The weblogic10.3.4 comes with JSF 2.0 ..We deployed JSF2.0 as library in weblogic.

But when we deploy

Answer 1

Adding the below in web-inf/weblogic.xml solves the issue

<wls:weblogic-version>10.3.4</wls:weblogic-version>

    <wls:context-root>/</wls:context-root>

<wls:library-ref>
    <wls:library-name>jsf</wls:library-name>
<wls:specification-version>2.0</wls:specification-version>
<wls:implementation-version>1.0.0.0_2-0-2</wls:implementation-version>
    <wls:exact-match>true</wls:exact-match>
    </wls:library-ref>   

Answer 2

Create a weblogic-application.xml like below. This forces to load classes under application library instead of weblogic jars.

WebContent->META-INF->weblogic-application.xml

<weblogic-application xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <prefer-application-packages>
        <package-name>javax.faces.*</package-name>
        <package-name>com.sun.faces.*</package-name>
    </prefer-application-packages>
</weblogic-application>

And if you want to use EL2.2 you will need to add el 2.2 jars to setDomainEnv file where it is located at "bea11\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin"

Add the following line:

set PATCH_CLASSPATH=D:\dev\lib\el-impl-2.2.jar;D:\dev\lib\el-api-2.2.jar;

edited file looks like below:

if "%PRODUCTION_MODE%"=="true" (
    set debugFlag=false
    set testConsoleFlag=false
    set iterativeDevFlag=false
    set logErrorsToConsoleFlag=false
)

    @REM If you want to override the default Patch Classpath, Library Path and Path for this domain,
    @REM Please uncomment the following lines and add a valid value for the environment variables
    @REM set PATCH_CLASSPATH=[myPatchClasspath] (windows)
    @REM set PATCH_LIBPATH=[myPatchLibpath] (windows)
    @REM set PATCH_PATH=[myPatchPath] (windows)
    @REM PATCH_CLASSPATH=[myPatchClasspath] (unix)
    @REM PATCH_LIBPATH=[myPatchLibpath] (unix)
    @REM PATCH_PATH=[myPatchPath] (unix)

    set PATCH_CLASSPATH=D:\dev\lib\el-impl-2.2.jar;D:\dev\lib\el-api-2.2.jar;

    call "%WL_HOME%\common\bin\commEnv.cmd"

    set WLS_HOME=%WL_HOME%\server

Good luck
