Didn't you provide the solution in your post?

Welcome to the JavaRanch, Swapnil!

You didn't mention which version of WebSphere you are running. As a Full-stack JEE implementation, recent versions of WAS (since about version 6, which should be End-of-Life by now) contain the JSF implementation jar as part of WebSphere itself. You do need the corresponding jsf-api jar in your WAR or EAR, though.

In Enterprise Java, the term "classpath" is ambiguous. Depending on whether you're looking at the base JVM, a WAR, or one of several other places, the classpath will be different.

Hey Tim,

Thank you for the response!

I was able to resolve the above problem , it was one of the custom class in the websphere8.5 classpath rather I will say class loader which was referring the sun class DefualtResourceResolver.

I would be closing the issue.

Cheers!!!
