JavaServer ^TM Faces Release Notes
Known Issues

Known issues with the 1.2_06 FCS release.

• The default renderer for h:dataTable doesn't produce accessible markup - specifically no scope attribute is rendered on table rows (see issue 341).

• If rendering multiple forms in the same view, and attempting to validate via the W3C validator, there will be warnings regarding duplicate IDs (javax.faces.ViewState). The spec currently requires that for each Form we output the state info with the ID and Name of javax.faces.ViewState.

• When upgrading from 1.2 to 1.2_01, 1.2_02, or 1.2_03, 1.2_04, or 1.2_05 on Tomcat 5.x with Facelets, the user may receive a ClassNotFoundException for com.sun.faces.config.GlassFishConfigureListenener. In order to resolve this, delete the tld cache references under TOMCAT_HOME/work and restart the server.

• When upgrading to 1.2_05 or later while running on a Servlet 2.4 container the following error may be encountered:

                com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException: CONFIGURATION FAILED!Unable to parse document 'file:/C:/develop/Java/Tomcat
  -5.5.25/work/Catalina/localhost/server/loader/com/sun/faces/jsf-ri-runtime.xml': This parser does not support specificat
  ion "null" version "null"
            

  This error indicates the version of JAXP being used with the container is not compliant with JAXP 1.3 or later. Refer to the container's documentation for details on how to upgrade JAXP.

• In the JSF-RI 1.1 series it was possible to use jsp:include with nested jsp:params. This is no longer possible with JSF-RI 1.2. This is not a true backwards compatibility issue. The fact that it worked in 1.1 was due to a side-effect of a workaround for a Tomcat 4 bug. Had this workaround be removed, usage of jsp:param would have failed. We've evaluated potential ways to enable this functionality in 1.2, but have decided that this issue will not be resolved.

• Server side state saving doesn't work within a cluster (see Issue 662). The suggested work around is to use client side state saving. A fix is available in the 2007-11-29 nightly build and will be officially available in 1.2_07.
• UIData incorrectly discards nested input state when a validation error occurs with an element outisde of the UIData (see Issue 660). There is no workaround for this, but has been an issue for some time. A fix is available in the 2007-11-28 nightly build and will be officially available in 1.2_07.
