I followed the JSF tutorial and created the login demo application. After configuring the tomcat and deploying the application, I keep getting this error message:
========================================================================

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
javax.faces.FacesException: Faces context not found. getResponseWriter will fail. Check if the FacesServlet has been initialized at all in your web.xml configuration fileand if you are accessing your jsf-pages through the correct mapping. E.g.: if your FacesServlet is mapped to *.jsf (with the <servlet-mapping>-element), you need to access your pages as ‘sample.jsf’. If you tried to access ‘sample.jsp’, you’d get this error-message.

=======================================================================

I did not manually change anything in web.xml, it does have a servlet entry:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

Does anyone know what I am missing?

Thanks,

Vamsi,
What URL are you trying to access your pages with? My guess is that you are trying to load login.jsp or something like that, the error message points out that is wrong. You need to use whatever your url-pattern was… most likely *.faces… so you have to try and load login.faces
