I am facing problems while starting my application in the WAS Console. The application is a simple Hello World JSF servlet.

I’m using Websphere Application server version 7.0.0.9.

JSF 1.2 with facelets 1.1.14

When I try to start the application, I get the below error in the logs. Any idea how to fix this?

    I too ran into same issue, and as I think I got answer to it as well…

    It seems that when your server is already started without JSF(1.2) application on WPS 7.0, it doesnt load the SUN-JSF classes in the class-loader.

    So, if you just deploy your application of portlet using JSF 1.2 it wont start working and fails to find the class as that class should be loaded by server bootstrap.

    Now, when you have that application deployed and you restart the server, it upon initializing the JSF1.2 application, also loads the required SUN-JSF libraries. And hence when you click on the portlet it loads the portlet.

    So, basically you need to restart the server once you deploy your portlet. But this should be only for first JSF 1.2 application.

    Hope this helps.
