I'm trying to put together Core JavaServer Faces'
login example from chapter 1, but I get an HTTP 500 error once I reach
my index.jsp:
exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot find FacesContext
.

root cause
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot find FacesContext
javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentClassicTagBase.getFacesContext(UIComponentClassicTagBase.java:1811)
javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentClassicTagBase.setJspId(UIComponentClassicTagBase.java:1628)
org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspx_meth_f_005fview_005f0(index_jsp.java:94)
I have done the NetBeans tutorial on JSF and it works. Only, I'm trying
to grow the concepts (nitty-gritty JSF) from Geary/Horstmann up to
NetBeans. In NetBeans 6.1, lots of work is done behind the scenes, but
if I grok something at the low level, I don't always know how to relate
(or do) it at the Visual Web JSF level. I'm thinking once I've gone
from the bottom up after having gone from the top down, some important
notions might begin to click.
The login example at netbeans.org is for version 5.5 and much has
changed since then (or so it appears to me) and that tutorial didn't
get me very far.
I hope someone has a good suggestion.
