Ternary Operators with EL not working in JBoss

[Samba <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hi!
I'm facing a strange situation where JBoss is throwing an

where as the same thing is working fine in Tomcat 6.0.16
This occurs only when I use ternary operations in XHTML pages.

Any idea why this is happening?

I think may be Jboss is using an older version of Tomcat with older EL
implementation which could not parse the ternary operations!

If that is true, is there any way to override that jar with the one I have
in my WEB-INF/lib?
