I don't know why you are having problems; that's a pretty standard setup. And as you say: <quote>basically the configuration runs on my local machine but not the server</quote>
You say: <quote>I map *.jsf to facesServlet I can see /guess.jsf but if i create a file /test/guess.jsf I get a 404 error</quote> I presume you meant to say that you create file "guess.xhtml", and can access it as "/guess.jsf", but that when you create file "test/guess.xhtml" you cannot access it as "/test/guess.jsf". The fact that the problem is only on the server would suggest file-access-permissions or some apache-httpd-frontend config issue, but you've already excluded these possibilities. All I could suggest is starting tomcat with debugging options, and putting a breakpoint in the FacesServletImpl class, and the FaceletViewHandler class. There is a facelets config option to tell it to only process certain urls (facelets.VIEW_MAPPINGS) but I can't see how that could be the cause of your problem. When not set, facelets handles all requests that the FacesServlet is mapped to. And even then, I can't think of a setting for this property that would match top-level pages but not pages in subdirs. Your server is linux; is your development system also linux (ie not using a case-insensitive filesystem like NTFS)?
