HTTP 500 java.lang.RunTimeException Can't find FacesContext

Question

I am getting this error HTTP 500 java.lang.RunTimeException Can't find FacesContext.

I read about this problem and most people adviced: to change from

http://localhost:8080/GeneratingEmployeeReport/index.jsp

to

http://localhost:8080/GeneratingEmployeeReport/faces/index.jsp

I tried it but get the same error. Also, I have added all the recommended .jar files.

Error message:

When I chang the url at the end I get this error

Project setup:

web.xml file

faces-config.xml file

index.jsp file

employee.jsp file

Answer 1

The thing is if I remove everything that is in the index.jsp file between , including these tags, I am able to see the page. Otherwise I get the same error. One of the solutions was to use this url: localhost:8080/GeneratingEmployeeReport/faces/index.jsp I am not able to run the page directly. I am not sure why? I wish there is other solution
