i am trying to upgrade from jsf 1.2 to jsf 2.2.2 on websphere 8.5.1 and what i did is as follows:
1- put jsf-api-2.2.2.jar and jsf-impl-2.2.2.jar in my lib folder.
2- changed header of web.xml to be as follows:
<web-app
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
id="YourWebappID"
version="2.5">
3- changed header of faces-config.xml to be as follows:
<faces-config
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0">
4- changed the faces servlet to be as follows:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
5- changed the classloader to be parent last on websphere, and i can see in the logs that mojara was initialized successfully.
6- my xhtml page is :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head>
<title></title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h3>JSF 2.0 Hello World</h3>
<h:form>
<h:inputText id="sname" value="test" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
and i am getting the following exception:

please advise about this error, do i have to add javaee jars to my lib folder ? do i have to add jsf listener in web.xml ?
EDIT:
This was solved by removing the jsf-api-2.2.2.jar and jsf-impl-2.2.2.jar
and using javax.faces-2.0.10.jar and jboss-el-2.0.0.GA.jar,but i want to make it work with
jsf-api-2.2.2.jar and jsf-impl-2.2.2.jar, please advise how to solve above exception with latest mojara jars.

JSF 2.2 requires at least Servlet 3.0. Reading the definition of your web.xml i see you're still using Servlet 2.5. Change your first line with
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" version="3.0">
And your faces-config definition should be like
<faces-config version="2.2"
xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_2.xsd">
WebSphere Application Server 8.5 using MyFaces JSF Implementation by default. There is article in IBM Documentation how to use different JSF implementations.
Also faced with same error during migration Struts 1 -> JSF 2.2 It was occurred by ViewHandlerImpl of struts-faces (1.3.8). Looks like this lib is incompatible with Servlet 3 (which is required by JSF 2.2)
PS: Was working with JSF 2.0 without any changes.
So I can suggest to check all 3rd part filters etc., which can be involved to request processing.
