No, it has to match what your facesServlet maps to PLUS the /faces/* pattern.
One maintenance-free way to do this might be to use the following
(assuming your faces servlet is named "FacesServlet"):
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>extensionsFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>FacesServlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter </filter-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</ url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
This works for me, although I only have the first mapping because my
FacesServlet maps to /faces/*, but I'm going to change my config file
to add the second mapping to prevent future potential maintenance
problems.
...Or you can probably change jsf to jsp.
