JBossAS 7.1, jsp and jsf 1.1: problems compiling jsp pages

[nicolaborsetto72]

Hello,

i have a web application that uses jsf 1.1 and rich-faces 3.1.6.

The pages are jsp pages.

The web.xml contains the tag:

<context-param>

        <param-name>org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL</param-name>

        <param-value>true</param-value>

    </context-param>

and in web-inf\lib

i have added all jars necessary for jsf 1.1. and rich-faces 3.16

JBoss 7.1 deploys the application without error, but when i call a jsp page from the application  i got the following error:

The method setWidth(String) in the type PanelGridTag is not applicable for the arguments (JspValueExpression)

....

....

<h:panelGrid width="100%" style="text-align:center;">

	The method setWidth(String) in the type PanelGridTag is not applicable for the arguments (JspValueExpression)
	<h:panelGrid width="100%" style="text-align:center;">

It seems that the servet from jsp page are created usign jsf1.1 but when compiling JBoss uses jsf2.x.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

Hi Nicola,

did you solve this issue? I'm actually in the same spot and have to make a decission if I migrate to a newer JSF version or get the old one running.

thanks

I think Nicola might be right on this.  It looks like the code is adding cached TLD metadata even when WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL is present.  The cached TLD's are indeed compiled with JSF2.  This is only a problem in AS7.1, not in AS7.2.

I can't be sure of this until I am able to reproduce the problem.  Do either of you have a simple app that reproduces it?  Perhaps there is a particular tag that exhibits the problem?

Hi Stan,

my app is fairly complex so it's a bunch of work to isolate the issue. But I've seen the problem on many standard attributes of core and html tags.

Any idea if there is a workaround in AS 7.1.1?

thanks

one additional hint - I've a custom taglib on my project which seems to work.

I tested the nightly build 7.2.0-ALPHA and it works fine!

thanks for your help

As long as you are on the bleeding edge, you might also be interested in this:
