    ValueExpression.setValue does not work upon upgrade from JBoss 5.0 to 5.1

      Hi

       

      I've tried updating JBoss 5.0.1 to 5.1.0.GA, but my JSF application fails, because of a utility method used on almost every page is no longer working.

       

      The utility method is using a value expression to set a managed bean into its proper scope after a search request has been performed.

       

      I.e.

       

      MyManagedBean bean = search(inputvalues);

      setManagedBean("fooBean", bean);

       

      And the utility method implementation:

       

      public static <T> void setManagedBean(String binding, T bean) { 

         FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

         ELContext elCtx = ctx.getELContext();

         ExpressionFactory factory = ctx.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();

         String exp = "#{"+binding+"}";

         ValueExpression valueExp = factory.createValueExpression(elCtx, exp, bean.getClass());

         valueExp.setValue(elCtx, bean);

      }

       

      What happens upon execution is that an empty instance of MyManagedBean is inserted, i.e. all field values are gone. Does anyone have a clue on why this behavior occures now?

       

       

      We have created a basic JSF 1.2 web application compiled against JSF RI 1.2_08 and packaged with Facelets 1.1.15.B1 and Richfaces 3.3.1.GA.

      It seems that JBoss 5.1 executes with Mojarra 1.2_12-b01-FCS, is that a change?

       

      JDK version is 1.6.0_22

       

      Feel free to ask any questions if I left out important information.
