My JSF 2.0 basic (optional) web.xml structure is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app … version="2.5">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE</param-name>
<param-value>Development</param-value>
</context-param>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app
So if I call /mypage.jsf I get mypage.xhtml and that's good but:
how can I have a behaviour like "/mypage" => mypage.xhtml (without *.jsf extension) ?
I'm sure I can do it, I saw that somewhere I don't remember.
What's the url pattern to associate an extension-less uri to jsf mapping?
Thank you

I was able to render all of my JSF components.
I am working on a web project that both Spring MVC 3.1.1 and Primefaces 3.4.2 are mixed together. Spring MVC is used to serve REST services(using URL annotations) and PrimeFaces is used for user interfaces. So naturally, I have one configuration file for both of these components.
Here is my problem:
index.xhtml is already set as welcome file in web.xml but I can't access the home page through http://localhost:8080/SampleWebApplication/
But I can access the home page through http://localhost:8080/SampleWebApplication/index.xhtml
What I want to achieve is I want to set index.xhtml file as the project's welcome file so that when the user enters http://localhost:8080/SampleWebApplication/ the user must be directed to the welcome page.
This is my web.xml file:

The welcome file request of / matches your Spring MVC servlet which is mapped on / and is therefore never hitting the JSF servlet which is mapped on *.xhtml.
You need to map your Spring MVC servlet on a more specific URL pattern. E.g. /rest/* or /api/* or whatever folder covers all those REST service resources. Once done that, the JSF servlet will be hit.
I do not understand why I am getting 404 error while trying to access my application
my index.xhtml is in (Web Content)
In my log I have no error
I created my project using eclipse : web dynamic project :

The problem is that you have set the mapping of the Faces Servlet as /faces/* so in order to access to your page and be parsed by this servlet you must access to it like
http://localhost:8080/jsf_getting_started/faces/index.xhtml
But the problem with the /faces/* configuration is that the Faces Servlet will even process non-JSF resources like images, JS, CSS scripts, etc.
The best solution would be to change the mapping to *.xhtml and remove all the pages in welcome file list to have only index.xhtml. Your web.xml file will look like this (note that I'm just posting the changes made on the parts described in this answer):
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file>
<!-- no need of the other files... -->
</welcome-file-list>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<!-- The relevant URL mapping when using Facelets and JSF -->
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
After changing the web.xml file, rebuild your project, make sure to undeploy it from Tomcat Server and try again.
You need to add index.xhtml in the welcome-file-list.
i have a command link in my page which looks like:
<h:commandLink value="Add user" action="add?faces-redirect=true" />
and when i click it, it goes to url:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/faces/add.xhtml
but i want the url to be:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/add
how to do that ?
i am using spring 3, jsf 2

You can use PrettyFaces for it.
I am using the ?faces-redirect=true in my JSF2, since I would like to redirect the user so the URL will be changed.
In JSF1.2 I added </redirect> in faces-config.
In JSF2 I have to add to my url return home?faces-redirect=true.
The problem is that I see faces-redirect=2 in the URL, what I haven't seen in JSF1.2 when I used </redirect>
How can I use faces-redirect in actions without displaying it in the browser URL?

This looks all fine. Something else is disturbing it. Maybe Spring? I don't do Spring so I can't tell anything about it. At least, it works fine here with Mojarra 2.0.2 + PrimeFaces 2.1 + Tomcat 6.0.24.
To nail this problem down anyway, consider creating a brand new web project with only jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar files in the /WEB-INF/lib and two simple XHTML files with a <h:commandButton outcome="otherfile?faces-redirect=true" />. Then add libraries/components/mappings step by step until you get the same setup as the original project. Test the working of faces-redirect during every step. Keep track of what you've added so that you know what may have caused this problem.
That's not what I'm experiencing with Mojarra (the RI). If I return the following in a managed bean:
return "somepage" + "?faces-redirect=true";
JSF redirects to the target somepage view and the URL doesn't include the ?faces-redirect=true.
What implementation are you using?
