Failed to initialize MyFaces in OSGi evironment

[fisch3r]

Hi there,

I use MyFaces (1.2.2) and Tomahawk (1.1.9) with Tomcat (6.0.18) in an OSGi environment (equinox). The tomcat runs as a bundle and works so far for jsps and servlets, even for SUNs RI. I store the myfaces and tomahawk jars in the WEB-INF/lib and added them to the classpath in the manifest. Everything else I import from the running bundles (JSTL 1.2, JSP 2.1, Servlet 2.5). The startup of MyFaces fails with the following message:

ERROR org.apache.myfaces.webapp.AbstractFacesInitializer  - An error occured while initializing MyFaces: null

I think the JspFactory or the JspApplicationContext is null.

My web.xml looks like this:

I also tried to use several versions of MyFaces (1.20, 1.25). Any ideas?
