[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-704?page=comments#action_12332413 ]
Simon Kitching commented on MYFACES-704: ---------------------------------------- Perhaps the wording could be " - make sure that you properly include all configuration settings necessary for a basic faces configuration, and check the logging output for any exceptions"? An exception on initialisation was my problem - a colleague insisting that StartupServletContextListener was needed in the web.xml because the error message was telling him so. I told him that with 1.1.0 that wasn't needed but couldn't convince him. Eventually an exception was found in the container log files re a missing library that was causing faces initialisation to fail. > Misleading error message: "a context listener is not setup in your web.xml" > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MYFACES-704 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-704 > Project: MyFaces > Type: Bug > Versions: 1.1.1 > Reporter: Simon Kitching > Assignee: Martin Marinschek > Priority: Minor > Fix For: Nightly > > Prior to 1.1.0 it was necessary to specify a custom context listener in the > web.xml file to enable JSF. > Since 1.10 this has been defined automatically. > However class "javax/faces/FactoryFinder.java" still outputs this message > whenever anything goes wrong with MyFaces initialisation: > No Factories configured for this Application - typically this is because a > context listener is not setup in your web.xml. > A typical config looks like this; > <listener> > > <listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class> > </listener> > I think this message is now misleading; no such entry is needed in the > web.xml file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
