Ok. The first problem is that web.xml elements are not in the correct order.
You're probably getting warnings about this, and this is probably a
large part of the problem as most of your configuration file is
probably being ignored.
This is the required ordering:
<!ELEMENT web-app (icon?, display-name?, description?, distributable?,
context-param*, filter*, filter-mapping*, listener*, servlet*,
servlet-mapping*, session-config?, mime-mapping*, welcome-file-list?,
error-page*, taglib*, resource-env-ref*, resource-ref*, security-constraint*,
login-config?, security-role*, env-entry*, ejb-ref*, ejb-local-ref*)>
That is, context-params followed by filters followed by
filter-mappings followed by listeners followed by servlets followed by
servlet-mappings followed by security-constraints.
Your filter mappings will be executed in the order you list them. My
recommendation would be to have the following myfaces extension filter
listed last, and during post-processing (after the Servlet runs), it
will run first, so you'll have a valid page at this point.
<!-- extension mapping for adding <script/>, <link/>, and other
resource tags to JSF-pages -->
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>FacesServlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
I would delete the following url-pattern mapping as it doesn't add anything.
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
The order of the following extensions filter mapping probably doesn't
matter, but you might get slightly better performance by listing it
first:
<!-- extension mapping for serving page-independent resources
(javascript, stylesheets, images, etc.) -->
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
