title: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The type specified [com.sun.faces.application.WebappLifecycleListener] is not one of the expected listener types
body: <p>I got following problem: I got an application working with Java 8 and tomcat 7. Now I try to move on to tomcat 8. An a development env I downloaded the tomcat 8 binaries and startet working in eclipse. I added a new Server (Apache tomcat 8). Not I want to make my application running on the new tomcat 8. But I got following exceptions, which I can't fix:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.core.JasperListener
  WARNING: Catalina.start using conf/server.xml: Error at (28, 66) : org.apache.catalina.core.JasperListener
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This error seems logic to me, since the error message is really straight forward. After deleting this listener, following appears:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to 
  start component [StandardEngine [Catalina]
  .StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/mycontext]]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>followed by:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The type specified [com.sun.faces.application.WebappLifecycleListener] is not one of the expected listener types
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I got listener defined in Server.xml and I define listeners in my web.xml in my application. But if I comment all entries out, same error appears. </p>
  
  <p>Could someone please give me any clues to solve my problem?</p>
