Unable to find class 'com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler'

Question

Hi All,

I have Richfaces application which I deploy to Glassfish v3. For many weeks (almost) everything works fine, but suddenly today a got following error. I have jsf-facelets-1.1.14.jar dependency in my pom.xml. I have no idea how to fix that. Help!!

I had to add this dependency:

        <version>1.1.15.B1</version>

    </dependency>
