Redirection from root (index.html) on JSF RichFaces

Trying to redirect to admin.xhtml page when I access http://localhost:8080/CSPPortal/index.html. The root index.html contains 

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=pages/admin.jsf"/></head></html>

The problem is the url keeps going back to login.jsf which was declared in the index.html before.

Tried: adding an empty index.jsf page to the root folder. Tried mapping FacesServelet on *.xhtml old answer on SO. Tried removing <welcome-file-list> from web.xml. ALL trial FAILED!!!! Any suggestion about where things are going wrong would be really appreciated.

Here is web.xml content: 

<servlet>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<welcome-file-list>
 <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
 </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

Navigation rule in faces-config.xml is as follows, because I don't have any link for admin.xhtml yet: 

<navigation-rule>
 <from-view-id>/pages/login.xhtml</from-view-id>
 <navigation-case>
  <from-outcome>result</from-outcome>
  <to-view-id>/pages/result.xhtml</to-view-id>
 </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

Using, JBoss AS 7.1, RichFaces 4.0, JSF 2.0 (via JBoss Tools)

The externalContext approach works fine for me.

<h:body>
  #{facesContext.externalContext.response.sendRedirect('pages/admin.jsf')}
</h:body>

    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=index.jsf">

Since the URL is invoked by the browser, you need to resolve the url like this:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=#{request.contextPath}/pages/admin.jsf"/>
