java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native
Asked on January 14, 2015
Hi All,
I have started learning JSF. I am creating a simple JSF application. While deploying, I am getting error as below. How to resolve it.

I also faced the same error while learning JSF. I fixed the error by changing the JAR.
I was using JAR
compile 'javax.faces:jsf-impl:1.2_15'
compile 'javax.faces:javax.faces-api:2.0'
That was giving error at deployment time then did some googling and changed the JSF depedency JAR as below
compile 'com.sun.faces:jsf-api:2.2.9'
compile 'com.sun.faces:jsf-impl:2.2.9'
and the issue was fixed.
