Could not find backup for Factory javax.faces.context.Facescontextfactory

Question

I am creating a project using Spring Boot + Primefaces but when trying to access the page I get the following error:

Whitelabel Error Page

This application has no Explicit Mapping for /error, so you are Seeing this as a fallback.

Tue Jan 27 10:54:55 BRST 2015 There was an Unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500). Could not find backup for Factory javax.faces.context.Facescontextfactory.

I would like to know what this error means, so I researched could be a problem when trying to use Primefaces with some other implementation but as seen above I’m only using Primefaces.
