Hello,

I have a problem with the display from a .jsf file. I am using Tomcat 5.5.23, jdk5 and when I deploy I get the following warnings:

ContextListener: attributeAdded(‘com.sun.faces.ApplicationAssociate’, ‘com.sun.f
aces.application.ApplicationAssociate@969c29’)
ContextListener: attributeAdded(‘com.sun.faces.ConfigBase’, ‘true’)

So when I go to the URL, I get the .jsf source file. I don’t see it as a web page. This is really funny to me and I can’t figure it out.

Here is the faces-config.xml file:

<?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’UTF-8′?>

<faces-config xmlns=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee&#8221;

</navigation-rule>

</navigation-rule>
</faces-config>

Here is the web.xml file:

Please any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Iasanac,
There are a few things here.

1) You are using a JEE 5 web.xml descriptor, and Tomcat 5.5 doesn’t support JEE 5 deployment descriptors, you need to use the Web 2.4 (J2EE 1.4) spec level for your file (you can create a new project and be sure to select J2EE 1.4) or upgrade to Tomcat 6 and keep your current project.

2) Are you actually naming your physical pages with .jsf extensions? If you are, then Tomcat doesn’t know how to service them, so it’s just outputting the content it finds. Normally JSF pages are actually just .jsp files and you use the “url-pattern” in your web.xml file to direct people from URLs (home.faces) to your actual page (home.jsp)

[Lasana]

I will try that out. Thank you for your help, this was driving me crazy….
