The double-polarization observable $$E$$ was studied for the reaction $$\gamma p\to p\omega$$ using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility and the longitudinally-polarized frozen-spin target (FROST). The observable was measured from the charged decay mode of the meson, $$\omega\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$$, using a circularly-polarized tagged-photon beam with energies ranging from the $$\omega$$ threshold at 1.1 to 2.3 GeV. A partial-wave analysis within the Bonn-Gatchina framework found dominant contributions from the $3/2^+$ partial wave near threshold, which is identified with the sub-threshold $$N(1720)\,3/2^+$$ nucleon resonance. To describe the entire data set, which consisted of $$\omega$$ differential cross sections and a large variety of polarization observables, further contributions from other nucleon resonances were found to be necessary. Here, with respect to non-resonant mechanisms, $$\pi$$ exchange in the $$t$$-channel was found to remain small across the analyzed energy range, while pomeron $$t$$-channel exchange gradually grew from the reaction threshold to dominate all other contributions above $$W \approx 2$$ GeV.
