I'm converting an app written in JSF 1.1/ADF faces to JSF 2.2 (Mojarra) /Primefaces and converting all of the faces-config navigations to inplace (implicit?).

I just spent two hours debugging why the redirect: 

"blahbla?faces-redirect=true"

wasn't working. Turns out it was supposed to be 

"blahblah?faces-redirect=true"

I'm not sure why I didn't get some sort of error. Web developer didn't show anything, nothing in the logs - and my logs are working fine. The only indication was a lack of an error message but nothing redirecting.

Searching, I found only this

You only need to keep in mind that the new JSF 2.0 provided implicit navigation doesn't scan for the presence of the file,...

Migrating from JSF 1.2 to JSF 2.0

I guess I expected a "404" type of error if the redirect page didn't exist. I told the server to display a page that doesn't exist, so some error must of raised and then discarded somewhere?

Is there some setting - maybe in web.xml - that will help display this type of coding error? Or anything else?

I just need it for dev.

PS. I did check the file name by copying it from the code and pasting it into the term but I made the mistake of using tab completion and of course it completed. If I had just put .xhtml on the end I would have seen the missing char.

if it helps, I'm running Tomcat 7

  • tried setting the application project state to development mode while developing? See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17339830/overview-of-all-jsf-related-web-xml-context-parameter-names-and-values – Kukeltje Oct 08 '15 at 19:13
  • @Kukeltje thanks for reminding me about that! I had turned it back to Production at some point to check out another matter. I put it back to Development (where it should be) and that did not make a difference. It was worth asking this question just to get that reminder. – Jim Oct 08 '15 at 20:06
