IllegalAccesError in ConfigureListener

[pinky suresh]

Hi,
I am leaning JSF.I created a simple dynamic web project using JSF in eclipse and using Tomcat5.5 as app server. After deploying the project, when tomcat is started i am getting IllegalAccessError.Below is the stacktrace.

I am having the following jar files under WEB-INF/lib of my project
jsf-impl.jar
jsf-api.jar
jstl.jar
standard.jar
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-digester.jar

Request you to kindly let me know if i have missed any thing/jar files needed for sucessful operation.

Please let me know your suggestions.

Welcome to JavaRanch

This can be due to a problem with the listener configured in your web.xml. Or it can a incompatibility issue with the SUN RI version you have.

hi...
Thanks for the reply..

I have commented the listener code in web.xml.Still i am getting the same error.Let me know what could be issue.

Also let me know about the second about sun RI used...

I'd ensure that there are no other instances of jsf-impl within the tomcat installation (i.e. server/lib or common/lib).

Hi,

The illegalAccessError for ConfigureListener was resolved
and problem was due to presence of jstl-impl.jar file in server/lib as well as commons/lib.

But now i am getting the following exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax.servlet.ServletRequest

Sorry for previous incomplete reply...

I have servlet-api.jar in commons/lib and still i am getting the NoClassDefFoundError for ServletRequest.

Please let me know what i am missing.

Might try following up with the tomcat folks. Something seems wrong with your installation now.

Try changing the class loading policy of the application on the Tomcat server.
