Correct. Fixing those bugs are generally pretty simple, because they're
fairly small in functionality.
Well, I feel like a n00b after having realized the most severe problems
we're actually caused by the fact that a team member (who is running
JBoss locally) had set com.sun.faces.expressionFactory parameter to
com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl. So there was a mixture of two
implementations. Sorry for blaming Resin! *blush*
After changing the setting to com.caucho.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl (or
rather a proxy using com.caucho.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl if present),
the problems turning are much less severe.
I reported http://bugs.caucho.com/view.php?id=5034 (which has a very
easy workaround) and http://bugs.caucho.com/view.php?id=5035 (which
should be no problem in production, but make development much less
effective; trivial to fix so I trust it to be in the next release)
I do want to ask, why Resin is using a custom EL implementation rather
than the Sun implementation? Performance? Licensing?
In case there is good reason to stick with custom implementation, and
the above two bugs are fixed, I guess
http://bugs.caucho.com/view.php?id=5011 can be closed.
