PrimeFaces resource exception under Tomcat7

[paul nisset]

Hi ,
I'm trying to migrate an application from NetBeans /Glassfish to Eclipse/ Tomcat7 and I can't get Tomcat to recognize PrimeFaces .
I'm using Tomcat7.
I'm using PrimeFaces3.3 . I have also tried 3.0
I'm using JSF 2.1.6

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

This is the error

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
	javax.faces.application.Application.getResourceHandler(Application.java:287)
	javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:588)
	org.primefaces.webapp.filter.FileUploadFilter.doFilter(FileUploadFilter.java:79)

Glassfish is a full-stack JEE server. Tomcat is not.

What that means in practical terms is that Glassfish has the JSF core implementation jars built into Glassfish itself, but Tomcat doesn't.

So you have to build a Tomcat-friendly WAR that includes the missing jsf-impl.jar file in its WEB-INF/lib set.
