Description Rostislav Hristov CLA 2010-07-27 17:23:19 EDT 
Build Identifier: 8.0.0.M1

The issue was first described at http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/jetty-users/msg00506.html

An application using JSF2 is working properly with 8.0.0.M0 but fails in 8.0.0.M1. The exception is: 

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Application was not properly
initialized at startup, could not find Factory:

2. Run "mvn clean jetty:run"
Comment 1 Jan Bartel CLA 2010-07-28 04:49:39 EDT 
Fixed for 8.0.0.M2.

Wow, that was tricky to find! JSF has some pretty hairy startup configuration code. It turns out that in jetty-8.0.0.M0 the configuration code was being invoked by our TagLibConfiguration class which looked for .tld files and extracted any listeners (in this case the com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener from jsf-core.tld) and set them up in the container.

For jetty-8.0.0.M1 we removed the TagLibConfiguration class as the jsp-2.2 implementation we use has a ServletContainerIntializer that does the same job, but it appears its optimized for glassfish and explicitly ignores the jsf-core.tld file. That wouldn't have been a problem, as faces also has a ServletContainerInitializer that would do the configuration, except that it was being run AFTER the faces servlet was initialized due to the non-0 load-on-startup value in web.xml.

So I've moved the ServletContainerInitializers to always be called before any servlets are initialized.

As a workaround until 8.0.0.M2 comes out, you can define a listener in web.xml for the faces configuration listener:

<listener>
 <listener-class>com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener</listener-class>
</listener>

Hello, just created an account to join this conversation.
The problem is still happenning in jetty-maven-plugin:8.0.3.v20111011:run
I have to make use of the ConfigureListener to make this work.
Thanks !
