Application Server Support

While the discussion in this Getting Started Guide focuses on the Apache Tomcat 6 application server, ICEfaces has been tested against most popular application servers. Refer to the ICEfaces Release Notes for a detailed list of application servers supported in this release.

If you are familiar with the application server on which you intend to deploy, it should be straightforward to deploy the ICEfaces sample application .war files to your environment and verify that ICEfaces is compatible with your specific installation. If an ICEfaces application fails to run in your environment, the problem is most often related to classpath conflicts. Resolve these conflicts to ensure that the JARs packaged in the sample application .war file are being used.

The exact combination of JARs required in your application classpath varies, depending on the application server you intend to deploy your ICEfaces application into, and the specific configuration you choose to use for your application (i.e., Facelets, JSP, icefaces.jar vs. just-ice.jar, etc.). Detailed library dependency information is available in the following sections of the ICEfaces Developer's Guide:

• ICEfaces Library Dependencies in Chapter 4
• Appendix A ICEfaces Library/App. Server Dependencies
