Description Masaki Katakai 2010-03-18 05:45:41 UTC

I got this feedback from japanese user in mailing list.

  http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/jsf20-intro.html

In step 8,  web.xml will be modified from

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

to

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>faces/index.xhtml</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

when JSF framework is added.

"faces/" is added before "index.xhtml".

However, it doesn't on NetBeans 6.8.

It seems that when "web.xml" does not exist, "web.xml" will be newly created at adding
JSF framework. What is the correct behavior when "web.xml" already exists? Will it
modify existing <welcome-file> entry? If not, the tutorial will need to be modified.

I think existing file should be updated according to the faces mapping.

I've added a note to the tutorial, which will remain until the 6.9 release:

<p class="alert"><strong>Important:</strong> If your <code>&lt;welcome-file&gt;</code> entry does not contain '<code>faces/</code>', you should add it manually. This ensures that your project's welcome page <code>index.xhtml</code>) passes through the Faces servlet before being displayed in a browser. This is necessary in order to render the Facelets tag library components properly. See <a href="http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182277">Issue 182277</a> for more information.</p>
