In normal scenario, JBoss is bundled with JSF libraries.
But it might be older and stable version of JSF.
Due to more features enhancement, bug fixes. We might want to use a more latest version of JSF for our application.
1 way is to upgrade the entire JBoss AS, but this is risky to all the existing applications that are running on the same JBoss AS.
to avoid unexpected issues to existing applications. we can proceed to upgrade the JSF libraries on the new JSF applications only.
We just need to bundled the latest JSF libraris in the same application, and add the following context-param into the web.xml.
Done!!
