I am experiencing problems migrating to Rich Faces 4 and am requesting assistance.

My project uses Rich Faces 4.0.0.Final, Spring 3.0.5, JSF 2.0.0-RC2 and runs on Tomcat 6.

An earlier version of the project successfully ran using jsf 1.2 and Rich Faces 3.3.1.GA.

When I start Tomcat and point my browser to my application, the XML of my mainapp.xhtml page is displayed.

lib contains:
