Need upgrading JSF to 1.2.x or higher in Sakai-JSF framework

Description

All current Sakai versions are still using the 1.1.x JSF. It will be great that someone could upgrade the JSF version to 1.2.x (new 2.0 may not work). Current 1.1.x JSF causes a lot of unexpected crashed due to 'duplicated component Id' or error message like:
'javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Error getting property 'attachList' from bean of type '

This happens for all JSF-based tools such as Forum, Tests&Quizzes, Sign-up Tool. It is caused by the bugs in JSF 1.1.x version .

One immediate solution can be done from the suggestion of this blog:

http://www.coderanch.com/t/213569/JSF/java/troubleshoot-duplicate-Id-component-errors

However, it will be better to upgrade the JSF to a higer version to ultimately fix numerous bugs.

Thanks a lot!

I think we should be looking ahead to at a minimum of JSF 2.0 for the next major release of Sakai. If Sakai CLE 2.10 (CLE 4) has Spring and Hibernate upgrade it would probably make sense to get JSF upgraded.

The reason for going to 2.0 is that JSF 1.1 (circa 2004) and JSF1.2 (circa 2006) are to old for the modern needs.

Among many needs is the ability to add ViewScoped beans so that tools can start to behave correctly with multiple tabs open which is only available starting with JSF 2.0.

Better navigation, AJAX support the list is huge see http://andyschwartz.wordpress.com/2009/07/31/whats-new-in-jsf-2/

Strongly recommend we move past JSF 1.x

Juan José, if you could write a basic guide to show how to update existing JSF tools like Samigo and MsgCntr, I think we can find volunteers to do the work.
