Using FontAwesome 5.15.0 with PrimeFaces 8.0

Question

I am trying to use fontawesome 5.15.0 with primefaces 8.0 and the icons are not rendered in the command button.

in web.xml

<context-param>
    <param-name>primefaces.FONT_AWESOME</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>

in xhtml page

<h:outputStylesheet library="webjars" name="font-awesome/5.15.0/css/all-jsf.css" />
<h:outputStylesheet library="webjars" name="font-awesome/5.15.0/css/v4-shims.min-jsf.css" />

in pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.webjars</groupId>
    <artifactId>font-awesome</artifactId>
    <version>5.15.0</version>
</dependency>

in command button using fa fa-unlock-alt or fas fa-unlock-alt both don't work...

<p:commandButton value="Acessar" icon="fa fa-unlock-alt"
    ajax="false" action="#{loginController.login()}"
    styleClass="btn btn-teal btn-block" />

but <i class="fas fa-user"></i> work!!

Note i'm using Adminfaces(https://github.com/adminfaces) with primefaces 8.0

Does anyone know the solution?

Thanks!

I have found the solution...

the primefaces.FONT_AWESOME need be true...

<context-param>
    <param-name>primefaces.FONT_AWESOME</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>

css imports:

<h:outputStylesheet library="webjars" name="font-awesome/5.15.3/css/solid.min-jsf.css" />
<h:outputStylesheet library="webjars" name="font-awesome/5.15.3/css/fontawesome.min-jsf.css" />
<h:outputStylesheet library="webjars" name="font-awesome/5.15.3/css/v4-shims.min-jsf.css" />

in the commandButtons must be "fa fa-...." fas fa-... not work...
