Hello,
We use embedded Tomcat with MyFaces, and I'm having trouble getting
them to run properly with Maven. Tomcat itself is working fine, its
just the Myfaces thats causing trouble, and I'm pretty sure it is
classpath related, I'm just not sure how to diagnose it. In short, the
error we get is:
javax.faces.FacesException: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsf/html
cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with
this application
We don't see this error with our ant build system however (exactly the
same code, web.xml files, etc), which leads me to suspect Maven's
classpath shenanigans.
Any help would be appreciated, details are below....

I have the following dependencies in our pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
<artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId>
<version>1.1.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
<artifactId>myfaces-impl</artifactId>
<version>1.1.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.tomahawk</groupId>
<artifactId>tomahawk</artifactId>
<version>1.1.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>taglibs</groupId>
<artifactId>standard</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
</dependency>
And in an effort to make sure Tomcat was using the right classpath, I
set it explicitly when we start tomcat:
// Create a class loader from our own classpath
Loader classLoader =
initTomcat.createLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader());
classLoader.setDelegate(true);
Engine baseEngine = initTomcat.createEngine();
baseEngine.setName(TOMCAT_ENGINE_NAME);
baseEngine.setDefaultHost(TOMCAT_HOST);
baseEngine.setParentClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader());
// Create Host
Host baseHost = initTomcat.createHost(TOMCAT_HOST, "");
// add host to Engine
baseEngine.addChild(baseHost);
Context rootCtx = initTomcat.createContext("/", "webapp");
rootCtx.setPrivileged(true);
rootCtx.setLoader(classLoader);
baseHost.addChild(rootCtx);
PersistentManager manager = new PersistentManager();
manager.setSaveOnRestart(false);
rootCtx.setManager(manager);
But I see the following when I try and load a .jsf file:
javax.faces.FacesException: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsf/html
cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with
this application
