Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManage

[pjmlp]

Hi,

I am trying to port one application from JSF 1.1 to JSF 1.2.

Now I am getting the error message given on the subject in a few RichFaces components.

The snippet from the stack trace is:

javax.faces.FacesException: Unable to convert string "tagTable" to class "javax.el.ValueExpression" for attribute "styleClass": Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager

 at org.apache.myfaces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.render(LifecycleImpl.java:140)
 at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:155)

I already searched everywhere but didn't found and good answer.

There are a few JIRA entries in RichFaces, but they don't provide any information.

Some other sources say that it is related with the standard.jar and jstl.jar versions.

Finally some other users only got rid of the problem by moving their view to facelets.

Any idea what might be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Paulo

Hi Paulo,

I doubt the issue is caused by JSTL. In fact, your application server should support JSP 2.1 in order to use JSF 1.2 with JSP views. In fact, Tomcat 5.0 and 5.5 does not support that. What application server do you use?

Hi,


I am using Tomcat 6.0.18.

[nbelaevski]

Tomcat 6.0.18 should handle this ok. Have you tried to clean temp/work folders?

also if not helps provide additional info about libraries list used by your application.

Hi,

the only way I got around the problem was to migrate to Facelets as some other users did.

Thankfully my client was already thinking about migrating the application to Facelets and these problems helped on his decision making process.

As what the real problem was, I could not find it.

Thanks for the support,
Paulo
