Hi friends!

I am new about JSF, but a followed thi basic tutorial to maka a login application with JSF, but always presents Cannot find FacesContext

I using Tomcat 5 like a example.

Thank for all

I am having the same problem, I followed the tutorial and I am using tomcat 5.5 and it keeps saying cannot find FacesContext. Can anyone help fix this problem we are having?

I have figured out how to solve this issue. Within the web.xml, I have changed the servlet mapping to use /faces/* and I have also included a index.jsp that would forward to faces/userLogin.jsp. Then I recycled Tomcat 5.5 and it works now. Hope this helps.

I’m sorry to have to say this, but…
Has anyone other than newbies (myself included) looked at this issue ?

After trying and failing – twice – to reproduce the JSFLoginDemo in my own environment, I downloaded the project (JSFLoginDemoProject.zip), unzipped it in my workspace and imported as existing project. That worked.

What doesn’t work is the JSFLoginDemo application, once I tried to deploy it under JBoss or Tomcat.
Sure enough, the message is “Cannot find FacesContext” !

Now, I know it can be forced to work in various ways and I know I should know a lot more about the JSP framework before looking at JSF. However, the tutorial not working “out-of the box” is not a good sign.
(… the incident does make me feel less ignorant:-)

It would be … positive if someone could tell me/us what is wrong with the above mentioned procedure…

Thank you,

Daniel

P.S.1. The environment is Eclipse 3.0.1 / MyEclipse 3.8.3
P.S.2. The same thing happened when I tryied the “Hello” micro-application from “JavaServerFaces in Action”

Daniel,

Are you using the correctl URL to access the userLogin page? I used the jsfdemo tutorial and we able to replicate it exactly. I noticed that if you try to go directly to the userLogin.jsp page it give the “Cannot find FacesContext” exception. So be sure you are using the

http://localhost:8080/JSFLoginDemo/userLogin.faces

instead of

http://localhost:8080/JSFLoginDemo/userLogin.jsp

When have a PR in our system for modifiying the tutorial to make this distinction much more clear as many users have had this problem.

RIght,

I stand corrected.
(did I mention “newbies” in my post ?)
Thanks,

Daniel
