Servlet.init() for servlet Faces Servlet exception

[Helmut <zu...@utanet.at>]

Hy all,

after searching and trying for some hours around and not finding an answer I
now send the question to the list.

I am using tomcat 4.1.31 under debian with J2SE 1.4 with MyFaces 1.0.9 and
try to deploy an application which I developed with J2SE 1.5/eclipse 3.1/WTP
R0.7/Tomcat 5.5.9 and works well in this environment. A none-JSF application
works well with the debian machine.However after deploying the MyFaces
application to the debian machine I got an "exception:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet Faces Servlet
threw" exception.

Because of that problem I went back and tried to deploy the
myfaces-examples.

I added jsp-2.0.jar and the jsp-api.jar to the /WEB-INF/lib for deploying.
After restarting tomcat I got the exception trace below (Exception Trace 1).

Since just MyFaces 1.1.0 was published I tried also to deploy the simple.war
to the container (again with adding jsp-2.0.jar and the jsp-api.jar). After
restarting and trying to show /simple/index.jsp in a browser I got the
following exception trace (Exception Trace 2).

As far as I unterstand FacesContext gets somehow not initialized but I can't
find the reason.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong or what else I can try?
Is there a way to switch on a "debug mode" for MyFaces which results in a
more extensive output?

Much thanks for help in advance,
Helmut
