Hey Jeff, The topic of JSF welcome files has been covered extensively on the facelets users list in the past. It'd be great if someone would doument this either in the facelets wiki or the myfaces wiki.
This link provides a number of ways to do it. http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=3210994&framed=y I use prefix mapping and a javascript redirect, but when I get a chance to revisit it, I'll probably switch over to creating a placeholder file and using a facelets entry in the welcome-file section. index.html: ============ <html> <head> <script language="javascript"> location = "./faces/pages/yourStartPage.xhtml"; </script> </head> <body> ...starting... </body> </html> ============ On 2/7/07, Jeff Bischoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Gah, I got frustrated with this attempt. I've been using extensions mapping successfully for about a year, and I'm comfortable with that, so I've switched back to it. That will simply mean that I have to hurry up and convert the rest of the application to facelets to make it all work again. :) Thanks all for the tips!
