new to JSF- getting error

[Vidu Greg]

hi

I am new to JSF. I am trying to learn it. I was trying the tutorials listed at Core Servlets site (http://www.coreservlets.com/JSF-Tutorial/#Section2)..

I checked I have every required file in my web-inf/lib directory but still getting this error when I am trying to access http:\\localhost:8080\jsf-test

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Without looking at the code...

How is your faces servlet mapped in your web.xml file? *.jsf? You'll need to explicitly go to...

http://localhost:8080/jsf-test/index.jsf

(I'm assuming that 'index' is the default page. Also, forward slashes)
