Error: /login.xhtml Not Found in ExternalContext as a Resource
I'm using JBoss 7.1 with JSF 2.1/Prime Faces and keep running into the error listed in the title. I've tried many of the suggestions made here and all end up with the same error.
File structure is:
WEB-INF
faces
login.xhtml
I have the following in web.xml:
<display-name>clientAccountManager</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE</param-name>
<param-value>Development</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
I am accessing the file currently using the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/clientAccountManager/faces/login.xhtml
I have also changed the URL pattern to *.xhtml and used:
http://localhost:8080/clientAccountManager/login.xhtml
with the same result.
What am I missing?
Answer
You made 2 mistakes.
/WEB-INFfolder is for configuration files, include files, template files, tag files, etc, which are supposed to be hidden from direct access, not for publicly accessible files. Put publicly accessible files outside/WEB-INFfolder./facesfolder should not be used at all. A virtual/faces/*URL pattern onFacesServletdoesn't imply that you should have a physical folder like that. Remove it.
So, all with all, just
WebContent
|-- META-INF
|-- WEB-INF
| |-- faces-config.xml
| `-- web.xml
`-- login.xhtml
and
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
and
http://localhost:8080/clientAccountManager/login.xhtml
should do.
