[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-630?page=comments#action_12331359 ]
Thomas Timbul commented on MYFACES-630: --------------------------------------- Please note that if only the api jar is placed in the container, the problem does not occur, but it means that myfaces-impl.jar has to be in every webapp that needs it (useless duplication) You can easily reproduce this yourself by installing a fresh container (or emptying an existing one) and dump to stdout. I use Resin 3.0.14, so the log is as below. Note that the ROOT context it is trying to load is empty and only contains an index.jsp. All subsequent contexts fail to complete initialisation. Both myfaces-api and myfaces-impl jars are in container classpath.
