Yes, it's common problem, look at http://java.dzone.com/news/jsf2-configuration-google-app how to fix this.

And also look at http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-java/web/will-it-play-in-app-engine There is a lot of information about what Java libraries works on GAE, and what are not

This helped me:

From the this tutorial:

JSF 2 is using “javax.naming.InitialContext” that’s not supported in GAE.

To solve this:

• You need to get a copy of the JSF’s source code. Copy the WebConfiguration.java
• Comment methods that are using "javax.naming.InitialContext" class
• But wait, you can get the already modified class from the tutorial (the long one).
• Put it in the package com.sun.faces.config.

• If you get an error on the split method, this could be the solution:

  result = Util.split(servletContext, value, sep);

Now, your newly created WebConfiguration.java class will overload the original WebConfiguration.java.
