JBPM 4.1 or 4.2 on Weblogic 9.2 -> Extra jars + unable to lo

[rockerrocker]

Hi

I have deployed a JBPM (4.1) application on Weblogic 9.2 Server. After a lot of lib clean up , it works fine except for 2 issues -

1. Extra Libraries
POM file contains

<dependency>
<groupId>org.jbpm.jbpm4</groupId>
<artifactId>jbpm-jpdl</artifactId>
<version>4.1</version>
</dependency>

This downloads tons of libraries to my target/web-inf/lib folder during build.
Many of these cause conflict during deployment and are not needed (as i have other versions of those jars). I have to delete many jar files before deploying app on Weblogic 9.2. Has anyone deployed JBPM 4.1 or 4.2 w/o any such jar deletion/modifications ?? Can you share the POM file please.

2. When i start the server - i get the message -

com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException: It appears the JSP version of the container is older than 2.1 and unable to locate the EL RI expression factory, com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl. If not using JSP or the EL RI, make sure the context initialization parameter, com.sun.faces.expressionFactory, is properly set.

When i remove the lines

<context-param>
 <param-name>com.sun.faces.expressionFactory</param-name>
 <param-value>com.sun.faces.ExpressionFactoryImpl</param-value>
 </context-param>

from web.xml and deploy again, it deploys w/o any issue

For 2# : Just to explain, deleting expressionfactory entry from web.xml was a temp solution to get it working. I am looking for a better solution.

Current jar files i have in lib folder (after cleanup)

Great work RockerRocker.

Quick question though: do EL expressions still work from within jBPM?

[kukeltje]

would be nice if you could add a 'weblogic 9.2 profile' to the pom where these are excluded. We might be able to include that in jBPM (just with 'community' support though)
