Problem with myfaces and Tomcat 6

Hello,

I have a problem to get a working myfaces1.1.6 application
migrated to myfaces 1.2.

I copied all libs from myfaces 1.2 bin distribution to
WEB-INF/lib dir. After deploying to tomcat 6.0.16 an
exception is thrown, if I cal the start.jsf Page. You can
found the exception on the end of this mail. I searched a
little bit and found this (http://www.mail-arc
hive.com/usersmyfaces.apache.org/msg40409.html). But it
does not really solve the problem. I got the same exception
too, after adding standard-xxx.jar and the other stuff.

The application runs successfully with myfaces1.1.6 on both
server's tomcat 5.5 and tomcat 6.

The application uses the tomahawk TilesViewHandler to enable
tiles support. I don't know if it is important.

Thanks a lot!!

Jochen,

I've been experiencing the same problems. Somewhere in the
generation of
the Java code based on the JSP either Tomcat or Myfaces
screw up very
badly. It's trying to interpret static values as
EL-expressions (as you
can see from the stacktrace). As far as I know, (tested
about two weeks
ago) this hasn't been solved yet in the SVN version of
MyFaces 1.2, so
the only option is to wait for these bugs to be solved.
Because of this
I reverted back to the MyFaces 1.1.6 implementation.

Another option would be to incorporate the Facelets library.
Using
facelets, the JSP compilation of Tomcat isn't used and
things work fine.
Off course it requires introduction of yet-another-library,
which may be
a problem.

In general I hope that this will be fixed soon as tomcat is
probably a
primary deployment target for many people..

Regards,

Jeroen
