JSF pages not being executed except index.xhtml

I'm learning Java web and jsf with primefaces.

My project currently has a single index.xhtml file and when I access localhost:8080/appname/ index.xhtml is executed correctly but when I access localhost:8080/appname/index.xhtml the application server returns the jsf source code.

Aditionally, any xhtml file on the faces/ directory will return an error like:

com.sun.faces.context.FacesFileNotFoundException: /face.xhtml Not Found in ExternalContext as a Resource
at com.sun.faces.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory.resolveURL(DefaultFaceletFactory.java:274)
at com.sun.faces.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory.resolveURL(DefaultFaceletFactory.java:357)
at com.sun.faces.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory.getMetadataFacelet(DefaultFaceletFactory.java:250)
at com.sun.faces.application.view.ViewMetadataImpl.createMetadataView(ViewMetadataImpl.java:113)
at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.RestoreViewPhase.execute(RestoreViewPhase.java:241)
at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.Phase.doPhase(Phase.java:101)

/index.xhtml:

You need to call the FacesServlet, as your mapping inside the web.xml shows

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Try accessing the page with faces in the URL

localhost:8080/appname/faces/index.xhtml

As I can see that you have a folder called faces. You must change this folder name as it is reserved to the servlet url mapping.

Even if you try to access face.xhtml by calling localhost:8080/appname/faces/faces/index.xhtml you would fail to reach it.

Let's say that you changed to folder 'faces' into webFaces then you would access the page

localhost:8080/appname/faces/webFaces/index.xhtml

Hope that helps.
