Hi,

I am trying to add the following constraint in the jsf-api.jar :

Export-Package: javax.faces.*;version=2.0,\
com.sun.faces.application.view.StateHolderSaver;version=2.0;password="com.sun.faces.application.view";mandatory:=password

My jsf-impl.jar has the following :

Import-Package:
......
com.sun.faces.application.view.StateHolderSaver;version=2.0;password="com.sun.faces.application.view", \
......

Now when I drop these 2 jars in the v3.1 workspace and try to start the server, I see the following error message in server.log :

[#|2010-10-25T16:12:04.901-0700|SEVERE|glassfish3.1|null|_ThreadID=16;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|Caused by: org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unresolved constraint in bundle org.glassfish.web.weld-integration [20]: Unable to resolve 20.0: missing requirement [20.0] package; (&(package=com.sun.faces.spi)(version>=2.0.0)) [caused by: Unable to resolve 50.0: missing requirement [50.0] package; (&(package=com.sun.faces.application.view.StateHolderSaver)(password=com.sun.faces.application.view)(version>=2.0.0))]|#]

I checked the Manifest.MF of weld-integration.jar. It has an Import-Package attr specifying "com.sun.faces.spi" as one of them. As you can see above, the mandatory-directive is only for com.sun.faces.application.view.StateHolderSaver. Then what am I missing here?

Does weld-integration.jar's Manifest.MF somehow need the mandatory-directive to be specified? And why?

Thanks
