8 The Alfresco war file has a WEB-INF/web.xml deployment descriptor that doesn’t comply with the DTD, you need to replace this file and add a Glassfish specific deployment descriptor that will allow Alfresco to use MyFaces instead of JSF.

Get these two files from http://blogs.sun.com/mandy/resource/web.xml, http://blogs.sun.com/mandy/resource/sun-web.xml

Change to the unpacked directory created from alfresco-community-war-3.2r2.tar.gz, create a new directory named WEB-INF and copy the above two files into it. Now update the alfresco.war file using the Java jar command

jar -uvf alfresco.war WEB-INF/*.xml

The alfresco.war should be edited.
