While deploying a very simple JSF 2 / Richfaces 3.3.3 application I get the stacktrace below. This happens on Weblogic 9.2 and Tomcat.

My thoughts on this:

richfaces-ui-3.3.3.Final.jar!/META-INF/faces-config.xml references org.richfaces.component.FileUploadPhaselistener. FileUploadPhaselistener has the dependency to FileUploadException which is not in the richfaces-ui-3.3.3.Final.jar but it is in richfaces-impl-jsf2-3.3.3.Final.jar which is on the classpath.

I'm totally stuck on this, any help is appreciated!

Regards

Matthias
