JSF - nice theory, shame it doesn't float

(for me anyway.....)

Just been trying my hand at JSF and am quite surprised at the difficulty I'm having in even getting the simplest sample app to run.

I've spent 2 days reading through dozens of posted threads about

'Cant find FacesContext' error. None of the solutions work for me - I cannot get rid of the error, but I just cannot waste anymore time on this nonsense..

Some of these threads date back 3 years and I'm a bit surprised that there has been no changes to the exception that allow for a more acurate indication of why the error was thrown.

A poor showing by JSF to be sure.

It is a shame JSF does not float for you, because JSF is a very nice framework. I would recommend for anyone who is trying to learn JSF to use the many resources available to the community. For instance, a book like Core JavaServer Faces is an invaluable tool. The first Chapter of this book shows step by step how to get the first JSF app up and running.

One also have to be realistic at expectations... There is a lot of ground to cover to be comfortable with app building with JSF. Need to understand Web server technology, JSP, JSF, Java, JDBC, XML, etc... Won't happen overnight.

Well finally found what the problem was - it was my JBoss libs after all.so I take that back about JSF not being able to float, but I stick by what I said about the exception could be much more descriptive.
