JSF tag not rendered after navigation

Question

I am actually trying to do a web application using JSF, and I have some issue with the rendering in the web browser.

Here is the context :

I have an index.xhtml page which displays correctly the JSF tags, and I want to navigate to another through a simple hyperlink.

<h:outputLink  value="/Advisor/AddClient.xhtml">
       <h:outputText value="Add a client" />   </h:outputLink>

But then, the AddClient page doesn't displays the result of the JSF tags as it should.

Here is the addclient file :

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"      
      xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" 
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
      xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core">
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
    </head>
    <h:body>
    <ui:composition template="template.xhtml">
        <script type="text/javascript">
            <!-- a validation script used in py page -->
        </script>


        <h:panelGroup layout="block" rendered="#{loginBean.isLogged}">
            <h:form id="formu" onsubmit="return validation()">
                <table>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            First name :
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <h:inputText id="txtFName" value="#{clientCreationBean.fname}"/>                            
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            Last name :
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <h:inputText id="txtLName" value="#{clientCreationBean.lname}"/>                           
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            E-Mail :
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <h:inputText id="txtEmail" value="#{clientCreationBean.email}"/>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            Address :
                        </td>
                        <td>
                             <h:inputText id="txtAddress" value="#{clientCreationBean.address}"/>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            Zip code :
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <h:inputText id="txtZip" value="#{clientCreationBean.zip}"/>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            City :
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <h:inputText id="txtCity" value="#{clientCreationBean.city}"/>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            Phone :
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <h:inputText id="txtPhone" value="#{clientCreationBean.phone}"/>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
                <h:commandButton action="#{clientCreationBean.CreateClient()}" value="Ajouter"/>
            </h:form>
          </h:panelGroup>



    </ui:composition>
    </h:body>
</html>

and here is my web.xml :

 <context-param>
        <param-name>javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE</param-name>
        <param-value>Development</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
        <param-value>.xhtml</param-value>   
    </context-param>

    <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>/faces/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>
            30
        </session-timeout>
    </session-config>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>faces/index.xhtml</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

Any idea of why the JSF is not interpreted in my others pages?

UPDATE :

I got AddClient to work like this :

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

Moving AddClient.xhtml to the same folder than Index.xhtml (and not in the "Advisor" folder anymore), and changing my link to :

<h:outputLink  value="AddClient.xhtml">
    <h:outputText value="Ajouter un client" />
 </h:outputLink>

But when I let the page in the Advisor folder with a link poiting at /Advisor/AddClient.xhtml, it doesn't work. why?

Thanks,

Your link doesn't match the faces servlet mapping:

<h:outputLink  value="/Advisor/AddClient.xhtml">

will not match the pattern:

/faces/*

That's why the FacesServlet will not be invoked and your JSF tags are not processed.

You can either change the link to:

<h:outputLink  value="/faces/Advisor/AddClient.xhtml">

or better use the .xhtml suffix mapping to in your web.xml :

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