            </ui:define>


        </ui:composition>

    </h:body>

</html>

when I change composition to be:

<ui:composition template="#{request.contextPath}/index.xhtml">

I get error:

/onas.xhtml @11,74 <ui:composition template="#{request.contextPath}/index.xhtml"> Invalid path : /web2/faces/index.xhtml

or if I add /faces/:

/onas.xhtml @11,74 <ui:composition template="#{request.contextPath}/faces/index.xhtml"> Invalid path : /web2/faces/index.xhtml

@RongNK see update: you might consider undownvoting and upvote — 4pie0, Apr 14 '13 at 16:48
I think you should research via book via internet, it is popular question, not only for jsf, i downvoted for that reason, sorry if it made you boring ! — Rong Nguyen, Apr 15 '13 at 03:59
@RongNK,ok, nevermind, and believe me I made research, I never ask without it, though sometimes what seems easy in some cases is so hard to resolve... — 4pie0, Apr 15 '13 at 07:45

All paths in <ui:xxx> components are absolute to the webcontent root, which is the "Web Pages" folder. Also, you should prefer using absolute paths starting with / instead of relative paths.

So, this should do:

<ui:composition template="/index.xhtml">

The #{request.contextPath} is only necessary when you want to manually create an URL (for the enduser). The /faces is only necessary when you want to invoke the JSF mapping on it.

tahnk you very much. I have changed it to be in my subpage, then it is load from main page, from menu and put into center content. however it looks like loading this page influences main page, because for example there is no css (that is still if I load subpage not from main_pages folder but from there where index is) and for example pictures are missing (which are declared in main page (index template) not in composition, how could it be? – 4pie0 Apr 16 '13 at 17:49
