Porting JSF application from tomcat 6 to weblogic 9
Hi all,
I have a deployed a sample JSF application in tomcat 6.0. It works fine.
But when i try to port the same application to weblogic 9 it is not working, I am getting the following error when i try to access the jsf(jsp)
weblogic.servlet.jsp.CompilationException: Failed to compile JSP /login.jsp
login.jsp:12:44: No conversion available for the type "javax.el.ValueExpression".
UserID: <h:inputText value="#{mgr.userID}"/>
My web.xml contains FaceServlet mapping. Is there any weblogic specif Expression language listener i need to add in we.xml as context param?
I have aded jsf-impl,jsf-api,standard,jstl and el-api jar in the classpath llib.
Any sort of help on this to proceed will be great.

Hi
"JSP /login.jsp" seems to hint that you use straight JSF (with JSP and not facelets)...
Well JSF 1.2 requires JEE 5 and WLS 9.x only supports J2EE 1.4 -> the JSP-version included in WLS 9 is not readyfor JSF.
BUT: you can add Facelets to your setup, convert all your JSP's to xhtml-files and then it is possible to use WLS 9.
If you want to test on Tomcat before deploying to WLS 9, you should use Tomcat 5.5

Hi Alexander Jesse,
Thanks for pointing out the solution.
I was also going through webogic 9.1 docs for JSF, and found weblogic 9.1 doesnt support JSF 1.2, jsp 2.3. It supports only jsf 1.1 and jstl 1.1 jar .
Now currently i am using jsf 1.2 and el-api.jar. Also i am using jasper-el.jar copied from tomcat lib for ExpressionFactoryImpl.
1. So does this application works with weblogic 9.1 if i change jsf 1.2 jar to jsf 1.1 jar?
2. Also do i need to keep jasper-el and el-api.jar?
3. Also do i need to change <%@ page contentType="application/xhtml+xml" %> ?
All these three steps are mandatory?
Please provide some direction on this to proceed
Regards,
Sudheer
