Hi Howard!
JUEL is an Expression Language implementation. It has nothing to do with CDI apart from CDI providing an ELResolver. JUEL is much faster than the EL interpreter in glassfish, so this is fine. For your beans getting recognized in EL expressions: 1.) Do you have a META-INF/beans.xml in all your jars/classpaths which contain CDI beans? This files can be empty, they just act as marker files. For the webapp you might add one to WEB-INF/beans.xml. 2.) Do your CDI beans you access via EL have a @Named annotation? This is needed to make them available for ELResolvers. 3.) glassfish has a few nasty integration issues when it comes to pluggin in different container parts. Can you try your app on tomee-1.5? [1]. It comes with the latest MyFaces out of the box! LieGrue, strub [1] http://tomee.apache.org/downloads.html ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Howard W.
