Here's my draft of suggested changes.
<!-- extension mapping for adding <script/>, <link/>, and other
resource tags to JSF-pages -->
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
<!-- servlet-name must match the name of your
javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet entry -->
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
<!-- extension mapping for serving page-independent resources
(javascript, stylesheets, images, etc.) -->
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</ url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
The pattern "/faces/myFacesExtensionResource*" is not legal.
The pattern "/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/*" doesn't appear to
work, and I'm not sure why that is.
