I am trying to gradually move a project over to Facelets from .jsp, but am having a lot of trouble to say the least.
The current jsf tags are being rendered just fine on the .jsp pages.
The .xhtml page with a simple
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head>
<title>This is a Test</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<div>
<H2>
<h:outputText value="test"/>
</H2>
</div>
</h:body>
</html>
the title gets rendered when trying to access the page directly (somePage.xhtml) but the JSF tags are never parsed (Inspecting the page shows JSF components and not the html).
When trying to use the virtual URL (somePage.cps) neither the title nor JSF tags are rendered. (Nothing is displayed on page inspection)
What I have been reading is this is because the JSF tags are not being passed through FacesServlet .
In my web.xml I have
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.cps</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Let me say I am new to JSF and this project was handed down to me, it is useing the virtual url pattern of .cps.
I have tried fixes mentioned here
Migrating from JSF 1.2 to JSF 2.0
and here
