This setup will work: 1. web.xml : <!-- Faces Servlet Mapping --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <!-- Welcome File List --> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> 2. In the browser, enter http://localhost:8080/xxx/ or http://localhost:8080/xxx/index.faces or http://localhost:8080/xxx/index.jsp However, if you specify *.jsp in the url-pattern of the web.xml, JBoss will spin a few minutes when generating exceptions I deploy the same JSF app in BEA Weblogic or Sun Java, and I don't have the same problem. Questions Any pointer to why? Is this a bug in JBoss's implementation of the servlet filter? Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3982210#...
