JSF 2.2 <!doctype html> not working

Question

I have a jsf .xhtml file. If I use the doctype

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

everything works fine. But I'd like to have an HTML5-Site. When I add the

<!doctype html>

doctype I receive this error:

error on line 1 at column 2: StartTag: invalid element name

Whats the Problem?

Here is my web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.0" 
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">

        <param-value>.xhtml</param-value>
    </context-param>

</web-app>

Answer 1

Did you put

<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">

in your web.xml file?

Answer 2

You may consider the following changes:

Use <!DOCTYPE html> instead of <!doctype html> like mr mcwolf suggested
Map your JSF pages to *.xhtml instead of *.html unless you're already consistent with that choice but I see that you set your javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX to .xhtml and you are using .xhtml files... Further reading about why .xhtml

I'm not sure for web.xml but I now have the habit to use the xmlns.jcp.org namespace everywhere instead of java.sun.com including the web.xml header:

 <web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd" version="3.1" >
