Missing ELResolver on MyFaces 1.2 for ManagedBean Accesssing

[Christian Schneider]

Hi experts,
i try to access an RequestBean from a SessionBean like this:

final DebuggerBean db = (DebuggerBean) 
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getELResolver().resolveVariable(facesContext,
 "neededBean");

This way is described here [1].

But i got an error that the needed classfile for ELResolver wasn't found on my 
classpath. The project is maven configured and these are my dependencies:
        <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>javax.faces</groupId>
                        <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
                        <version>1.2</version>
                </dependency>

                <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
                        <artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId>
                        <version>1.2.8</version>
                        <scope>compile</scope>
                </dependency>

                <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
                        <artifactId>myfaces-impl</artifactId>
                        <version>1.2.8</version>
                        <scope>compile</scope>
                </dependency>


                <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.tomahawk</groupId>
                        <artifactId>tomahawk12</artifactId>
                        <version>1.1.9</version>
                </dependency>

                <dependency>
                        <groupId>com.sun.facelets</groupId>
                        <artifactId>jsf-facelets</artifactId>
                        <version>1.1.14</version>
                </dependency>

                <dependency>
                        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
                        <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
                        <version>2.4</version>
                </dependency>
        </dependencies>

How can solve the missing ELResolver class?

If i add the el-api and el-impl to the projects pom, the webserver won't start.

<!--            <dependency>-->
<!--                    <groupId>javax.el</groupId>-->
<!--                    <artifactId>el-api</artifactId>-->
<!--                    <version>1.2</version>-->
<!--                    <scope>runtime</scope>-->
<!--            </dependency>-->
<!---->
<!--            <dependency>-->
<!--                    <groupId>javax.el</groupId>-->
<!--                    <artifactId>el-ri</artifactId>-->
<!--                    <version>1.2</version>-->
<!--                    <scope>runtime</scope>-->
<!--            </dependency>-->

Thanks for reading/helping,
Christian.
