This is a web server version problem.

If you use Tomcat 7.x it should work without problems. You're already done :)

if i instead use jetty:run (since i think i am using tomcat 7) i get this:



Problem accessing /myapp/pages/main.jsf. Reason:

Target Unreachable, identifier 'bookBean' resolved to null

Caused by:

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable, identifier 'bookBean' resolved to null

this has taken waaaaay too much time at this point. i thought this was supposed to be RAD out-of-the-box. i'm going to try groovy and see how much luck i have there.

so i switched to tomcat7 :

Dec 15, 2012 11:19:35 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine startInternal
INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/7.0.25

but still i get the locale bean error:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Faces Servlet] in context with path [/thedrvault] threw exception [/templates/layout.xhtml at line 8 and column 63 locale="#{localeBean.locale}" Attribute did not evaluate to a String or Locale: null] with root cause
