Can we have multiple faces-config.xml files in our JSF application?

I am working on a project which has grown bigger and lots of works still remains. The thing is, the entries in my faces-config.xml has already spanned some 600 lines, and I fear it will double up in coming months.

I was thinking if there might be some way so that I can have more than one faces-config.xml file in project, then I could have configured them according to my modules, which will ease to work with many folders.

Yes, you can

For example you can configure your web.xml as follows and divide it.

<context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
    <param-value>
        WEB-INF/module1/user-manage-beans.xml,
        WEB-INF/module1/user-navigation-rule.xml,
        WEB-INF/module2/patient-manage-beans.xml,
        WEB-INF/module2/patient-navigation-rule.xml
    </param-value>
</context-param>

The below code will work.

<context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.application.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
    <param-value>
        /WEB-INF/faces-config.xml,
        /WEB-INF/configs/customer-config.xml
    </param-value>
  </context-param>
