Hi All,

I have come up against a problem I cannot find a solution to here (or anywhere else on the web), I hope someone will be able to help. I have been tasked with migrating an existing application running on JBoss to Tomcat (7) and upgrading from JSF 1.1 to 2.X along with upgrading from Richfaces 3.3.0 to 4.X. Thanks to Cameron Wallace McKenzie and his excellent article here I have managed to get the application running on tomcat 7 with JSF 2.0 but when I try and add the new Richface 4.1 jars I get an error which prevents my server from starting correctly. The log of my server starting is attached.

Further to trying to provide plenty of useful information the jar files I have in my WEB-INF/lib directory are:

Finally it's worth noting that I've created a directory called "endorsed" in my Tomcat home directory into which I've had to place another copy of the jaxws-api.jar. If I do not have this jar in the endorsed directory the server will not start (with a different error which I can provide details for if necessary).

Thanks!
