Java Weld null expressionFactory

Question

I use JBoss AS 7.1.1 + CDI (Weld) + JSF + Intellij IDEA. I created project and downloaded files:

1. jsf-api.jar
2. jsf-impl.jar
3. jstl-1.1.0.jar
4. weld-servlet.jar

And everything is ok, until I start using Weld (create beans.xml and rename ManagedBeans to Named). After this, artifact stops deploying with error:

"CONFIGURATION FAILED! WELD-001001 Cannot pass null expressionFactory".

Where is a mistake? Maybe there is incompatibility of technologies versions? I have downloaded files with IDE Idea.

EDIT:

Answer 1

Of you're in using a container that certifies web profile or full profile (JBoss AS7 is both) you don't include any CDI, JSF, or jstl (I have no idea why you'd need that though, JSF 2 uses facelets by default) in your war, they're already provided for you by the container.

In short, don't bundle any spec jars, or spec implementation jars in your war unless you're using jetty or plain tomcat.
