JSF on Glassfish 3.1.2.2: managed beans not resolved

Hi,

My JSF application works on JBoss 7.1.1.
I tried on Glassfish 3.1.2.2(newest), all managed beans are not recognized.
The same version of Mojarra 2.1.7 is used in both cases.

Facelet page:
<f:view locale="#{viewBean.locale}"> 
<f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{viewBean.preRenderView}" />
....
</f:view>


From debugging, all managed beans with @ManagedBean annotation are not built. So all managed beans are resolved to null.

@ManagedBean(name="viewBean")
@ViewScoped
public class ViewBean  {
....
}
It works on JBoss 7.

Anyone uses Grassfish 3 with Mojarra 2.1.7? I replaced the jsf impl with javax.faces.2.1.17, no luck, same error.

Thanks for any help.
