  1. POHow to properly install and configure JSF libraries via Maven?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to deploy a JSF based application to Tomcat 6. The way my build system is setup, the WAR itself doesn't have any libraries in it, because this server is serving a total of 43 apps. Instead, the libraries are copied into a shared library folder and shared among the apps. When I deploy, I get this error</p> <pre><code>SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor SSOAdmin.xml java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/faces/webapp/FacesServlet at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClassCond(ClassLoader.java:631) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:615) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:141) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:283) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$000(URLClassLoader.java:58) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:197) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1667) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1526) at org.apache.catalina.startup.WebAnnotationSet.loadApplicationServletAnnotations(WebAnnotationSet.java:108) at org.apache.catalina.startup.WebAnnotationSet.loadApplicationAnnotations(WebAnnotationSet.java:58) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.applicationAnnotationsConfig(ContextConfig.java:297) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.start(ContextConfig.java:1078) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.lifecycleEvent(ContextConfig.java:261) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:142) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4611) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:799) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:779) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:601) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor(HostConfig.java:675) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptors(HostConfig.java:601) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps(HostConfig.java:502) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.start(HostConfig.java:1315) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.lifecycleEvent(HostConfig.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:142) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1061) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:840) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1053) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:463) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:525) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:754) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:595) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:289) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:414) </code></pre> <p>Now in my research, I see that this is supposed to be solved by downloading the JSF source code and compiling it myself. That is a horrible solution in my case. That will cause huge problems on my team with the various configurations we have to contend with. Is there another fix for this?</p> <p>Here is my <code>pom.xml</code>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"&gt;

I can't for a second believe that the Maven distributable for JSF is only good for compiling and not good for deployment.</p>
