[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-8687) JSF tooling adds an Faces Servlet declaration with no servlet mappings on project import

[Dan Allen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8687?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12596620#comment-12596620 ] 

Dan Allen commented on JBIDE-8687:
----------------------------------

The reason I am not opposed to adding a complete Faces Servlet configuration is because the application server provided configuration does not block *.xhtml files. So we would effectively be fixing that problem by updating the web.xml.

I'm also concerned that the comments that were in the web.xml get stripped out. Comments should be preserved, but that is probably an upstream issue.

> When importing a Java EE 6 webapp that contains a faces-config.xml descriptor, the JSF tooling unnecessarily adds a Faces Servlet declaration to the web.xml. The Faces Servlet is not required in Java EE 6 (at least on JBoss AS and GlassFish). What's worse, the Servlet is added with no mappings, so it completely breaks JSF.
