JSF deployment fails with "Could not find backup for factory" exception

Hi David,

It seems that not exploding the war file causes problems with JSF applications:

18:40:52,941 SEVERE [javax.faces] (MSC service thread 1-1) Unable to obtain InjectionProvider from init time FacesContext. Does this container implement the Mojarra Injection SPI?

I checked on 8.0.0.Alpha2 and 7.2.0.Final.

Hope this helps,

Christophe

Christophe can you please add a bit more details about the application packaging?

Hi Jaikiran,

I simplified a lot my test app:

     jsfapp.ear (EAR)

          |_ jsfapp-web.war (WAR)

The jsfapp-web.war contains:

     - A managed bean

     - A JSF test page

     - A web.xml containing the JSF servlet + servlet mapping

I attached the EAR with source code.
