Native compile error: Discovered unresolved method during parsing: jakarta.el.ELResolver.getFeatureDescriptors

[redddcyclone]

Hello,

First of all, I can't exactly say this issue is related to quarkus-faces, but I used it as reference and couldn't think of a better place to ask for help with the following problem.

I'm getting these errors when trying to build a native image for my project with myfaces-quarkus 4.0.2 and quarkus-primefaces 3.14.6.3:

Error: Unsupported features in 2 methods
Detailed message:
Error: Discovered unresolved method during parsing: jakarta.el.ELResolver.getFeatureDescriptors(jakarta.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object). This error is reported at image build time because class org.apache.myfaces.component.validate.CopyBeanInterceptorELResolver is registered for linking at image build time by command line and command line.
Error encountered while parsing org.apache.myfaces.component.validate.CopyBeanInterceptorELResolver.getFeatureDescriptors(CopyBeanInterceptorELResolver.java:80)

I see @melloware had already reported this at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4579, but I couldn't solve this problem on my own.

Do you know what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

@redddcyclone what the issue was is that somehow you have a dependency in your pom.xml bringing in the wrong EL like "Nevermind Had to remove GlassFish EL it looks like MyFaces includes JASPER EL 11.0.0-M1"

[melloware]

If you can provide your pom.xml it may help?

[redddcyclone]

I see that the package jakarta.el-api version 5.0.1 (which contains the method described in the error) is brought by quarkus-reactive-routes and quarkus-narayana-jta. I already tried excluding this dependency from both dependencies but the problem still happens. I'll post the pom.xml in a few minutes

[melloware]

thx

Should I remove tomcat-el-api 11.0.0-M1 instead? Maybe I actually tried excluding the wrong dependency

[melloware]

try that i will also investigate on my side. I think I need to make a fix in Quarkus PrimeFaces to support this but go ahead and try that first.

[redddcyclone]

@melloware I excluded tomcat-el-api 11.0.0-M1 from myfaces-quarkus itself, as in:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core.extensions.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>myfaces-quarkus</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.2</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
            <artifactId>tomcat-el-api</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

After doing this, the native image was built just fine. Do you think something should be done about this in myfaces-quarkus and/or quarkus-primefaces?

Anyway, I'm gonna test the image now. Thanks a lot for your help as always!

[melloware]

Yep I am going to fix it in MyFaces. It should NOT be including JASPER EL it should be deferring toi Quarkus.

[melloware]

I was able to reproducer your bug here: https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-primefaces/actions/runs/11501165271/job/32013126752 I just added Reactive Routes and got the issue!

[melloware]

@redddcyclone i opened this MYFACES ticket to get it fixed: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4687

[melloware]

PR submitted that fixes this: apache/myfaces#773

[redddcyclone]

Great, thanks a lot for fixing this bug! Should I close this issue or leave it open for the time being?

[melloware]

lets leave this open for others to see until the next MyFaces releases comes out and then I will update this ticket.
