JSF - call method with parameter (tomcat6)

Question

I'm trying to run my project (normally working on tomcat7) on tomcat6. But JSF can't call methods with parameters now, e.g.

<h:commandLink action="#{bean.setpage('index')}"/>

It works normally on Tomcat7..

Is it possible to call method with parameter on tomcat6?

UPDATE: both answers bellow are correct, and i also had to update context.xml:

<context-param>
    <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.EXPRESSION_FACTORY</param-name>
    <param-value>com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
    <param-name>com.sun.faces.expressionFactory</param-name>
    <param-value>com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl</param-value>
</context-param>

If you are using a container which supports JSF 2.0 completely, you can directly do

<h:commandLink action="#{bean.setpage('index')}"/>.

Else you have to use f:param or f:attribute. I think Tomcat 7 supports jsf 2 completely but Tomcat 6 does not support out of the box. So you have to add jstl-api-1.2.jar, jstl-impl-1.2.jar and el-impl-2.2.jar libraries to make it work on Tomcat 6.

@gaffcz If you add the JSTL 1.2 libary and el-impl-2.2.jar to the WEB-INF/lib and it should work on Tomcat 6 as well.

Thank you. And add those libs to lib of project or to tomcat6/lib directory?

@gaffcz el libraries to tomcat6/lib and jstl1.2 libraries to project lib.

Still doesn't work :(

@gaffcz By the way did you remove the existing el jar file that is already there in Tomcat 6 dist. Anyways, if you have a lot of time you can try and get it working on Tomcat 6, but otherwise I would suggest using one of the methods given here for passing parameters from page to bean mkyong.com/jsf2/…
