I am trying to deploy a war file into a WildFly Full 10.0.0.Final (WildFly Core 2.0.10.Final) server. But I get following errors in startup

Startup Console message:

And I've added this to my faces-config.xml:

<application>
    <el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
</application>

I've aloso included this into my jboss-deployment.xml:

< module name="javax.el.api" slot="main">

Why am I getting the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for class javax.el.ELResolver? The class is definitly included in the jar file jboss-el-api_3.0_spec-1.0.5.Final.jar, which is part of the WildFly modules (system/layers/base/javax/el/api/main). Even if I include another javax-el dependency into my pom, I get the same error. No difference if I use "provided" or not.

How is this problem caused and how can I solve it? Please help!

  • So it works in wildfly 9? Commented Aug 8, 2017 at 10:54
  • Hi Kukeltje.I didn't try. Commented Aug 8, 2017 at 11:04
  • Because you so explicitly state wildfly 10 in your title, (and text) Commented Aug 8, 2017 at 11:06
  • I just wanted to add as much information as possible. Maybe it is an issue with the version of the app server. I don't know! I just cannot deploy the war sussessfully when then SpringBeanFacesELResolver is included in the faces-config. Without it it is not possible to use the spring beans for the jsf/primefaces beans.

  • By the way ... I just tried with WildFly 9. Same problem: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.el.ELResolver. The module containing this class is present in the wildfly modules structure. Commented Aug 8, 2017 at 11:55

As it seems, I found at least a solution for the deployment problem.

I had to edit the module.xml of the wildfly/modules/org/springframework/spring/main/ module. It has to contain the following two lines:

< module name="javax.el.api"/>

< module name="javax.faces.api"/>

After that Wildfly was able to find the classes.

Now the dependency injection of spring beans into jsf works as expected.

There is no org folder inside module. I am using the same wildfly version and facing a similar issue. Should I create this location and add two lines in module.xml.
