I'm trying to transfer our server from local linux box to a cloud hosting service. The original server uses Apache Tomcat Version 6.0.24 and Java version 1.6.0_17. The new server uses Apache Tomcat Version 6.0.29 and Java version 1.6.0_22.
All my other webapps work fine, this however is the only one that uses JSF. It was developed about 3 years ago using some silly drag and drop UI and the code is quite ugly to look through. Currently I am also in the process of converting the app to one that doesn't use JSF, and just uses Spring and jsp and if I redirect to those pages that I've converted specifically they work fine. Note that this error doesn't occur on my local machine either. The error that I'm getting is:
Exception Details: org.apache.jasper.el.JspELException /UserMainPage.jsp(25,95) '#{UserMainPage.DIMainPanel1}' Cannot convert #{UserMainPage.DIMainPanel1} of type class java.lang.String to class javax.faces.component.UIComponent

This is the section of the jsp that it's complaining about:
<h:panelGrid binding="#{UserMainPage.DIMainPanel1}" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" columns="2" id="DIMainPanel1" style="height:38px" width="671">
I've exhausted myself over this one. Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
