Summary

  • Add ChangeDependency rules for com.sun.faces:jsf-api and com.sun.faces:jsf-impl (Mojarra) to the Faces2xMigrationToJakartaFaces3x recipe chain
  • Add ChangeDependency rule for org.glassfish:javax.faces to the same chain
  • Add UpgradeDependencyVersion for org.glassfish:jakarta.faces in the Faces 4.x migration
  • Add test coverage for all three dependency migration paths

Context

Customers migrating JSF 2.x applications to Spring 6 encounter a ClassCastException at runtime:

java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver
cannot be cast to class javax.el.ELResolver

This happens because Spring 6 uses Jakarta EE (jakarta.el.ELResolver), but the JSF runtime stays on javax.el when using Mojarra (com.sun.faces) or Glassfish (org.glassfish:javax.faces) artifacts — these were not covered by the existing UpdateJakartaFacesApi3 recipe which only handled javax.faces:javax.faces-api.

  • Fixes moderneinc/customer-requests#2160

Test plan

  • UpdateJakartaFacesApiTest.Faces3.migrateSunFacesJsfApi — verifies com.sun.faces:jsf-apijakarta.faces:jakarta.faces-api:3.0.x
  • UpdateJakartaFacesApiTest.Faces3.migrateSunFacesJsfImpl — verifies com.sun.faces:jsf-implorg.glassfish:jakarta.faces:3.0.x
  • UpdateJakartaFacesApiTest.Faces3.migrateGlassfishJavaxFaces — verifies org.glassfish:javax.facesorg.glassfish:jakarta.faces:3.0.x
  • UpdateJakartaFacesApiTest.Faces4.upgradeGlassfishJakartaFaces — verifies org.glassfish:jakarta.faces upgrade to 4.0.x

…arta Faces

The JSF 2.x to Jakarta Faces migration recipes only handled javax.faces:javax.faces-api,
missing the widely-used Mojarra (com.sun.faces:jsf-api, com.sun.faces:jsf-impl) and
Glassfish (org.glassfish:javax.faces) artifacts. This caused ClassCastException at runtime
when upgrading to Spring 6 because the JSF runtime stayed on javax.el while Spring 6
uses jakarta.el.

Adds ChangeDependency rules for com.sun.faces and org.glassfish:javax.faces in the
Faces 3.x migration, and UpgradeDependencyVersion for org.glassfish:jakarta.faces in
the Faces 4.x migration.

Fixes moderneinc/customer-requests#2160
