I'm getting the java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find backup for factory javax.faces.context.FacesContextFactory. when I deploy my webapp as a .war. Does anyone have an idea where to begin looking for the root cause of this problem? The application runs as expected in the Eclipse IDE, but when exported as a war for deploying on the publicly available stand-alone TomEE environment, it fails.
Many thanks.
My configuration: Apache TomEE - WebProfile 1.6.0.2 JSF 2.2.7 (com.sun.faces)(Mojarra lib 2.2.0) <-- This may be a problem? But why does the app run in the Eclipse environment but not the stand-alone TomEE?
