Moving from GlassFish V3 to JBoss AS7: JasperException "#{..} is not allowed in template text" when rendering JSP pages.

jrcampins Nov 4, 2012 10:41 AM

I'm moving a JEE application from GlassFish V3 to JBoss AS 7. First problem I had was that init() and destroy() methods of my JSF managed beans were not been invoked. I added @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy annotations to those methods and that solved the problem. Just out of curiosity, I did the same thing in my GlassFish platform and both init() and destroy() methods were executed twice.

Now I'm stuck with a JasperException. JSP pages are not rendered. I'm getting a JasperException that says "#{..} is not allowed in template text". I googled it and I came up with a bunch of recommendations to move to Facelets. The application is using old-style jsp files with woodsotck visual components. Given the project deadline, moving it to Facelets doesn't seem feasible.

My GlassFish V3 platform has Mojarra 2.1.6 and my JBoss AS 7 platform has Mojarra 2.1.7.

So far I haven't been able to determine the reason for all these problems. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

This is the exception (you will find the jsp file, the web.xml file and the faces-config.xml file after the exception):

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /Menu.jsp(6,59) #{..} is not allowed in template text
