Upgraded glassfish 3.1.2.2 to Mojara 2.2.8-03, EL functions in composite components stop working

227 views Asked by At

I've updated glassfish 3.1.2.2 to Mojarra 2.2.8-03 by copying the new javax.faces.jar and javax.el.jar to the $GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/modules directory. After redeploying my application, I've found that the function of:concat is no longer being resolved - when I try to render JSF pages with this code I get the following error. I was wondering where I've gone wrong, I imagine I've forgotten up grade a library or our project pom.xml. This is on a dev machine, using netbeans to deploy.

Exception thrown

It turns out that this was caused by a piece of invalid JSF that used to compile and work, but doesn't compile under the newer version of Mojarra.

Old Code

<h:outputLink value="/alink" target="_blank">
    #{msg[of:concat(of:concat('prefix-', cc.attrs.rType), '-postfix')]}
</h:outputLink>

New Code

<h:outputLink value="/alink" target="_blank">
    <h:outputText value="#{msg[ca:concat('prefix-', cc.attrs.rType, '-postfix')]}" />
</h:outputLink>
