I want to use Mojarra 2.1 with Tomcat 7, so I added following dependencies in my pom file:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
<version>2.1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.1.2</version>
</dependency>
However, when I tried to start Tomcat, I got following exception:
org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardServer[8007]]

How is this caused and how can I solve it?
Here's my web.xml

I have the same problem as you and found out that change from servlet-api
to javax.servlet.api
will fix the problem. Hope this help. Please note that, I am using Juno Eclipse, Tomcat 7, Dynamic Web Module 3.0, and JDK 1.7.
