MyFaces 1.1.2 installation, configuration, and setup.
I am attempting to use MyFaces 1.1.2 with Tomcat 5.5.15. I have a few simple
JSF pages up using the Sun JSF RI and a web.xml that works with those.
I have attempted to create a new web.xml, replacing the Sun JSF RI jars out
for the MyFaces jars, but this does not work. The latest examples I can find
are for 1.0.9. I cannot find any links anywhere on the MyFaces site that go
to any 1.1.2 examples. The installation instructions at the Apache website
refer to jars and zips that do not exist in the 1.1.2 implementation. The
WOW Wiki is just as out of date.
Consequently, when I attempt to start the simple web app I get the following
in the Catalina log file:
SEVERE: Context [/sample_jsf] startup failed due to previous errors

already. Could not load org.apache.xerces.impl.dtd.XMLDTDDescription. The
eventual following stack trace is caused by an error thrown for debugging
purposes as well as to attempt to terminate the thread which caused the
illegal access, and has no functional impact.

When reviewing this I note that this is an INFO message and that the webapp
has already fatally errored during startup but nothing is recorded in my
Catalina log files indicating the error.
Here is my web.xml contents:

I have gone back and gotten the RI setup working. My web.xml for that is:

I am new to JSF and the lack of any meaningful error messages has me stumped
as to why this is not installing and starting. Can anyone point me to
1.1.2specific installation hints, tips, etc.? At the current time I
find myself
unable to use 1.1.2. Should I roll back to a previous version? Note that the
error above does not occur with the Sun JSF RI installed and that I can then
at least get to the barebones webapp and begin learning more about JSF
controls in JSPs.
Thanks in advance for any assistance here.

Is the class org/apache/xerces/impl/dtd/XMLDTDDescription in your
classpath somewhere? Maybe your xerces xml parser version is
incompatible with whatever is using it?
