Error:The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using style sheet

Hi,
I have a templatepage.xhtml

and my index page is

<html>
<head> </head>
<body>
<%-- <jsp:forward page="faces/ICEfacesPage1.xhtml" /> --%>
<jsp:forward page="faces/templatepage.xhtml" />
</body>
</html>

contents of ICEfacesPage1.xhtml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    </h:head>
    <h:body style="height: 318px; ">

</h:body>
</html>

When i run the application i get following error.

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Cannot have multiple DOCTYPE declarations. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:8080/test/'. Line 3, Position 11

I set the ie security settings Internet options -> Security, you'll see an option
"access data sources across domains". as mentioned in a post http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060812193550AAv5emQ
But it did not work.

Please suggest me what could be possible fixes.

If I add

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

a file is generated with the name of project containing the code written in templatepage.xhtml. Image Attached

and if I remove

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

from all the xhtml page. and leave only in headerpage.xhtml it shows the right behavior.

I am unable to understand this phenomena.

JSF doesn't work with HTML (or xhtml). It works with JSF View templates. Depending on how things are set up, JSF may generate HTML or XHTML, but one of the advantages of JSF is that the renderers are plug-replaceable components. You could just as easily render a PDF.

The confusion here is because ".xhtml" is the popular file extension for Facelets templates, but Facelets templates aren't (X)HTML, they're JSF XML.

The Facelets renderer is generating an XHTML doctype and you're providing one manually, and that's one more DOCTYPE than the web browser wants to see.

Thank you tim for the reply .

I only got this .

Other points have gone over my head.

I removed all the the doctype line and added

in web.xml

and problem is fixed. But i am interested to understand other points as well. i am new to jsf,icefacses.

A lot of what I say goes over people's heads. Don't worry about it, as long as you get your problem solved.
