The listener is NOT in web.xml, it's located within MyFaces' TLD, which is his problem. I don't remember which versions of Tomcat and MyFaces it was, but Tomcat was not executing the listener and I had to declare the listener in web.xml as suggested in the exception's message which is the correct way to fix it.

I cannot imagine tomcat5.5 not executing a servlet-listener registered in its web.xml file... It sure looks like you haven't followed the instructions in the error message about defining StartupServletContextListener. Maybe you have the block present in your web.xml but it is commented out or something?
