How do JSPs work with Pax Web?

Standard JSPs are handled by Pax Web through a specialized Servlet that does use the Jasper compiler with a extra class loader. This class loader takes the current bundle (the war) and its containing jars into account for compiling the JSP files. Tag libs are searched within this war and it's containing jars. With version 1.1.0 the bundles which are imported by the war are also taken into the class loader for searching the right TLD files.

How do JSF work with Pax Web?

Since version 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 JSF is supported by Pax Web.

Standard war files should work out of the box since Pax Url - 1.3.0 does optionally import the exported packages of Pax Web.

For Web Application Bundles - war archives with Manifest - it is required not only to import the javax.el package but also the implementation of it which is com.sun.el.*
