Todd,
From
your various posts tonight, you seem to have a number of JSF concepts
mixed. Is this your first Faces Webapp? (That is not meant to be an insult
but a simple question)
If
your project folder looks like this as you indicated:
/transactionbrowser/
-
WEB-INF
-
resources
-index.jsp
-tbrowser.jsp
Then the various mappings you have posted over the past
24 hours have often been incorrect. With this webapp, your main url would
likely be:
http://127.0.0.1/transactionbrowser and you would
expect it to invoke the welcome page /index.jsp. Your example index.jsp was listed
as:
<jsp:forward
page="/faces/tbrowser.jsp"/>
THAT is where your first make came from: your mappings. JSF is
often taught using SUFFIX mapping so the urls such as /index.jsf are understood to be
imaginary (no such file exists) allowing the servlet to map /index.jsf to compile the view from the jsp file /index.jsp. With prefix mapping the url "/index.jsf" would be equivalent to "/faces/index" see? When you switch to PREFIX mapping like
having mappings start "/faces/whatever", you must
skip the .jsp extension so your index.jsp file should contain:
<jsp:forward
page="/faces/tbrowser"/>
Adding the .jsp suffix while using prefix
mapping is causing your problem (that plus how your web.xml Servlet and Filter
mappings are setup). I strongly recommend you to back to the myfaces blank.war and example war files to see how standard *.jsf suffix mapping works and begin your application with
that style until you are positive you can make a working JSF application.
It will save you time and effort since searching (the web or this lists's
archives) on the *.jsf SUFFIX extension will result
in a much greater number of relevant posts than if you use PREFIX "/faces/*" mapping.

Subject: How do I properly use jsp:forward in MyFaces?I have a project folder that looks like:/transactionbrowser/- WEB-INF- resources-index.jsp-tbrowser.jspWith the servlet-mapping of:<filter>
<filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.filter.ExtensionsFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>maxFileSize</param-name>

</servlet-mapping>The only URLs that work are:On my index.jsp I have:<jsp:forward page="/faces/tbrowser.jsp"/>So, when I go to:I see the page, but not with the MyFaces rendering, I still plain control GUI components with none of the add MyFaces filter files. How do I use jsp:forward properly to get to:orI can't use the following since that doesn't run the MyFaces servlet:<jsp:forward page="/transactionbrowser/faces/tbrowser.jsp"/>Thoughts or examples are appreciated.Thanks,--Todd
