JSF 1.1 and Tomcat 6

Question

Hello,
I don't know if this issue was already discussed, but I'm porting my application from Tomcat 5.5.25 to Tomcat 6.0.26 and I'm using JSF 1.1.
I encountered problems when receiving events for Tree element. The return value for getSelected() method of Tree object is null. I tried to use other get methods from Tree class and all return null: getSubmittedValue(), getCookieSelectedTreeNode().
Did anyone encounter this problem?
Do you know if are there any incompatibility issues between Tomcat 6 and JSF1.1?
Thanks.

I had a similar problem on OC4J. For some crazy reason, Oracle still bundles their own XML parser (I say still. It's OC4J 10.1.3 we have in production, so we're just a wee bit behind the curve). At any rate, I had to tell OC4j not to use Oracle's XML parser and just the one bundle with the JRE (1.5). IIRC (and I should know this since I work on Mojarra :), that's caused by an older version of JAXB, so I think you're on the right track. You might check to see if Tomcat 6 bundles JAXB. If it does, you'll need to remove it or update it. If you're on 1.5 or greater, I don't think you need to have that in the app server lib anyway, as the JDK/JRE bundles it.
Hope that helps. :)
