Tomaz Cerar commented on WFLY-4023:
-----------------------------------

Yes, question is what is right fix, given that we are just repacking glassfish's EL impl.
Problem could as well be in upstream and was never found as TCK doesn't cover this scenario.

> ImportHandler is not importing classes in WEB-INF/classes and, thus, developers are unable to import classes into the EL evaluation environment per EL 3.0 spec. section 1.22.2 "Imports of Packages, Classes, and Static Fields"
> Here's the ImportHandler relevant code (https://github.com/jboss/jboss-el-api_spec/blob/master/src/main/java/javax/el/ImportHandler.java#L176)
> private Class<?> getClassFor(String className) {
>     if (!notAClass.contains(className)) {
>         try {
>             return Class.forName(className, false, getClass().getClassLoader());
>         } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
>             notAClass.add(className);
>         }
>     }
>     return null;
> }
