First let me thank you all for your responses.
I am using NetBeans 7 with JSF 2.0. The web.xml is generated by NetBeans
but I verified everything manually..
This is basically the hello1_formauth tutorial example in glassfish 3.1
I only added my custom made realm for authentication and wanted to test
the login page.
My concern is that code like the one below i not working,
<h:commandLink value="#{bundleAccess['login.forgot.password']}"
action="forgotPassword" />
and if the login.jsf is not pure html nothing else works.
By the way the authentication works ok, I just want to create a reacher
login page to have links like forgotPassword Register etc.
