I am also using the beans.xml file.

I am try to find the solution but not get a suitable solution. I am using Payara6 server for running this website.

Why are you using JSF 2.2 with Payara 6? Payara 6 is a Jakarta EE 10 server (bundled with JSF 4). — Jasper de Vries, Jun 01 '23 at 07:55
Does this answer your question? [Identifying and solving javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30128395/identifying-and-solving-javax-el-propertynotfoundexception-target-unreachable) — Jasper de Vries, Jun 01 '23 at 07:56
This is genuinely confusing. Payara 6 provides Faces 4.0. Your faces-config.xml says JSF 2.3. You think that you're using JSF 2.2. What is this? If you want to use JSF 2.2 then you should be using Payara 4. If you want to use JSF 2.3 then you should be using Payara 5. If you want to use Faces 4.0 then you should be using Payara 6. No need to manually put JARs into WEB-INF/lib of WAR. Payara is a normal JEE server not a servletcontainer like Tomcat. — BalusC, Jun 01 '23 at 11:36
This is perhaps the real answer to your question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8081234/how-to-properly-install-and-configure-jsf-libraries-via-maven — BalusC, Jun 01 '23 at 11:38
