I have gone through lots of post regarding this exception and they all have mentioned about bean properties and their getters/setters which I have done correctly .
Here is my code:

2) My bean class - Navigator.java
import javax.faces.bean.*;

public class Navigator {

public String getPages() {
return pages;
}
public void setPages(String pages) {
this.pages = pages;

<!-- Empty for now. There are many uses for faces-config.xml, but
the most common are navigation rules (instead of having
the return value of the "action" method be the base filename),
bean declarations (instead of using #ManagedBean), and
properties files (aka resource bundles).
If you are not using faces-config.xml, it is perfectly legal
to omit the file entirely. But, most people prefer to have
a blank one already in their project for later use.

Please help me out on this.

Answer 1

try equals for String
public String choosePage()
{
if(pages.equals("page1")){
return "page1";
} else if(pages.equals("page2")){
return "page2";
} else {
return "page3";
}
}

Answer 2

Try with the below changes.
Change filename from index.html to index.xhtml and update the same file name as mentioned below.
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
Happy coding!
