index.html change to index.xhtml

Question

When trying to logout my application I'm having the following error message :

com.sun.faces.context.FacesFileNotFoundException: /index.xhtml Not Found in ExternalContext as a Resource

To logout I'm going though the following steps inside PhaseListener.beforePhase(PhaseEvent phaseEvent) :

// Redirect to index.html
NavigationHandler nh = fctx.getApplication().getNavigationHandler();
String action_outcome = "/index.html";
nh.handleNavigation(fctx, null, action_outcome);

My web.xml is as follow :

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
        xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
        xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" 
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"

          </login-config>
</web-app>

I do not have index.xhtml in my app, but I do have and want to keep it index.html file.

Why is my outcome_action given to NavigationHandler rename to index.xhtml ?

How could I avoid it ?

The NavigationHandler expects a JSF page, not a non-JSF page. Moreover, you're there actually not sending a real redirect at all, on the contrary to what the code comment says there. You're just performing a forward here.

Performing a real redirect would be the solution to your problem. It's to be done as below:

ExternalContext ec = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
ec.redirect(ec.getRequestContextPath() + "/index.html");

index.html change to index.xhtml
