I am fairly new to Coding with Frameworks. I want to build a Website using JSF and found BootsFaces as a Framework. So I downloaded BootsFaces and followed https://www.bootsfaces.net/quick-start.jsf to get everything going. I added the .jar into the Java Build Path and started a Project like the quick-start. So far so good. Then I wanted to implement some more "advanced" stuff. So I tried to add https://showcase.bootsfaces.net/forms/buttonGroups.jsf just to test if everything works. It didn't, If I copy
<b:buttonGroup>
<b:button value="Left" />
<b:button value="Middle" />
<b:button value="Right" />
</b:buttonGroup>
My Site doesnt show anything when it loads.
Here is my index.xhtml

I use Glassfish as a Server if thats important.
Did I forget/not see something very basic? Or isn't BootsFaces even supposed to work like this?

I am using pretty faces with jsf 2.0 but it is not showing output when hitting the url. I added the prettyfaces-core-3.3.2.jar. Here is the configurations i have made.

This is the configurations I have done but it is not working. Can someone tell me the mistake I made in the configurations. Thnaks in advance.
I have created a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse Luna , using JSF 2.2, Jboss AS 7. The problem is that no button is rendered in browser from this code <a4j:commandButton value="a4j button"></a4j:commandButton> after I run the project. The same is true for a4j:commandLink for example.
I tried to modify <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern> into <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern> (found something like this on the internet) but no result.
Hitting Ctrl Space on <a4j: pops a list of tags so i guess richfaces is properly installed.

I am beginner in JSF. I found one example in the Internet but it is not working besides the author said that it was right. Here it is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core">
<f:view>
Label Text:
<h:outputLabel value="Hello, world"/>
</f:view>
</html>
After deploying into Tomcat, I can see only "Label Text" in Chrome/Mozila. I am opening code page throught browser and see the next:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html" xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets" xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core">
<f:view>
Label Text:
<h:outputLabel value="Hello, world"></h:outputLabel>
</f:view>
</html>
What is problem of mine?
Here is my web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

1) Probably you forget to configure JSF stuffs in web.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
version="3.0">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE</param-name>
<param-value>Development</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
<param-value>.xhtml</param-value>
</context-param>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
2) another option namespace can be wrong. "xmlns.jcp.org" is jsf 2.2 namescapes. are you sure to have jsf 2.2 dependencies? please try this sample:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">
<h:body>
Label Text:
<h:outputLabel value="Hello, world"/>
</h:body>
</html>
I made a new IceFace project and tried to run it on my local host, however I got the following error message:

i have tried switching the the welcome-file-list to
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file> <!--switched extension from html to xhtml -->
<welcome-file-list>
with this change my localhost will not crash, however I get a blank page (none of my JSF element shows up) I'm having a feeling it is because none of my JSf tags are getting parsed, however i don't really know where the problem is, can anyone please help me?
other information:
Im using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers
ICEFACES 3.3.0
Tomcat 3.0
Thanks.
update:
Changed my web.xml welcome-file-list to
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
and changed my servlet-mapping to
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
There is no crash now, but my JSF elements does not show up, i only get a blank page.
UPDATES:
Web.xml
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I have tried .jsf and .xhtml inside the url-pattern tag both no luck
index.jsp
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%
//response.sendRedirect("./index.jsf");
%>
<jsp:forward page="main.jsf"/>

after Getting my page to load up, it becomes blank, so i right click on my page and view source, and this is what i found...

Any ideas why this is happening?
When i add JSF related tags to web.xml nothing is working and it gives an error. If I remove XML tags in web.xml then all .jsp and servlets are working fine. I also added jsf-api.jar,jsf-impl.jar,jstl.jar and standard.jar to lib folder of my project still it is not working so i added these jar files to lib folder in tomcat too but still it is not working.

also in T/WEB-INF folder created folder lib, which has jsf-api-2.1.12.jar, jsf-impl-2.1.12.jar, jstl-1.2.jar files.
This works, but I don't used any POJO.
Instead of placing the files in the appBase folder manually, place a .war file and extract it through jar command then restarting the tomcat made my application work.
