Re: MyFaces 2.1.9 / Glassfish 3.1.2.2: Migrating to CDI Managed Beans
Hi Howard!
cross-posting to openejb-dev which is the community behind TomEE.
Juel is an Expression Language library which parses the EL expressions and invokes the various registered ELResolvers until one of them feels responsible.
TomEE (like glassfish) contains plain tomcat which has an own EL library in jasper-el.
Please remove juel for now. We will add it back later. also comment out the expression factory context-param in your web.xml.
I'm not sure if that helps, but via remote I can only to give you tips until we found the problem.
PS: TODO we gonna write up a documentation about how to use JUEL with TomEE.

Re: MyFaces 2.1.9 / Glassfish 3.1.2.2: Migrating to CDI Managed Beans
Posted by "Howard W. Smith, Jr." <sm...@gmail.com>.
Done. I removed JUEL (and MyFaces CODI), for now, from classpath as well as
web.xml.
FYI, with respect to writeup, how to use Juel with TomEE/OpenWebBeans, I
used instructions at the following URL:
http://tandraschko.blogspot.de/2012/08/increase-your-jsf-application.html
Before and after removing JUEL (and MyFaces CODI), I have been getting the
following exception in the server log:
Nov 17, 2012 12:35:49 PM org.apache.tomee.catalina.OpenEJBContextConfig
processAnnotationsFile
SEVERE: OpenEJBContextConfig.processAnnotationsFile: failed.
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal/unsupported escape sequence
near index 3
C:\Users\Public\NetBeansProjects\mcms\build\web\WEB-INF\classes
^
Does this mean that I should do as Jose recommended to me earlier...add
any/all JARs to tomee /lib folder? I am deploying via NetBeans 7.2's Deploy
option against TomEE. Should I deploy the generated WAR file, manually, by
dropping WAR file in tomee webapps folder instead?

Re: MyFaces 2.1.9 / Glassfish 3.1.2.2: Migrating to CDI Managed Beans
Posted by "Howard W. Smith, Jr." <sm...@gmail.com>.
Done. I removed JUEL (and MyFaces CODI), for now, from classpath as well as
web.xml.
FYI, with respect to writeup, how to use Juel with TomEE/OpenWebBeans, I
used instructions at the following URL:
http://tandraschko.blogspot.de/2012/08/increase-your-jsf-application.html
Before and after removing JUEL (and MyFaces CODI), I have been getting the
following exception in the server log:
Nov 17, 2012 12:35:49 PM org.apache.tomee.catalina.OpenEJBContextConfig
processAnnotationsFile
SEVERE: OpenEJBContextConfig.processAnnotationsFile: failed.
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal/unsupported escape sequence
near index 3
C:\Users\Public\NetBeansProjects\mcms\build\web\WEB-INF\classes
^
Does this mean that I should do as Jose recommended to me earlier...add
any/all JARs to tomee /lib folder? I am deploying via NetBeans 7.2's Deploy
option against TomEE. Should I deploy the generated WAR file, manually, by
dropping WAR file in tomee webapps folder instead?
