Hi all,

I am using the Eclipse Java EE IDE for web developers, Indigo version. I've created a JSF 2.0 project following the tutorial "JSF Tools tutorial - Build a JSF 2.0 application" that comes with eclipse. When I press "right click" -> "Run As ..." -> "Run on Server" on the sample xhtml page, I got an error on the server output console:

Apr 2, 2012 1:02:59 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke

I am aware that Tomcat 6 does not contain the libraries needed for JSF 2.0, but I thought that telling Eclipse to include those libraries with the application would be enough. A weird thing is that, when exporting the app to a war file, the JSF 2.0 libraries are in fact included in the /WEB_INF/lib directory, but I am not able to run the app within the IDE.

As a "workaround", I installed the libraries directly on my Tomcat 6 installation, but there is no place in the documentation that says this is necessary.

Does anyone knows what should I do to solve this?

Thanks in advance

Are you also including JSTL 1.2 in your web app? It's a JSTL library that can't be located, according to your stacktrace. JSF requires JSTL.

You can locate JSTL on the web at several locations, including http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/libraries/jstl-1.2.zip.
