JSF incompatability error? WAS 7 capabilities vs. application lib contents
aphil...@us.ibm.com
I have a web application I am porting from tomcat 5 to WAS 7. It was originally targeted for JSF 1.1. During the porting I have upgraded the application (using RAD 7.5) to JSF 1.2 (including Dyn Web Mod 2.5). I have deployed the application to my WAS 7.0 server and when I attempt to load a page with JSF components I received the following error in my browser.
Error 500: com.ibm.ws.jsp.JspCoreException: Unable to convert string 'form' to class javax.el.ValueExpression for attribute styleClass: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager
I have searched the internet for this condition and am only able to find one reference at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=14162904&tstart=0. It suggests that there is a conflict between JSF libraries in my apps lib directory and those that are available on the WAS 7.0 server. I have tried removing jsf-impl.jar and jsf-api.jar from my apps lib directory and re-installing the app but no luck so far.
I have also reviewed this page: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/info/ae/ae/cweb_javaserver_faces.html
I have WAS 7.0 setup to use IBM's JSF 1.2 capabilities. Below is a list of the jar's in my application lib directory.
***** Would also accept opinions as to whether this is the problem given the error message I am getting ;-)
Any help would be welcome!
