This was probably a question better asked in the WebLogic forum. Most purely JSF people won't have a clue.
JSF works in conjunction with EL. The default EL variable resolver, however, only knows how to resolve a limited set of objects. Primarily the JSF managed beans. So to add objects from outside the JSF universe to the set of objects that can be resolved, you have to chain in a resolver suitable for that external set of objects. For example, I'm using Spring for my persistence layer, so I added an Spring EL Resolver definition to faces-config.xml:
