i followed the steps from this site : https://codenotfound.com/jsf-primefaces-example.html

Answer 1

The version 4.0.1 of Join Faces used on spring-boot-starter 2.1.1.RELEASE

So you can use 4.1.1 join faces for spring-boot-starter 2.2.1.RELEASE Please check the below link and you can refer corresponding spring-boot & joinfaces dependency combinations.

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.joinfaces/jsf-spring-boot-starter https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.joinfaces/jsf-spring-boot-starter/4.1.1

Answer 2

The version 4.0.1 of Join Faces used depends on spring-boot-starter 2.1.1 while version 2.2.1 was added to the POM. This caused the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
