Where is DelegatingFacesELResolver in 2.5?

[Alan Stewart]

Hi,
I read on page 27 of the Spring 2.5 ref doc pdf there is a new variant of DelegatingVariableResolver called DelegatingFacesELResolver for JSF 1.2, however I can't find the class in the javadocs or the spring 2.5 jar. There is a class called SpringBeanFacesELResolver in the org.springframework.web.jsf.el package and the javadocs for this class also refer to the DelegatingFacesELResolver.
Is something missing here?
Thanks
Alan

The web stuff isn't in the full spring.jar anymore (as mentioned in the changelog). You need to add spring-web and the other desired web jars yourself.

In fact, there is no more DelegatingFacesResolver in Spring 2.5, but as you mentionned it in your first Post, there is now SpringBeanFacesELResolver.

You have to declare it in your faces-config.xml like this:

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

By the way, it was a pain in the a** ti figure that out, because of the terrible confusion about the name of the JSF 1.2 EL Resolver in Spring 2.5. The doc is not up to date with the distrib.

Thanks. Can you please post your full DOCTYPE in your faces-config.xml file? Eclipse is giving me an error and my Tomcat won't start - this is probably because I have the JSF 1.1 DTD instead of 1.2 in mine
