Apache Felix + Pax Web + Primefaces: ClassNotFoundException FacesServlet

Question

I am trying to deploy a simple primefaces (4.0) testapplicationon on the felix framework (4.2.1) with pax web (3.0.5). But I always get an ClassNotFoundException FacesServlet (and ConfigureListener). Although I have the right jar files in WEB-INF/lib and wrote them in Bundle-ClassPath too. So, please help me.

Manifest:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: testprime2
Bundle-SymbolicName: testprime2
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0.qualifier
Import-Package: javax.servlet, javax.servlet.http
Bundle-ClassPath: WEB_INF/classes, lib/jstl-1.2.jar, lib/primefaces-4.0.jar, lib/javax.faces.jar
Web-ContextPath: /testprime2
Webapp-Context: /testprime2

web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" version="3.0">

  </context-param>

  <listener>

</web-app>

Error Output:

Answer 1

I'm not sure that actually packaging those jsf bundles within the bundle is a good idea. Try to seperate those from the war, especially the lib/jstl-1.2.jar. As those packages needed should already be provided by Pax Web.
