Done. I removed JUEL (and MyFaces CODI), for now, from classpath as well as web.xml.
FYI, with respect to writeup, how to use Juel with TomEE/OpenWebBeans, I used instructions at the following URL: http://tandraschko.blogspot.de/2012/08/increase-your-jsf-application.html Before and after removing JUEL (and MyFaces CODI), I have been getting the following exception in the server log: Nov 17, 2012 12:35:49 PM org.apache.tomee.catalina.OpenEJBContextConfig processAnnotationsFile SEVERE: OpenEJBContextConfig.processAnnotationsFile: failed. java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal/unsupported escape sequence near index 3 C:\Users\Public\NetBeansProjects\mcms\build\web\WEB-INF\classes ^ Does this mean that I should do as Jose recommended to me earlier...add any/all JARs to tomee /lib folder? I am deploying via NetBeans 7.2's Deploy option against TomEE. Should I deploy the generated WAR file, manually, by dropping WAR file in tomee webapps folder instead?
