jsf - Error "package javax.faces.bean does not exist" at import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean

Question

I am studying JSF from Oracle online tutorial. While building its example "hello1" on netbeans it gives the following error at the line import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;:

package javax.faces.bean does not exist

How is this caused and how can I solve it?

Answer 1

Add these 2 dependency in your project's pom.xml file

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
  <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
  <artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.7</version>
</dependency>

This will solve your dependency problem.
