java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/faces/webapp/FacesServlet

Question

I want to use Mojarra 2.1 with Tomcat 7, so I added following dependencies in my pom file:

       com.sun.faces         


        

Answer 1

I have the same problem, and it seams somehow to

javax
javaee-web-api

or

javax
javaee-api

after setting them to scope provides (or delete them at all when you start an server in maven test) it starts working for me.

@See this Blog: java.lang.ClassFormatError : Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file … - It discuss the problem for javax.persistence.GenerationType but I think you and I hit the same problem.
