Get a grip. JSF sucks. Try Struts. If you get an answer, let me know. John

I tried to find a solution via google but without success. For some of our new websites we want to use JSF 2.0 as our main web-framework but most of our sites are standard JSP files which include some other files for navigation etc. Here is a small snippet: <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"; xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; version="2.0"> <jsp:directive.include file="/components/includes/header_core.jsp" /><!-- all the html-head information --> <body> <jsp:directive.include file="/components/includes/mainNav.jsp"/> <jsp:directive.include file="/components/includes/subNav.jsp"/> <div id="content"> <c:import url="/forms/easyForm.jsp"/> <!-- includes some simple html form fields --> </div> </body> </jsp:root> Our main purpose is to use the JSF 2.0 for our webforms, so I try like something like this: <body> <jsp:directive.include file="/components/includes/mainNav.jsp"/> <jsp:directive.include file="/components/includes/subNav.jsp"/> <div id="content"> <c:import url="/forms/jsfForm.xhtml"/> <!-- includes some jsf form fields --> </div> </body> Here is the form: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets";> <body> <f:view> <p>Bitte geben Sie die Daten ein:</p> <h:messages showDetail="true" showSummary="false" /> <h:form id="eingabe"> <h:panelGrid id="columns" columns="2"> <h:outputLabel value="Vorname" for="vorname" /> <h:inputText id="vorname" value="#{customer.vorname}" /> <h:outputLabel value="Nachname" for="name" /> <h:inputText id="name" value="#{customer.name}" required="true" /> <h:outputLabel value="Use Credit Card:" for="useCreditCard" /> <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="useCreditCard" value="#{customer.useCreditCard}" valueChangeListener="#{customer.useCreditCardChanged}" immediate="true" onclick="this.form.submit()" /> <h:outputLabel value="Credit Card Type:" for="ccType" rendered="#{customer.useCreditCard}" /> <h:inputText rendered="#{customer.useCreditCard}" id="ccType" value="#{customer.creditCardType}" required="#{customer.useCreditCard}" /> <h:outputLabel rendered="#{customer.useCreditCard}" value="Credit Card Number:" for="ccNumber" /> <h:inputText id="ccNumber" value="#{customer.creditCardNumber}" rendered="#{customer.useCreditCard}" required="#{customer.useCreditCard}" /> </h:panelGrid> <h:commandButton action="#{customer.save}" value="Speichern" id="btn_Speichern" /> <h:commandButton id="cancel" value="Cancel" immediate="true" action="/de/forms/cancelled.xhtml" /> </h:form> </f:view> </body> </html> and the web.xml: <!-- context Params --> <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>.jsp</param-value> </context-param> <context-param> <param-name>javax.faces.FACELETS_SUFFIX</param-name> <param-value>.xhtml</param-value> </context-param> <!-- Facelets pages will use the .xhtml extension --> <context-param> <param-name>facelets.VIEW_MAPPINGS</param-name> <param-value>/de/forms/*</param-value> </context-param> <!-- filter --> <!-- Servlet --> <servlet> <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <!-- ServletMapping --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> If I call the main-page I see the form, so far so good. But if the first action is fired, for example the checkbox or the submit button or cancel-button, I get the following error: HTTP: 404 /<%context%>/forms/jsfForm.jsp not found Here my question: Is it possible to use the JSF Forms with all the redirects and forwards in a JSP environment? I cannot get the form running. Do I have to implement the included jsp - files with JSF again? What would be the best way to build a surrounding file where I can change the c:import - part with different forms? Regards Fabian
