Following the netbeans 6.8 JSF tutorial, form not displaying - jsf

As per title. I'm following the JavaServer Faces 2.0 tutorial (found here) - search for "To declare these components" to find roughly where I'm at.
Everthing works up until a certain point, however when I'm told to comment out the html form component, and uncomment the JSF form component, nothing displays. If I recomment out the JSF form and use the html one instead, it works fine. As far as I can see, I've followed the tutorial exactly. Any ideas?
For the record, this is what my index.xhtml looks like:
<!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">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<link href="css/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<!--<h:outputStylesheet name="css/stylesheet.css" />-->
<title>Greeting</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mainContainer">
<div id="left" class="subContainer greyBox">
<h4>Hi, my name is Duke!</h4>
<h5>I'm thinking of a number
<br/>
between
<span class="highlight">1</span> and
<span class="highlight">10</span>.</h5>
<h5>Can you guess it?</h5>
<!--<form action="response.xhtml">
<input type="text" size="2" maxlength="2" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>-->
<h:form>
<h:inputText size="2" maxlength="2" value="#{UserNumberBean.userNumber}" />
<h:commandButton id="submit" value="submit" action="response" />
</h:form>
</div>
<div id="right" class="subContainer">
<img src="duke.png" alt="Duke waving" />
<!--<h:graphicImage url="/duke.png" alt="Duke waving" />-->
</div>
</div>
</body>

make sure that your web.xml says:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>faces/index.xhtml</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

Question Regarding Glassfish WAR-Deployment Problem

I am using Glassfish 5.0.1/4.1.1 for a Webproject (JSP, JSF, Bootsfaces, JPA). There I encountered the problem, that Glassfish is not allways building the Website correctly.
Sometimes it is build normally how it should be (Pic 1) and sometimes there are elements missing (Pic 2). This does even happen when deploying the same WAR-File.
Can anyone help with this problem?

Problems on web browser with xthml file

I have a login.xhtml file as initial page in a jsf app.

JSF Redirect without Managed Bean

I am trying to use JSF as a pure front-end tool. Is it possible for me to submit a form and based on the outcome of that form redirect to a different page? In this case, I have a back-end service that returns the outcome in the result variable. Depending on "result.success", I want to navigate to the appropriate page/view. Here is my JSF source code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:r="http://mycustomtags.com/tags"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">
<head>
<r:myService service="adminlogin" namespace="result" params='{"dummy":"Dummy Value"}' />
</head>
<body>
#{result}
<f:viewParam name="redirectPage" value='#{(result.success)?"success.xhtml?faces-redirect=true" : "sample-login.xhtml?IncludeViewParams=true"}' />
output:#{redirectPage}
<h:form method="post" action="sample-login.xhtml">
<input name="token" type="hidden" class="input-block-level" value="34857349850" />
<input name="email" type="text" class="input-block-level" placeholder="email" />
<input name="password" type="password" class="input-block-level" placeholder="password" />
<h:commandButton action="#{redirectPage}" value="Login" />
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
I need to navigate to success.xhtml. I don't want to use "faces-config.xml". Any ideas? Here is my JSF code. By the way, this is does not work because action parameter in "h:commandButton" expects a MethodExpression.

a4j:jsFunction not working

I am pretty new to JSF and RichFaces. I am using RichFaces 4.X and JSF 2.0. I have created a sample page, where my command button is called a a4j button, but it does not seem to be working. Here is my page. Can someone please help

</h:form>

</div>

The actual problem is in your command button
<a4j:commandButton id="loginButton" value="Sign In" action="login();"
styleClass="sign-btn" />
The "action" attribute requires an EL expression to an action method that will be executed on the server when the button is pressed or a navigation rule. The purpose of a4j:jsFunction is to perform an ajax request from javascript call and the purpose of a4j:commandButton is to perform an ajax request when it's pressed. In your case you don't actually need a4j:jsFunction. Just remove it and put its the attributes on the a4j:commandButton like this:
<a4j:commandButton id="loginButton" value="Sign In"
action="#{loginBean.validateUser}" onbegin="showProgressBar();"
oncomplete="hideProgressBar();" styleClass="sign-btn" />

no "head" component has been defined

I want to implement JSF page with AJAX. This is the code of the JSF page:

</div>
</div>
</h:body>
</html>
When I load the page I get this error:
One or more resources have the target of "head", but no "head" component has been defined within the view.
This is the code of the header:

</html>
The Ajax is not working and this error message appears when I load the page. Maybe I'm missing something to add. How I can fix the code?
Best wishes

Well, I guess you need to edit your header.xhtml like this
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<ui:composition>
<title>index</title>
<h:head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"
media="screen"/>
<script>....
</script>
</h:head>
Make sure that you use <h:head> - and not <head>.
Try to put <ui:composition> inside <html> and around its content in header.xhtml.
