Great.. please update on the group for others benefit as well. I find it
pretty time consuming to build JSF  apps w/o IDE support in case of GAE
apps.
Thankx and Regards

 Vik,
 When doing JSF development with the Google AppEngine and the Eclipse
 plug-in, go ahead and select the Google Web Application project.

 You'll have to manually copy the JSF libraries into the WEB-INF/lib

2009-10-19 Thread Derek Berube 
That is an Apache Xalan error message.  Try putting the xalan.jar,  
xercesImpl.jar xml-apis.jar, xsltc.jar and serializer.jar from 
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/downloads.html 
  into the WEB-INF/lib directory.  That should fix your problem.

I have also created a Google Code project to contain the project that  
was built during the process of documenting the configuration of JSF2  
on GAE: http://code.google.com/p/jsf2gae/

2009-10-19 Thread Derek Berube 
Looks like I need to update the doc.  I've added the Apache Xalan  
libraries into my project and now it works as well - 
http://jsf2template.wildstartech.com/ 
.

Looks to be a difference between the SDK running locally and the  
runtime environment on the server.

I'm going to dig into the error code and look for some bugs, but the  
fix from my previous note should get you going.
