I wanted to start dabbling with JSF and the latest JDK and Tomcat versions. I have an idea for a website that I want to create. To gain skills and knowledge in JSF seems valuable to me.
I had seen that myfaces 1.2 came out and tried to get it working but ran into some JSTL tag issues. Roseindia.net gives a tutorial on how to get Tomcat 6 and jsf 1.2 running together.
Basic downloads to get started
Java JDK 1.6 http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Eclipse http://www.eclipse.org
Tomcat 6 http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi
Sysdeo Pluginhttp://www.eclipsetotale.com/tomcatPlugin.html
This plugin allows you to start and stop tomcat from within Eclipse which is a feature I like.
Proof that you can run jsf 1.2 on Tomcat 6

An excellent book that I am starting to go through the examples
is Core JavaServer Faces by Geary & Horstmann.
I successfully got the first example to run properly, something that I was
not able to do with the latest myfaces 1.2 and Tomcat 6.
Example code from the book can be found at
www.corejsf.com
Earlier this year, I built a website using myfaces 1.1 and Tomcat 5. That was nice but jsf 1.2 is the more current version and I want to migrate towards that.
Now that I have it set up, I can start working in JSF 1.2 and all that it
offers.
I did try and set up the Chapter 8 Tiles examples from corejsf.com and ran into some JSTL tag issues.
The following link helped resolve that

Hi I'm trying the same thing, I've got it all working but I've hit something of an issue, have you tried using a selectManyMenu bound to a value in a backing bean using f:selectItems? when I hit submit on my form it blows away the contents of my menu! It doesn't happen if you set up the jsp/f page using f:selectItem only binding through selectItems
