Re: newBee question : what are these additional declaration in web.xml
for jsf stuff.
yes, I use *.jsf. when a url http://localhost:8080/webapp/page.jsf is
called, it calls the jsp in webroot of your war file. I also personally
put this in my web.xml.....
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
<param-value>.jspx</param-value>
</context-param>
This allows me to name all my JSF jsps xxxx.jspx and I can name all my
normal jsps(that are not for JSF) xxxxx.jsp. I tried to figure out how
I could use jsf in the url and in the file name in the war file, but it
seems that cannot be done right now(or I could not figure it out).
later,

works for me. I changed mine to *.leg and left all my files to be
called *.jsp with this web.xml file......
My index.jsp does a redirect to my home.leg url.

I am pretty much a newb myself to all this, but what do you have in your
welcome file list. If you have index.jsp, that could be screwing things
up maybe? I read in a book that a JSF app usually bootstraps with an
index.html that redirects to the first jsf page sort of like
index.html -> home.leg
I have not tried index.leg which many not work for me either. Run a
quick test and create a test.jsp page and type in the url
http://localhost:8080/test/test.leg and see if that works. If it does,
it could have something to do with welcome-file-list.

Hi Dean,
I have changed my web.xml file as follow :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- Faces Servlet Mapping -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.leg</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I have *No* .leg file in my web root file.
i have files like :
index.jsp
logout.jsp
login.jsp
When i tried to access my index.jsp using the following url :
http://127.0.0.1:8080/test/index.leg
it return
*HTTP Status 404 -
*
*what else i should configure to use .leg extension ?
should i change all of myfiles extension to .leg?
*
before this i used the formal /faces/* as a url pattern , on that time i
could access my jsp files using
http://localhost:8080/test/faces/index.jsp
Thanks
