Hi Max,
You can search around on the web, but I don't think you'll find a good
answer if you're using a prefix mapping (like /faces/*), except for the
root. Even using a suffix mapping, you may not get it to work if the
suffix doesn't match the filename (i.e. *.jsf vs. *.jsp). What you can
do is add a plain .jsp file (or .html file) that redirects to the
correct URL and use that filename as your welcome-file.
Good luck!

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!

Hi Max,
Assuming you have a servlet-mapping for the FacesServlet of "/faces/*"
the welcome-file below should work (I just tried it and it worked) --
although only for the index.jsp in the docroot. For subdirectories, it
doesn't work (and I'm not sure it can work as the welcome-file would
have to insert "/faces" after your context root, and the page name at
the end of the requested uri).
As for #2, are you saying the welcome-file is not invoked when you
specify "index.jsf" as the welcome file and then make
"http://<host>/<uri>/"?
If so, this works for our app...
however, we actually have files named "index.jsf" (using JSFTemplating)
which I think is a requirement for this to work. However, if you mean
that you have index.jsp and asking for index.jsf directly (w/ the
servlet mapping mentioned) doesn't work... this should work (and I have
test that it does work).
If you are testing after making web.xml changes w/o redeploying, you
should remove the files in the "domains/domain1/generated/" directory.
GlassFish will not re-look at your web.xml files unless you redeploy or
it can't find the information from the generated directory.
Good luck!

Hi *
On SJS AppServer 9.0_01 (+ NetBeans 5.5) :
(1) It seems that the <welcome-file> configured in my app's
WEB-INF/web.xml :
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/faces/index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
is always ignored as
- seen from NetBeans (attached image) and
- in actual application, i.e. requesting http://<host>/<uri>
always goes to http://<host>/<uri>/index.jsp
instead of http://<host>/<uri>/faces/index.jsp
(2) Also, FacesServlet is not invoked for http://<host>/<uri>/index.jsf
even if web.xml has the
following:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Any input much appreciated.
Thanks!
Max
