Kurt, Thanks for your response. I had unzipped the file in the wrong place.
I have followed the instructions in the two links you sent me and have conquered this problem to arrive at another one, which may or may not be related. With the following JSP code <%@ page contentType="text/html" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; prefix="h" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f" %> <f:view> <h:form> From: <h:inputText size="8" /> </h:form> </f:view> I get the following error javax.servlet.ServletException: org/apache/commons/el/ExpressionEvaluatorImpl javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:121) The difference (and source of joy) is that now I am at least getting this in the browser instead of in the startup panel in Tomcat. My web.xml file is still as below and my newly cleaned lib directories are common\lib jasper-compiler-jdt.jar jasper-compiler.jar jasper-runtime.jar jsp-api.jar naming-factory-dbcp.jar naming-factory.jar naming-resources.jar sample_app_1_0_2.jar servlet-api.jar standard.jar sample\WEB-INF\lib commons-beanutils.jar commons-collections.jar commons-digester.jar commons-el.jar commons-logging.jar custom_jsf_lib_1_0_2.jar jstl.jar myfaces-all.jar myfaces-api.jar myfaces-impl.jar struts.jar Is this error still connected to the ServletContext problem from before?

The following links explain how to get started with myfaces (which is just an implementation of JSF): http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Installation_and_Configuration http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Getting_Started Take care, Kurt Quoting "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Greetings > > I just joined this list tonight, as I have only started messing around > witth Java Server Faces and Tomcat. > I am working through some tutorials very slowly and I seem to be able to > work the JSP side of things > fairly well, but I cannot get Java Server Faces to work at all.
