everything I put between <h:xxx> is invisible :0

Hi,

for some unknown reason everything I put betwen <h:xxx> tags is invisible, however it works fine inside eclipse's graphical preview tool.

here is how it's suposed to work :
first you acces index.html, a simple page with an input box and a submit button
you input your name and press submit, your name is transmitted to a bean then
forwarded to a JSP wich print it saying welcome

however, the submit button and input field are both insivible :/

index.html

jstl 1.1.2
taglib standard 1.1.2
geronimo_servlet_2.5_spec 1.2

thanks =D
but now it says that jsf-impl-2.1.7.jar is rotten :/

Could it be related to my project configuration?

#SOLUTION

dunno why but jsf-impl 2.1.7 is not compatible with tomcat7 I had to downgrade to 2.1.6.
also I still had the same problem, it was because I should have used xhtml instead of html AND
only put one set of
<servlet-mapping>
</servlet-mapping>

here is the working web.xml
