Version 2

    Hello,

    When migrating from RF 3.3 to RF 4.5 the most painfull part is to rewrite all the xhtml files according to the new syntax.

    I do understand those who are afraid of spending days or months on migrating their old business applications because I went through this too.

    But this rewriting simply consists in transforming one tag/attribute into another one so why not using XSL/XSLT to perform theses transformations ?

     

    Here we go :

    It is not perfect as I am not an expert on xslt syntax but it does cover the main transformation patterns. Feel free to adapt it to your projects especially regarding to resource transformations (image, css, js).

     

    In order to launch the xslt on your eclipse base projects her after is the way I did it : http://www.keeleek.com/maximize-your-migration-process-from-jsf-1-2-rf-3-to-jsf-2-2-rf-4

     

    I hope it will help and encourage the most hesitant ones to upgrade !
