I am trying to deploy my first JSF application in tomcat 5.5 . The directory structure is fine and so are the tag entries in faces-config.xml and web.xml.

But when i try to deploy it in Tomcat it throws an exception.
I tried 3 alternatives as seen in forums but they don't work:

These Alternatives are

1. PLace jstl.jsr in lib folder of tomcat

2. add this entry to the web.xml of application
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>

3. add this entry to the web.xml of application
<listener>
<listener-class>com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener</listener-class>
</listener>


The StackTrace is


message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Rather start your own topic instead of hijacking other's topic.

Paste the entire stacktrace in your new topic and show the minimal contents of the web.xml and faces-config.xml files which still reproduces this problem (maybe you should already have solved the problem while stripping out the web.xml and faces-config.xml from unnecessary stuff ;) ). Good luck.
