Why is tomcat looking for JSF classes?
I am trying to get my development environment up and running, and I am having trouble with Tomcat trying to load JSF classes for some reason. My application does not use JSF; in fact, I haven't even deployed my application to tomcat yet. I am getting a number of stack traces in the startup logs and I cannot load the default tomcat homepage when I try to open http://localhost:8080 (I just get the tomcat 404 page).
Here is what the first stack trace is:

I also get similar stack traces for the following other classes:
com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
com.sun.faces.application.WebappLifecycleListener
I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I am running Tomcat 5.5.27 with the 1.4 compatibility pack installed, with Java 1.4.2, on Mas OS 10.5.
Thanks for any ideas!
EDIT: It seems that each of the default applications that come with Tomcat (host-manager, balancer, tomcat-docs, jsp-examples, etc) was relying on these JSF classes. I removed these default applications, and everything seems to be working.
So, my question is now: Why does tomcat come with applications that don't include their dependencies, and what do I need to do to make those default applicaitons work?

Answer 1
Is your tomcat installation totally clean, or is it one you have inherited?
Check if the webapps contains existing wars/directories which may be referencing JSF classes?
UPDATE: Ah -- I see you found this was the case :-)
Not sure why tomcat doesn't include all its dependencies. Perhaps you downloaded a developer release instead of a stable one?

You might have to clean the Tomcat work directory.

java - how many classes per package? methods per class? lines per method?
I have to give a general note to some huge Java project for which I have but little visibility and I was wondering if there were any guidelines for determining:

I use nested classes for accessing private members in JUnit tests. They are alaways named "TestProxy".

Can it be done with a plugin? If so, a prototype would be nice! ;-)

java - How to deal with the most common classes missing on J2ME
I'm trying to code an application which runs un different java platforms like J2SE, J2ME, Android, etc. I already know that I'll have to rewrite most of the UI for each platform, but want to reuse the core logic.
Keeping this core portable involves three drawbacks that I know of:

class - How can I use the java for each loop with custom classes?

How can I take advantage of the for each loop with my own classes? Is there an interface I should be implementing?
