Implicit expression language object "component" not working in jsf 2.2.6

I'm migrating a jsf 2.0 application to jsf 2.2.6. There is a extensive use of implicit EL object component as styleClass="#{component.valid?'':'err'}".

In jsf 2.2.6 (jsf-impl-2.2.6-jbossorg-4.jar) valid is not recognized, throwing "ServletException: The class 'javax.faces.component.html.xxx' does not have the property 'valid".

Is this functionality deprecated in jsf 2.x.x?

Can be related to JBoss EL?

Finally found the reason of the exception. The problem was that I had a comment in the code containing "component.valid". Removing the comment resolves the problem.

<!-- styleClass="#{component.valid ? '': 'err' }" -->

It's tricky. The exception was not clear about the line of code.

It seems that you trying the component.valid on element that does not support it at all, for example the h:panelGroup does not have the isValid getter , while h:inputText does.

A workaround could be to abuse the validation status of another element in your page in order to apply the styleClass of another, see example:

<h:panelGroup styleClass="#{myComponent.valid ? '' : 'error'}">
    <h:inputText id="input" value="#{myBean.myValue}" binding="#{myComponent}">
    </h:inputText>
</h:panelGroup >
