Alternative JSF implementation with JBoss 71

Question

I am trying to use icefaces 1.7.1 in a war application deployed on JBoss 7.0.0.Final

Deployment is failing with an error "Could not compile stylesheet" in icefaces-comp.jar/META-INF/faces-config.xml. I assume this is because JBoss 7 is expecting me to use the JSF implementation that comes with JBoss 7.

I can not change or upgrade the JSF implementation.

JBoss 6 allowed legacy applications to add the following to web.xml so that the JSF implementation bundled with JBoss is ignored:

<context-param>
   <param-name>org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL</param-name>
   <param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>

This does not seem to work with JBoss 7.

Does anybody know how to use an alternative JSF implementation with JBoss 7?

Thanks.

JBoss 7.0.1.Final has been released and fixes this issue, i.e. the org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL context param now works in JBoss 7.0.1.Final.
