Had the same problem. You probably used NetBeans to auto add this dependency with default 'compile' scope and it broke tomcat:

   <dependency>
        <groupId>javax</groupId>
        <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
        <version>6.0</version>
    </dependency>

Use provided scope like here https://stackoverflow.com/a/10156854/1051834 If it does not help install a fresh tomcat and redeploy your project once again.

Thanks, but why does this happen?

Mital Pritmani Over a year ago

@KorayTugay: javaee-api jar needs jsf jars so if you add javaee-api jar in your project, you have to add jsf jar also. Thus, either adding jsf jars or removing javaee-api jar at run time (giving provided scope) will solve this problem. "Provided" scope in maven means you need the JAR for compiling, but at run time there is already a JAR provided by the environment so you don't need it packaged with your app so it won't be copied in lib folder.

<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.1.6</version>

is worked for me, you can change version as it release new versions.

The jsf-implementation library is missing in your application (it should be in WEB-INF\lib\ directory of application). If you are starting application from Netbeans, this library (jsf-impl.jar?) is configured in classpath of Netbeans project, so there was no error.

But I am not using any JSF in my application

tomi Over a year ago

Do you have others applications deployed on Tomcat?

Himanshu Saraswat Over a year ago

Its working fine now. I uninstalled NetBeans with Tomcat and made a fresh project. But still i do not know what exactly was the reason behind the error

I tried creating a completely new maven project using struts2+hibernate, but still getting this error.
