Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager

[shaikhdahood]

Hi Friends,

I am trying to deploy one of my application that is developed using JSF framework. While running the application on JBoss AS 7.1 server I get the below error.

Error Message:

Unable to convert string "#{myController.bannerKeys}" to class "javax.el.ValueExpression" for attribute "value": Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager

And the same application runs fine on other application server's like Weblogic.

Can anyone please tell me where I am going wrong ?

Hard to say, show a jar -tf of the war and list the libs (make sure you don't include extra jsf/el api/impls)

I am trying to depploy an EAR file that has a web module which already has jsf-Impl.jar and jsf-api.jar also in my build path i added the Jboss runtime library for the application,

is this causing the issue if you see the log, that shows the jsf-impl-2.1.5-jbossorg-1.jar:2.1.5-SNAPSHOT ?

[nickarls]

You should avoid bundling any jars with your application that can already be found on the AS (e.g. JSF libs)

[shaikhdahood]

Can you please tell me the exact reason for the error?

Is it due to the two different versions of JSF jars in my application that are causing the issue ?

Sorry , but i am not getting the issue resolved...

[nickarls]

No I can't.

But if you show what jar files you include in your application then perhaps I (or someone else) can have a better chance at guessing the cause.

[shaikhdahood]

ok

myappweb has following jars in it..

lib-->

     commons-beanutils.jar

     commons-collections.jar

     commons-digester.jar

     commons-logging.jar

     jsf-api.jar

     jsf-impl.jar

     jstl_el.jar

     jstl.jar

     standard.jar

and added the server runtime library of Jboss AS 7.

[nickarls]

Try taking out all j*.jar files from the lib

What is the "server runtime library"? In the IDE?

[shaikhdahood]

removing the j*.jar files from the lib application  error out the Classes as it uses those j*.jar files.

and yes server runtime library is in the IDE.

[nickarls]

You can have them as compile-time dependencies but surely you don't need in them in the final WAR, right?

[shaikhdahood]

Now what i did is removed the "server runtime library" from my build path of the application. Now I guess its fine with having the j*.jar files in lib folder right?

But even doing that i face the same issue...:-(

[nickarls]

No. Take. Them. Out

The only thing that counts from the point of the AS is what is left in the WAR lib when it is deployed.

[shaikhdahood]

Ok Nick I now removed the jars from my lib folder of the web application, and the application errors out for the Classes used from the j*.jars, where should i put the jars and make them as compile time dependencies?

[nickarls]

Depends on how you are building the war. Maven? Eclipse?

[shaikhdahood]

Eclipse juno
