How to make xhtml page work with JSF?

Anyone knows why my xhtml page does not work with its named bean?

I get Welcome #{indexBean.userName} in the browser. IndexBean is @Named, @SessionScoped and implements Serializable.

index.xhtml

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html lang="en"

<h:head>
    <h:outputStylesheet library="css" name="default.css"/>
    <title>Admin Panel</title>
</h:head>

<h:body>
<h:form>
    <h2>Welcome #{indexBean.userName}</h2>
</h:form>
</h:body>

</html>

web.xml

Probably you are calling your page without the FacesServlet handling it.

You should include /faces/ before your page name url

localhost:8080/WebAdmin/faces/index.xhtml

First check the package for the annotations: javax.inject.Named and javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped. Second If you'r using JEE 6 and because you're using CDI, you need to activate the CDI adding the file WEB-INF/beans.xml, this file can be empty.

XHTML files are only treated as JSF views if you access them via the FacesServlet. Your FacesServlet is mapped to:

<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>

So for a file foo/bar.xhtml your would have to access it via the URL http://host/app/faces/foo/bar.xhtml.

Consider changing the mapping to:

<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>

Assumes all XHTML files in the app are JSF views.
