Access Protected Pages in JSF

I have found a way to protect direct access fofr my .xhtml Pages by having this security Constraint in my web.xml:

<security-constraint>
        <display-name>Restrict raw XHTML Documents</display-name>
        <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>XHTML</web-resource-name>
            <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
        </web-resource-collection>
        <auth-constraint />
    </security-constraint>

however this seems to restrict My welcome file Listing in the web.xml which I have like this:

<welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>faces/index.xhtml</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

I also cannot Seem to access My Pages from beans in this method:

public void getBreakEvenProductPage(ComponentSystemEvent event) {
       FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        HttpServletRequest origRequest = (HttpServletRequest) context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
        String contextPath = origRequest.getContextPath();
        try {
            FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()
                    .redirect(contextPath + "/faces/BreakEvenProfProduct.xhtml");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            log.debug(Level.FATAL, e);
        }
    }

xhtml for above method:

<p:menuitem value="Break Even Rate Profit report" 
action="#{Navigation.getBreakEvenProductPage(event)}"/>

My problem is that I have come up with another Problem by trying to address a problem. How Can I access these pages with the security constraint in place??

You could try to change
<welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>faces/index.xhtml</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>
to
<welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>faces/index.jsf</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>
And make sure you have following lines in your web.xml
<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>*.xhtml</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
