Hi, I have tried to enable the JSF based integration tests with the tomcat web container. These tests fail becasue the war-jsf war does not start.
The first issue I see is that the expression factory cannot be found. javax.el.ELException: Unable to find ExpressionFactory of type: org.apache.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl at javax.el.ExpressionFactory.newInstance(ExpressionFactory.java:165)[104:org.ops4j.pax.tipi.tomcat-embed-core:8.0.14.1] at javax.el.ExpressionFactory.newInstance(ExpressionFactory.java:104)[104:org.ops4j.pax.tipi.tomcat-embed-core:8.0.14.1] I have looked into the jetty code and they replace the classloader for the context (which is a ResouceDelegatingBundleClassloader for the war) with a newly instantiated ResourceDelegatingBundleClassloader, which uses the pax-web-jetty-bundle classloader as a parent classloader. If I do the same in pax-web-tomcat (with pax-web-tomcat-bundle as a parent classloader) el works, but now I get another error: org.ops4j.pax.web.pax-web-runtime[org.ops4j.pax.web.service.internal.HttpServiceStarted] : Exception finalizing HttpContext registration org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[[war-jsf-sample]-org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.WebAppWebContainerContext]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) at org.ops4j.pax.web.service.tomcat.internal.TomcatServerWrapper$2$1.call(TomcatServerWrapper.java:903) at org.ops4j.pax.web.service.tomcat.internal.TomcatServerWrapper$2$1.call(TomcatServerWrapper.java:899) at org.ops4j.pax.swissbox.core.ContextClassLoaderUtils.doWithClassLoader(ContextClassLoaderUtils.java:60) at org.ops4j.pax.web.service.tomcat.internal.TomcatServerWrapper$2.start(TomcatServerWrapper.java:897) at org.ops4j.pax.web.service.internal.HttpServiceStarted.end(HttpServiceStarted.java:1137) at org.ops4j.pax.web.service.internal.HttpServiceProxy.end(HttpServiceProxy.java:444) at org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.RegisterWebAppVisitorWC.end(RegisterWebAppVisitorWC.java:398) at org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.model.WebApp.accept(WebApp.java:656) at org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.WebAppPublisher$WebAppDependencyListener.register(WebAppPublisher.java:228) at org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.WebAppPublisher$WebAppDependencyListener.addingService(WebAppPublisher.java:173) at org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.WebAppPublisher$WebAppDependencyListener.addingService(WebAppPublisher.java:129) at org.osgi.util.tracker.ServiceTracker$Tracked.customizerAdding(ServiceTracker.java:941) at org.osgi.util.tracker.ServiceTracker$Tracked.customizerAdding(ServiceTracker.java:870) at org.osgi.util.tracker.AbstractTracked.trackAdding(AbstractTracked.java:256) at org.osgi.util.tracker.AbstractTracked.trackInitial(AbstractTracked.java:183) at org.osgi.util.tracker.ServiceTracker.open(ServiceTracker.java:318) at org.osgi.util.tracker.ServiceTracker.open(ServiceTracker.java:261) at org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.WebAppPublisher.publish(WebAppPublisher.java:98) at org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.WebObserver.deploy(WebObserver.java:217) at org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.WebObserver$1.doStart(WebObserver.java:172) at org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.extender.SimpleExtension.start(SimpleExtension.java:59) at org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.extender.AbstractExtender.lambda$createExtension$0(AbstractExtender.java:277) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.access$201(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:180) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:293) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Factories configured for this Application. This happens if the faces-initialization does not work at all - make sure that you properly include all configuration settings necessary for a basic faces application and that all the necessary libs are included. Also check the logging output of your web application and your container for any exceptions! If you did that and find nothing, the mistake might be due to the fact that you use some special web-containers which do not support registering context-listeners via TLD files and a context listener is not setup in your web.xml. A typical config looks like this; <listener> <listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class> </listener> at javax.faces.FactoryFinder._getFactory(FactoryFinder.java:305) at javax.faces.FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.java:225) at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.init(FacesServlet.java:115) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat$ExistingStandardWrapper.loadServlet(Tomcat.java:868) at org.ops4j.pax.web.service.tomcat.internal.TomcatServerWrapper$OsgiExistingStandardWrapper$1.call(TomcatServerWrapper.java:289) at org.ops4j.pax.web.service.tomcat.internal.TomcatServerWrapper$OsgiExistingStandardWrapper$1.call(TomcatServerWrapper.java:284) at org.ops4j.pax.swissbox.core.ContextClassLoaderUtils.doWithClassLoader(ContextClassLoaderUtils.java:60) at org.ops4j.pax.web.service.tomcat.internal.TomcatServerWrapper$OsgiExistingStandardWrapper.load(TomcatServerWrapper.java:282) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.loadOnStartup(StandardContext.java:4969) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal(StandardContext.java:5255) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) ... 29 more Do you have any idea, what is wrong now?
