Error configuring application listener of class com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener

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

This is my first time to write blog on CSDN.

When I builded local maven(webapp)-tomcat projecet, there is a problem as title.
Firstly, the project compiles fine.when I run it, I get the following error:

In short：

 Error configuring application listener of class com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
 java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/faces/FacesException

I googled and tried a lot of way to solve it. Here are a few links:

https://github.com/ykameshrao/spring-hibernate-springdata-springmvc-maven-project-framework/issues/5

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14570868/absent-code-attribute-in-method-that-is-not-native-or-abstract-in-class-file-jav

But it did not work if did as their did.

Through google and error, I found out this is because two class files - “com.sun.faces” and “javax.faces”.
So I searched local maven repository and found there is no file “faces” in the folder “./repository/com/sun/”.

And then, I change two dependencies in pom.xml form maven project.

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.faces</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.faces</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2_12</version>
</dependency>

change to:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.6</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.6</version>
</dependency>

Resolved the error, not issue.

Because there is new error…

I am working now… and see you later…
