The following problems were found: - Bean or property class com.vigilance.jsf for managed bean helloWorldBean cannot be found.

This error message suggests that you've a /WEB-INF/faces-config.xml with the following entry:

<managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-class>com.vigilance.jsf</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-name>helloWorldBean</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-scope>[some scope]</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>

This is wrong in 2 ways:

The <managed-bean-class> must represent the fully qualified class name, not the package name.
The whole <managed-bean> entry is unnecessary if you're already using @ManagedBean. Get rid of the whole entry altogether.

Thanks ! Can't say what went wrong as I 've tried removing entry from faces-config.xml but still got some errors for bean not having default constructor.Cleaned the project and upgraded to tomcat 7 and it worked. – Priyanka Sep 04 '13 at 21:44
@BalusC when we are using JSF2 still then we need to use 'faces.config.xml' file? – Programmer Sep 05 '13 at 05:14
