JSF tags not being rendered as HTML [duplicate]

Answer 1

Check either your web.xml or your faces-config.xml. Something's obviously missing.

edit : i don't know jsf 2, but in my jsf 1 faces-config.xml i have this :

<application>
   <view-handler>com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler</view-handler>
</application>

Maybe you should take a look a this. (could be a hint, sorry i cannot help any further)

edit 2 : this is not the answer, sorry

Answer 2

This may not be relevant to you, but after hours of searching for the solution for a similar problem, my culprit turns out to be this file in WEB-INF/faces-config.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<faces-config version="1.2" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
 xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_1_2.xsd"/>

For some strange reason JBoss Tools 3.3.0.M2 put that file in my JSF 2.0 project and BOOM! Nothing works. The file looks very innocent yet (probably due to version="1.2") it made me quite frustrated.

I've searched logs (nothing!), WEB-INF/lib, classpaths, even removing dependencies and it turned out to be a single faces-config.xml :-P

Hopefully this helps someone...
