title: MyFaces 2.1.8 Project on WebSphere 8.0.0.3
body: <p>I need to run my Java EE 6 project on WebSphere Application Server 8.0.0.3.
  The Server has Apache MyFaces 2.0 Support.</p>
  
  <p>When I use the Server lib, the deployment works, but my application has some bugs.
  Therefore I use Apache MyFaces 2.1.8. I put the api and impl in my WEB-INF/lib/ dir.
  Also I configured my WAS parent_last and jsf-implementation SUNRI1.2.</p>
  
  <p>When I deploy my project I get the following Exception:</p>
