David: Yes, you can't tell?
:)
I've been reading Kito D. Mann's book JavaServer Faces In
Action, which is good... but there are details that aren't
clear.
SUN's api and impl lack the GUI library elements that my
project requires.
I've been developing only server side Java for a few
years, so working on a client is sorta new at this point. I picked JSF due to
the little work I've done with Swing, which the two have
similarities.
I *greatly* appreciate everyone's help, that's for
sure!
MyFaces has done things right.
Thanks,

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.
