FacesContext error and Tomcat
Out of interest to other users, I posted this thread in the Sun Java System Portal Server 6: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5182884&tstart=0
Seeing that I am getting a FacesContext error, and as I'm not sure that the previous forum was the correct area to voice my problem, I resorted to this forum. I do apologize if I have inonvenienced anyone. Again, if this is not the correct forum, please direct me to such. Thanks1
I have given my administrator the WAR file of my portlet which I developed and had him deploy it to Tomcat 5.5.17. However, when I tried to access the portlet, I got a javax.servlet.jsp.JspException, stating it cannot find FacesContext.
What can I do to resolve this error?
I tried accessing the portlet using the following syntax:
http://www3.servername:[port#]/username/PortletWelcomePage.jsp *
Is this the correct way? The point up to username/ is the URL my administrator said I should use. Is it correct to specify the portlet's initial page (using the.jsp extension) to activate the portlet?
I am using JDBC in my portlet, if that info is in any way needed.
Kind regards,
Reformer...

Forgive me, but although I am developing a grid portal using WS, and should be familarized with many technical details, I don't know what to make of what you advise. Don't get me wrong! I'm not lashing out at you, just asking you to explain in simpler terms exactly what it is I should do.
Thanks for the quick responses, and will be rewarding the appropriate adviser in due time.

Should I do that before/after I create/hve created the WAR file? Remember also, i don't have direct access to the server and have to go through an administrator, who is not familiar with using Grid Portals or portlets, but oversees Tomcat (v5.5.17), the server i am hoping to run the app on.
Just letting you know should in case...
Kind regards

Do you that in your WAR file configuration. You need to find a basic tutorial on JSF and take a look.

I think what Balus means is that you should include some code like below to your web.xml in your faces application. Then navigate to your files with a .jsf extension instead of a .jsp one so that the faces servlet will handle it.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

As my code is nowhere near me, I'll attend to it later and respond with my comments and hopefully appropriate the points accordingly.

PS In the emantime, does anyone know how to reward points to multiple posters?
