Further checking, the Sun RI is used in only two files in Seam: ./main/org/jboss/seam/util/EL.java:import com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl; | ./main/org/jboss/seam/util/EL.java:import com.sun.el.lang.VariableMapperImpl; | ./main/org/jboss/seam/jsf/SeamELFunctionMapper.java:import com.sun.el.lang.FunctionMapperImpl; | I think I'm at an impasse here, and will simply remove the @Restricted declarations at this point, and rely on the UI elements to prevent unauthorized use until this can be fixed. This is for an internal use thing with a very small user group at this point, for testing, not real deployment, so that's a reasonable decision for Right Now.
