NoClassDefFoundError running JSF in Spring-boot

Question

I'm tring to get work Spring-boot with primfaces. I followed this examle https://github.com/Zergleb/Spring-Boot-JSF-Example . I tried moved it from gradle to maven becasue other part of project use maven, but I allways get

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/jsp/JspFactory

I was searching and I found this solution java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config but it didn't worked for me.

This is my dependencies list from pom file:

I also tried download needed libraries and put them into WEB-INF/lib but didn't work.I'm using Intelij 14.

Answer 1

this combination of dependencies helped me out to get Spring Boot up and running with JSF.

These libraries provide to the embedded Tomcat the necessary classes to handle the JSF servlet requests an EL expressions correctly.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
        <artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.2</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.el</groupId>
        <artifactId>el-ri</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
    </dependency>
