This is what I have done:
- Following this post from Lincoln Baxter I downloaded el-api-2.2.jar and el-impl-2.2.jar
- Then created isolated shard library and added them there.
We are using Myfaces so in web.xml added this bit
<context-param> <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.EXPRESSION_FACTORY</param-name> <param-value>com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl</param-value>
</context-param>
This is the issue:
I do not think it getting picked up and application is still using one out the the box apache based.

Update: I tried to use JBoss EL instead and I notice this line
[13/02/12 15:19:06:113 EST] 00000029 ExternalSpeci I MyFaces Unified EL support disabled
in the log and that led me to this code

try block throws exception on both checks when inspecting and during executing as expected goes to catch and that results in a false being returned. I believe due to this it falls back to EL provided by WebSphere and not JBoss EL.
