Hi,
Thank you for submitting this request for enhancement; we are evaluating it.
From your description, you want to use the Sun reference implementation (Sun RI 1.2 ) as JSF implementation. Is that correct?
As I know, both Sun Reference implementation and Apache MyFaces implementation are shipped with WAS. WAS determines if the SUN RI or Apache MyFaces is used from the application server run time .That means , you can change the implementation after deploying your website to WAS. (Sun RI 1.2 is the default implementation , you don't need to change anything if you want to use SUN RI 1.2)
FYI: Login the WAS administrative console. Click Applications>Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > JSP and JSF options. You can change the JSF implementation here.
As you said , you need to copy com.ibm.ws.jsf.RI1_2.jar to application class path
Typically,web applications that use JSF API/Framework embed the JSF API and implementation jar within their web application war file. However , In WAS, this practice is not required.WAS has provided the JSF implementation jar as his runtime library and it is available to all web applications. If a JavaServer Faces implementation (e.g SUN RI 1.2) is bundled with your web application, it would be ignored as the JSF implementation provided by the platform always takes precedence.
Please let me know if this answers your questions
