Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty * * Profile version 8.5.5 users of JavaServer * * Faces (JSF) Apache MyFaces 2.2 utilizing * * the Expression Language (EL) 3.0 * * ImportHandler * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Expression Language (EL) 3.0 * * ImportHandler does not work in JSF 2.2 * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** EL class resolution does not work in the JSF 2.2 feature. For example, given the following EL expression embedded in a facelet: <h:outputText id="test" value="#{Integer.numberOfTrailingZeros(16)}"/> A "4" should be returned; however, nothing is returned, as the resolution and importing of the class Integer fails.
Problem conclusion
A new EL resolver was added to the JSF 2.2 MyFaces feature, which addresses this issue with the EL 3.0 ImportHandler. In order to enable the updated behavior, set the following web context parameter to "true": org.apache.myfaces.SUPPORT_EL_3_IMPORT_HANDLER (true/false- default). Fix details can be found at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3981 The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.9.
