can't configure public static inner class in faces-config.xml

[Böhringer Jochen]

Hello,   I tried to configure class TableSettings I have defined using public static class inside another class UserSettings as managed bean. But the first time the bean is accessed a ClassNotFound Exception is thrown (see below). If I define the class TableSettings in a separate file it works. Is this a bug?   I am using MyFaces 1.1.5 nightly.   Regards Jochen     <managed-bean>   <managed-bean-name>tableSettings</managed-bean-name>   <managed-bean-class>de.tccproducts.kn.jsf.model.UserSettings.TableSettings</managed-bean-class>   <managed-bean-scope>none</managed-bean-scope>   <managed-property>    <property-name>rowsFormTable</property-name>    <property-class>java.lang.Integer</property-class>    <value>20</value>   </managed-property>   <managed-property>    <property-name>rowsResultTable</property-name>    <property-class>java.lang.Integer</property-class>    <value>50</value>   </managed-property>  </managed-bean>     package de.tccproducts.kn.jsf.model;   import java.io.Serializable;   public class UserSettings implements Serializable{         […]               public static class TableSettings implements Serializable {               private static final long serialVersionUID = -1883717926676470240L;             private int rowsResultTable;             private int rowsFormTable;                         public TableSettings() {                               }                         [… getter and setter…]       }   }   Caused by: javax.faces.FacesException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: de.tccproducts.kn.jsf.model.UserSettings.TableSettings       at org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.util.ClassUtils.simpleClassForName(ClassUtils.java:162)       at org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.util.ClassUtils.newInstance(ClassUtils.java:265)       at org.apache.myfaces.config.ManagedBeanBuilder.buildManagedBean(ManagedBeanBuilder.java:46)       at org.apache.myfaces.el.VariableResolverImpl.resolveVariable(VariableResolverImpl.java:311)       at org.apache.myfaces.custom.redirectTracker.RedirectTrackerVariableResolver.resolveVariable(RedirectTrackerVariableResolver.java:38)       at org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.el.TrinidadVariableResolver.resolveVariable(TrinidadVariableResolver.java:52)       at org.apache.myfaces.config.LastVariableResolverInChain.resolveVariable(LastVariableResolverInChain.java:42)       at org.apache.myfaces.el.ValueBindingImpl$ELVariableResolver.resolveVariable(ValueBindingImpl.java:567)       at org.apache.commons.el.NamedValue.evaluate(NamedValue.java:124)       at org.apache.myfaces.el.ValueBindingImpl.getValue(ValueBindingImpl.java:383)       ... 57 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: de.tccproducts.kn.jsf.model.UserSettings.TableSettings       at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1352)       at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1198)       at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)       at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)       at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:242)       at org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.util.ClassUtils.classForName(ClassUtils.java:138)       at org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.util.ClassUtils.simpleClassForName(ClassUtils.java:157)
