I am creating a project using Spring Boot + PrimeFaces but when trying to access the page I get the following error:
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for / error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.
Tue Jan 27 10:54:55 PM EST 2015 There was an unexpected error (type = Internal Server Error, status = 500). Could not find backup for factory javax.faces.context.FacesContextFactory.

I would like to know what this error means, so I researched it could be a problem when trying to use PrimeFaces with some other implementation however as seen above I'm just using PrimeFaces.
