java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access class com.sun.faces.context.ApplicationMap - jsf-2

Question

i ve a jsf application which works fine on eclipse with tomcat 7. The problem happened when i packaged it (with mvn package..) and put the .war file in the tomcat webapps directory to deploy it.
in the tomcat console i got :
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Nov 2, 2012 12:38:09 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext startInternal
SEVERE: Context [/jsf_prime_ldap] startup failed due to previous errors
Nov 2, 2012 12:38:09 AM org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader checkThread
LocalMapForLeaks
SEVERE: The web application [/jsf_prime_ldap] created a ThreadLocal with key of
type [com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener$1] (value [com.sun.faces.config.Con
figureListener$1#6972f1]) and a value of type [com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureLis
tener.ServletContextAdapter] (value [com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener$Serv
letContextAdapter#18fee4f]) but failed to remove it when the web application was
stopped. Threads are going to be renewed over time to try and avoid a probable
memory leak.
for more details about this problem, in the localhost's tomcat log file i have :

Answer 1

in the tomcat lib directory i have added these jars : commons-beanutils-1.8.3/ commons-collections-3.2.1/ commons-digester-1.5/ commons-logging-1.1.1/ el-impl-2.2/ jsf-api-2.1.11/ jsf-impl-2.1.11/ jsp-api-2.1/jstl-1.2/ primefaces-3.4.1
Undo this step. Reinstall Tomcat altogether if you're uncertain. Do not ever touch it unless you really understand what you're doing. This is the cause of the whole problem. The classpath has become a messup and the duplicate JARs/classes are conflicting each other.
Webapp-specific JARs doesn't belong in there. They belong in /WEB-INF/lib, expect of the EL and JSP JARs; Tomcat has as being a JSP/Servlet/EL container already its own implementations for this. You should not put JSP/Servlet/EL libraries of a different container make/version in the classpath at all.
Technically, at least the both JSF JARs, the JSTL JAR and the PrimeFaces JAR should be in /WEB-INF/lib. However, as you're using Maven, it should already have taken care about this. You don't need to do anything regard this. So all you need to do is to free Tomcat from illegal JARs/classes.
