Hi It seems to be an issue related to some performance improvements done in 2.1.6 (Use grails StreamCharBuffer).
Please create an issue in: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES I'll solve this issue, disabling that hack by default, because in GAE it is not possible to set system properties. Thanks for report it. regards, Leonardo Uribe 2012/3/7 lucio piccoli <[email protected]>: > hi all > > i am getting the following error when running on appengine. > > Unable to use direct char[] access of java.lang.String > > i found some src code that alowed for onfiguration of the the chararray > access. > > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/core/trunk/shared/src/main/java/org/apache/myfaces/shared/util/StringCharArrayAccessor.java > > it uses a poperty to disable using the char access. > > static volatile boolean enabled = !Boolean > .getBoolean("oam.stringchararrayaccessor.disabled"); > > where is this property set? > > it is not documented anywhere. > > -lp
