JSF managed bean in Maven project: Target Unreachable, identifier 'bean' resolved to null - maven

Target unreachable error is coming, somehow my bean is not initializing and the value of the bean is coming null. My helloBean reference is coming null.

You placed the Java source file of the backing bean in src/main/resources instead of in src/main/java. So the Java source file won't be compiled into a .class file in /WEB-INF/lib during the build of the WAR file.
Fix your wrong Maven project structure. I think the red cross on the project icon is also hinting to the problem in the project structure.
See also:
Identifying and solving javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable
Maven - Standard Directory Layout
Unrelated to the concrete problem: your pom shouldn't let the webapp provide libraries which are already provided by the target server itself, such as JSP, Servlet and EL in case of Tomcat. And, that JSF impl version is ancient.

JSF-2.3 not finding my #Named CDI-1.2 managed bean

Having recently upgraded to JSF 2.3 from 2.2, I noticed that #ManagedBean was deprecated, and after some research found that I should be using CDI-1.2 managed beans and the #Named annotation.
However after changing over to #Named, the JSF pages can't find the managed bean:
javax.servlet.ServletException: /index.xhtml #38,38 value="#{controller.telstraPass}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'controller' resolved to null
I am using Maven, eclipse and WebSphere Application Server liberty v16.0.0.4
No Idea what I am doing wrong, here are the relevant files:

private String telstraPass;
private String termineesPass;

private FileHandler fileHandler = new FileHandler();
private IBMEmployee[] potentialMatches;
public String perform()
{
try {
fileHandler.process(telstraCustomersFile, terminateesFile, telstraPass, termineesPass);
potentialMatches = fileHandler.potentialMatches;
}
catch (Exception ex) {
StringWriter errors = new StringWriter();
ex.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(errors));
exception = ex.toString();
exceptionTrace = errors.toString();
return ("errorPage.xhtml");
}
return ("searchExcel.xhtml");
}
public void setTelstraPass(String value) { telstraPass = value; }
public String getTelstraPass() { return telstraPass; }
public void setTermineesPass(String value) { termineesPass = value; }
public String getTermineesPass() { return termineesPass; }
public void setTelstraCustomersFile(Part file) { telstraCustomersFile = file; }
public Part getTelstraCustomersFile() { return telstraCustomersFile; }
public void setTerminateesFile(Part file) { terminateesFile = file; }
public Part getTerminateesFile() { return terminateesFile; }
public String getException() { return exception; }
public String getExceptionTrace() { return exceptionTrace; }
public IBMEmployee[] getExactMatches() { return fileHandler.exactMatches; }

I also have an empty beans.xml file in my WEB-INF folder with my web.xml and faces-config.xml.
As far as I can see I have done everything right, I have no competing implementations of JSF or CDI, and am not using any of the scopes from the JSF packages. I have absolutely no idea why this is not working...

As Gas pointed out, the issue was that the inbuilt CDI feature in WAS does not work with an external JSF library.
See my post on IBM support page which confirms this.
A way to still make use of web sockets using JSF-2.2 is to use the Javax.websocket package as #Gas pointed out. However the limitation of this web socket implementation is that it is nowhere near as easy to send data contained in a SessionScoped ManagedBean to the client of that session only as it would have been using f:websocket from JSF-2.3 as I would have liked to do.

I get a 404 error when trying to access a .jsp file under my WEB-INF directory and I can't figure out why

I've looked at every post I could find on the this issue but every time I do it seems like my configurations are as they should be.
When I type in the URL http:/localhost:8080/ I get the correct index.jsp displayed, but when I type in http:/localhost:8080/account I get the 404 error.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You have added #RequestMapping("/account")
public class AccountController {
above your controller class, Therefore your controller will only map requests with /accounts header only,
As you have added #RequestMapping(value = "/account", method = RequestMethod.GET) in your method also, the controller will be looking for a accounts/accounts/ requests to execute the particular method.
Try http:/localhost:8080/account/account
or remove the class level request mapping.

JSP EL not finding requestScope variable?

So, I'm trying to learn some Spring MVC and the first tutorial I try has a model.addAttribute("printme", "From spring"); and in the JSP a ${printme}.
My controller is simple:
#RequestMapping(value = "index", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index(Model modelMap) {
System.out.println("on method");
modelMap.addAttribute("printme", "Hello Spring FROM INDEX !!");
return "index";
}
When I run the code it doesn't work, so I started adding to the JSP.
I wound up with this in the body:
<h1>
${param.printme}
<br />
${printme}
<br />
${requestScope.printme}
<br />
<%=request.getParameter("printme")%>
<br />
<%=request.getAttribute("printme")%>
<br />
<%=pageContext.findAttribute("printme")%>
</h1>
and my output source looks like this:
<h1>
<br />
<br />
Hello Spring FROM INDEX !!
<br />
null
<br />
Hello Spring FROM INDEX !!
<br />
Hello Spring FROM INDEX !!
</h1>
I expected param.printme to me empty string, as well as null from request.getParameter().
Shouldn't ${printme} search requestScope and find it?
Shouldn't ${printme} be the same as
${requestScope.printme}
<%=requestScope.getAttribute("printme")%>, and
<%=pageContext.findAttribute("printme")%>?
What's going on here, why isn't ${printme} finding the attribute?
I know I can just keep using ${requestScope.printme}, but it's more verbose, and I want to know why it's acting the way it is.
In case it matters I'm using Tomcat7.0.52, Spring 4.0 xsds, and java ee 3.0 xsds.

I have the following simple project:

just fine..
Please compare your project with this one, provide additional code and ask further if required.

It looks to me like you don't have jstl referenced in the top of your jsp files. The dollar sign is jstl shorthand. Make sure you have the following in the top of your jsp files.
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>

I have tried all possible combination to import BeanLocation.xml but in vain.
I help me to find my mistake, I gone through various post in stackoverflow to integrate different applicationContext but I am unable to fix this problem. I am also attaching some of the screen shots of my project.

Make sure you have BeanLocations.xml file under src/main/resources/spring/config folder of your project, and edit the import resource tag as:
<import resource="classpath*:/spring/config/BeanLocations.xml"/>
or else if it is in same folder where your applicationContext file, then edit the import tag as follows:
<import resource="BeanLocations.xml"/>
