Re: Importing javax.faces.context.FacesContext for Glassfish

Lew wrote (and why don't you attribute? It makes the flow easier to follow):
"Correct directory" means whatever directory your web app uses for its
libraries, in other words, "<context-root>/WEB-INF/lib/" within your app
server's application deployment directory (e.g., $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ for
Tomcat).

Assuming that I can download the required jar files, should I put them
under Glassfish, and if so, how to I let Glassfish know where they
are?

I'd stick with my earlier recommendation and put them in the application on a case-by-case basis until you're more familiar with things. I have a prejudice against making libraries global to the app server.
