Hi Ken
Thanks! I was deploying the app using directoryDeployed=true so I
thought the app can just be recompiled instead of redeployed and picked
up by App Server after restart. After redeploying the app (which
cleared the generated files under "domains/domain1/generated", I got
most of the things working properly except redirecting to the configured
welcome-file, ie requesting
http://<host>/<uri>/ still seemed not to go
to
http://<host>/<uri>/faces/index.jsf, automatically.
Thanks again!
