-----------------------------------

             Summary: ELException when using { in string literal
                 Key: WFLY-3350
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3350
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: EE
    Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Final
         Environment: WildFly 8.0.0 Final
            Reporter: Bauke Scholtz
            Assignee: David Lloyd


When using { in string literal in an EL expression in a Facelet like below

{code}

#{'blah blah {0} blah blah'}
{code}

WildFly 8.0.0 Final throws the following EL exception:
{code}
javax.el.ELException: EL Expression Unbalanced: ... #{'blah blah {0} blah blah'}
	at com.sun.faces.facelets.el.ELText.findVarLength(ELText.java:476)
	at com.sun.faces.facelets.el.ELText.parse(ELText.java:396)
	at com.sun.faces.facelets.el.ELText.parse(ELText.java:342)
	at com.sun.faces.facelets.compiler.TextUnit.flushTextBuffer(TextUnit.java:139)
	at com.sun.faces.facelets.compiler.TextUnit.flushBufferToConfig(TextUnit.java:257)
	at com.sun.faces.facelets.compiler.TextUnit.addChild(TextUnit.java:248)
	at com.sun.faces.facelets.compiler.CompilationManager.startUnit(CompilationManager.java:418)
	at com.sun.faces.facelets.compiler.CompilationManager.pushTag(CompilationManager.java:308)
	at com.sun.faces.facelets.compiler.SAXCompiler$CompilationHandler.startElement(SAXCompiler.java:266)
	...
{code}

This EL construct has worked for ages in all other major servers such as JBoss AS, EAP, Tomcat, TomEE, GlassFish, WebSphere/Liberty, Geronimo, etc.

We discovered this problem when testing all pages of OmniFaces Showcase (currently deployed to JBoss EAP 6.3 at OpenShift) on WildFly 8.0.0 Final. The following showcase page http://showcase.omnifaces.org/functions/Strings failed at WildFly with this exception.
