The icefaces-ahs.jar is no longer required to be included in the ICEfaces applications .war-file in order to make use of AHS. By default the ICEfaces application will not try to use AHS. To change this the com.icesoft.faces.blockingRequestHandler property can be set to icefaces-ahs inside the ICEfaces application's web.xml as follows:
<context-param>
<param-name>com.icesoft.faces.blockingRequestHandler</param-name>
<param-value>icefaces-ahs</param-value>
</context-param>
Marking this one as FIXED.
Changed Fix Version(s) to 1.7.2
