How do I prevent Tomee from providing the jsf 2.2 jar and insure use of the jsf 2.3 jar?

Is this a maven configuration issue or a missing dependency issue or other?

Tomcat server log at startup includes the warning:

WARNING: You are using the library: myfaces-impl in different versions; first (and probably used) version is: 2.2.12 loaded from: file:/path/to/Apache/TomEE/apache-tomee-plus-7.0.5/lib/myfaces-api-2.2.12.jar, but also found the following versions: 2.3.2 loaded from: file:/path/to/eclipse-workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp3/wtpwebapps/ProjectName/WEB-INF/lib/myfaces-api-2.3.2.jar

Then further in the server log the proper constructor can't be found for TomcatAnnotationLifecycleProvider

I have added a faces-config.xml. This is the complete file content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<faces-config

    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_3.xsd"

    version="2.3">



    <!-- Config here. -->

</faces-config>

This just won't work as the TomEE integration just targets the MyFaces 2.2 packages and SPI. We did some refactoring on the MyFaces codebase during 2.3 development. I don't think you can get it running for 100%.

You can however just upgrade to TomEE 8.0.0.M1, which already has MyFaces 2.3 integrated.
