ExpressionFactory

[bendg25]

Hi

1) Please note:

jboss-seam-2.0.0.GA\examples\jpa\resources-weblogic92\WEB-INF\web.xml references webapp 2.5 but weblogic 9.2 only supports 2.4 so the example needs updating

2) When deploying war file to Weblogic 9.2 (via a maven build script), I am getting:

16-Nov-2007 16:17:24 com.sun.faces.spi.InjectionProviderFactory createInstance
WARNING: JSF1033: Resource injection is DISABLED.
16-Nov-2007 16:17:24 com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener installExpressionFactory
SEVERE: Error Instantiating ExpressionFactory

My war file contains:

Can someone advise to what the recommended fix is?

Cheers

I forgot to add that a couple of suggestions I have seen are to:

add this jar to the war file:

el-ri.jar

or add this to web.xml

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

But I am not sure if using apache expression factory is the right thing to do?

I would suggest comparing the built war from the jpa example to your built war.
