Hi Downloaded and tested Tomcat 5.5.23 today with Java5, and it still has the errors that where introduced post 5.5.17, meaning that you get the following error during startup:
[16 2007-03-13 18:52:23,062](org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost]. [/claycomp])**ERROR**{org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.log:676} User: ->StandardWrapper.Throwable java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Factories configured for this Application. This happens if the faces-initialization does not work at all - make sure that you properly include all configuration settings necessary for a basic faces application and that all the necessary libs are included. Also check the logging output of your web application and your container for any exceptions! If you did that and find nothing, the mistake might be due to the fact that you use some special web-containers which do not support registering context-listeners via TLD files and a context listener is not setup in your web.xml. A typical config looks like this; <listener> <listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</lis tener-class> </listener> at javax.faces.FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.java:90) <snip/> Looks like it is not registering the listeners in the jar files anymore after 5.5.17. Has anybody heard anything about this (Apart from my previous rant)? Hermod
