Greetings
I just joined this list tonight, as I have only started messing around
witth Java Server Faces and Tomcat.
I am working through some tutorials very slowly and I seem to be able to
work the JSP side of things
fairly well, but I cannot get Java Server Faces to work at all. I will skip
the tortuous details of how I got
to this point and simply say that I get the following error when I try to
add the StartupServletContextListener
to the web.xml file
Dec 7, 2005 4:48:43 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Dec 7, 2005 4:48:43 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/samples] startup failed due to previous errors
Relevant info:
Apache/Tomcat version 5.5.12
MyFaces 1.1.1

As I point out above, starting Tomcat works until I add the <listener>
node. Without it, or so I gather from
googling this all day, the faces page won't work, but the server starts up
at least.
So, what exactly am I missing? (I hope this is enough info)
Thanks
Jeff
