I have deployed the jbpm.sar and jbpm.war built from the jbpm 3.1.1 starter's kit (along with required libraries to my best knowledge) into JBoss 4.0.4. JBoss starts up without any errors. When I access the webapp at http://localhost:8080/jbpm, I receive the normal home page fine, without any errors. However, if I try to click on the "Home", "Administration", or "Monitoring" links on the left hand side, I get a 500 response, with an ugly stack trace. Checking in the jboss log, I see the following error: 2006-07-12 11:40:18,078 ERROR [javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag] Faces context not found. getResponseWriter will fail.

So I checked my database, and noticed that there were no users, groups, or permissions in the database. Perhaps this is fine, but I wasn't sure, so I thought I'd mention it. Anyway, does anyone have any idea why this error is occurring, and how to rectify it? And also, what is the generally accepted way to populate the users, groups, and permissions tables -- is this something typically done in the web console (I can't tell because I haven't gotten it to work completely yet), or is this initially done by manually putting values in the database?
