[TC6] default JSP factory not initialized early enough

[Scott Johnson <sc...@us.ibm.com>]

Rémy,

With the latest TC6 code, I'm seeing a problem that did not exist on 
earlier TC6 drivers.  Sorry that I can't put a finger on when this problem 
arose.  I looked into relevant source files (like JspRuntimeContext) but 
haven't found the source of the problem.

Here's the issue (a testcase is attached below).

My app is very simple: it installs ServletContextListener for the purpose 
of adding a custom ELResolver.  It accomplishes this via:

    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent evt) {
        ServletContext context = evt.getServletContext();
        JspApplicationContext jspContext = 
JspFactory.getDefaultFactory().getJspApplicationContext(context);
        jspContext.addELResolver(new ChipsELResolver());
    }


The problem is that JspFactory.getDefaultFactory() is returning null 
(system.out in bold, below):

This is easily reproducible if you deploy the ELResolverTest.war before 
the server has started (I'm assuming JspFactory.setDefaultFactory() hasn't 
been invoked at the time the listeners are being installed).  If you 
deploy the WAR *after* the server starts, the problem does not manifest 
and the app works --- until you stop and restart the server.

This zip file contains the WAR in the ELResolverTest\dist directory; and 
the source and build scripts are provided as well.


Thanks!
