How does your webapp know what to do with .jsp files when you've mapped everything to .jsf? What if you used http://localhost:8080/faceproject/index.jsf ?

thanks gregg
i tried with index.jsf before but i have same error

[Gregg Bolinger]

Looking again, it looks like there is nothing in your tiles definition file that says anything about index.jsp. I'd have a look at this and pay particular attention to the very last part titled A few observations of note here.

Let me know...

Hi Gregg
Thanks again for your refrence. It work fine.

i added this tag to web.xml

<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
<param-value>.jsp</param-value>
</context-param>

but seems it is not necessary.Apache myfaces-tiles-example.war work fine without this tag.I don't know why.

cheers solmaz anvar
