JSF + Spring MVC integration everything works but exception is thrown

I need help identifying the reason why an exception is being thrown and how to solve it.

I have integrated JSF into my Spring MVC project, and I've managed to get it to work just as i need to. But once I open JSF view, an exception is thrown but everything works just fine. here is the exception:

What file is it looking for? Why? How can I provide more information?

Well, not sure what application server you're using here, but after scanning the web for situation like yours, I see a recurring pattern: a bug is lurking somewhere in the facelets implementation and upgrading to a newer version of the library itself or app server should help.

Sources:

1. BEA10
2. Seam framework bug report
3. Bad file descriptor under Websphere

They're pretty much the same or identical, but they do hint that there aren't bugs in your code.

Just in case someone else is gonna have this problem i've found out what exactly was wrong. I was deploying my application as exploded war and this caused this error. after changing it to regular war or after deploying on remote server everything was ok.
