java.lang.IllegalStateException w/ 3.0.0.m1

[tony_k]

the following scriptlet works for me under 2.7.1, but
fails under 3.0.0M1:

<%FacesContext facesCtx =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding vb =
facesCtx.getApplication().createValueBinding(
"#{requestContextBb}");
RequestContext ctxBb = (RequestContext)
vb.getValue(facesCtx);
String pageName = (String)
jspContext.getAttribute("pageName");
ctxBb.setPageName(pageName);

%>

i get the following exception, any ideas?

perhaps of significance, i'm using a listener and not a servlet to manage application context, from my web.xml:

    <listener>      <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

here is the stack trace:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No
FacesSpringWebApplicationContext found: no
ContextLoaderServlet registered?

[David Tashima]

I get this too, on 3.0.0.M2...

Not to be a horrible nag, but a little documentation goes a long way. The test suite kind of helps, but even then there aren't comments (like, this line in web.xml does X, this does Y, etc.).

HELP

Ok, so after some guess-and-check, I was able to make it go away by adding:

<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
