xhtml pages. el-api 2.2 and el-ri 1.1.11 are also in our lib folder
When I start the server, I'm getting the below exception. Please help me to resolve the problem.
