Setting up JSF project with eclipseEE and maven

I'm trying to get started with JSF 2.2 in Eclipse with glassfish.

Here's what I did:

  1. new maven project with no archetype selected (skipped archetype selection), I configure the maven project with war as packaging

  2. I change the compiler level to 1.7

  3. In the project facets, I choose JavaServerFaces 2.2 Project, select glassfish as runtime, change Java to 1.7 and Dynamic Web Module to 3.1

  4. I add the following dependency:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.faces</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.8</version>
</dependency>

  5. I create an index.xhtml file in the webapp folder:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"
        >
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
      xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
      xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
        >

<h:head/>
<h:body>
    TEST
</h:body>
</html>

  6. I run the index.xhtml on the glassfish server and go to http://localhost:8080/JavaServerFaces/index.xhtml and see TEST.

  7. I create a JavaBean in the src/main/java folder:

    import javax.inject.Named;

@Named
public class TestBean {

  private String name;

  public TestBean() {
    name = "TESTNAME";
  }

  public String getName() {
    return name;
  }
  public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
}

  8. I access that bean in my index.xhtml

    <h:body>
     TEST 
     Welcome #{testbean.name}
</h:body>

  9. I run it on the server and get the following output:

TEST Welcome #{testbean.name}

I don't get any errors.

What did I miss or configure incorrectly? I didn't change anything in the web.xml or faces-config.xml because I read that they're optional.

Thanx a lot for help and tips!

In your web.xml you have to configure javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet as follows

<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>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

The access http://localhost:8080/JavaServerFaces/index.xhtml it should work.
