PI70861: The jsf-2.0 and jsf-2.2 features have org.apache.commons.logging exposed as API

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The jsf-2.0 and jsf-2.2 features incorrectly export the
  org.apache.commons.logging package as API and should not.
  This means that customers who have one of these two features
  enabled can not use their own commons logging
  implementation.
  
  There are some issues caused by this, mainly it conflicts
  with a user provided version in an application.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty    *
  *                  Profile users of JavaServer Faces (JSF)     *
  *                  MyFaces 2.0 and 2.2                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The JSF features expose the apache      *
  *                      commons-logging package as API          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Currently the JSF 2.0 and JSF 2.2 features incorrectly export
  the org.apache.commons.logging package as API. As a result,
  customers can not use their own commons logging implementation
  if they have one of these two features enabled.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JSF 2.0 and JSF 2.2 features were updated to not expose the
  apache commons-logging package as API. From now on, the apache
  commons-logging library needs to be included as part of the
  application.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 16.0.0.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
