TomEE: added favicon.ico, and it's not showing
As per the answer to How to display a favicon for web app using
Tomcat?<http://stackoverflow.com/a/7040100/933054>,
I added the following in h:head of my index.xhtml, tested the web app, and
even did F5 key (refresh), and the favicon.ico is not showing in my browser
tab.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" />
Please advise.

Neale,
Guess what... my JSF web app really only references index.xhtml, and
index.xhtml has many ui:include src="#{bean.page}" to render dynamic
content. So, I should be good-to-go with the favicon.ico in the /web root
folder.
Ooops, just remembered, I need to add this HTML to my login page and
viewExpired page; they are also in /web root folder.
Thanks again.
Howard

Hi Howard,
It's an HTML issue rather than a TomEE/Tomcat issue - so not really
appropriate for this list, but glad you have it working.
As with any link, /favicon.ico will go to your root, favicon.ico will be
relative to the page using it (ie: you'll need the icon in every folder) or
use http://site/favicon.ico for an absolute reference. Browsers like to
cache it, so if you make a mistake you might need to flush caches and
reload, or even flush and restart the browser.
Best Regards,
Neale

First, I tried what the website recommended, and that didn't work.
Next/finally, I tried the code (below) that you recommended, and that
worked without me having to press F5 key in Google Chrome.
<link type="image/png" rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
Thanks a lot Neale!!!

Neale,
Thank you for the response. I am trying the approach you recommend (the
code provided), but no success yet. Will keep hacking my way at it, and let
you know if I have any more questions, or when it works.

Hi Howard,
Try here:
http://wiki.metawerx.net/wiki/Web.xml.MimeMapping
In the section "Enabling a Favourites Icon" the various methods are covered
as well as hints for making the icon image.
These days we use the image/png method on our sites:
<link type="image/png" rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
Best Regards,
Neale
