Description

We have followed your documentation on the wiki in order to enable EL 2.2 (http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/HowToEnableEl22), it doesn't work on Websphere 7.

• we have added the 2 jars (el-api-2.2.jar and el-impl-2.2.jar from Glassfish implementation) in th classpath of the web application
• we have configured the web.xml like this :
  <context-param>
  <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.EXPRESSION_FACTORY</param-name>
  <param-value>com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl</param-value>
  </context-param>
  [...]
  <listener>
  <listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>
  </listener>

The web application starts without errors,

Problem :
1) When the web application starts we have this first exception :

2) This second exception appears in the log :

[04/04/11 11:24:53:436 CEST] 00000018 webapp E com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebApp notifyServletContextDestroyed SRVE0285E: Exception interceptée lors de la destruction du contexte : {0}

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Factories configured for this Application. This happens if the faces-initialization does not work at all - make sure that you properly include all configuration settings necessary for a basic faces application and that all the necessary libs are included. Also check the logging output of your web application and your container for any exceptions!
If you did that and find nothing, the mistake might be due to the fact that you use some special web-containers which do not support registering context-listeners via TLD files and a context listener is not setup in your web.xml.
A typical config looks like this;
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>

So can you tell us please how to configure EL 2.2 on Websphere 7 ?
