I'm a java developer and I'm working on a java based web application project.
We're using tomcat 7.0.40 application server.
Since I migrated the application to support jsr299 provided by jboss-weld 1.1.10.Final, I'm having troubles with the application deployment on tomcat.
Due to security-reasons, I do not explode the deployed WARs on production servers. In pre-production tests, I noticed I get exceptions because of unpackWARs=false in server.xml.
I get the same exception, if I change this property to unpackWARs=false on my local server. Otherwise (with unpackWARs=true in both, local and preproduction server), the application works.
Here is what the exception looks like:
com.sun.faces.lifecycle.ProcessValidationsPhase execute
WARNING: /usersearch.xhtml @40,123 value="#{userSearch.valuebean.userID}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'userSearch' resolved to null

Frameworks, I'm using:
- Tomcat 7.0.40 (No Java-EE stack)
- JBoss-Weld: org.jboss.weld.servlet 1.1.10.Final
- Apache Myfaces CODI Extensions: org.apache.myfaces.extensions.cdi.core and jsf-module, v1.0.3
- JSF impl. Mojarra v2.1.7
- JSF Richfaces component library, v4.3.0.Final
Target Unreachable, identifier resolved to null-exceptions often occurs, if there are some misspellings in the JSF Unified-EL to access bean properties, or the beans.xml is misplaced. But non of them apply to me, because of the applications works with unpackWARs=true.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matters. With kind regards, abertschi
