Hi I have done extensive testing with various versions of Tomcat, and MyFaces does not work on anything above 5.5.17 running on Java 5 (On 1.4 it works). From what I have seen, I think this may have something todo with locale. I have not had the time yet to debug the startup, but I think that there is an Exception that is not logged that makes the initialization fail.

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? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This email with attachments is solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
