JSF 2 form action navigation not working

Question

Im just testing out JSF 2 with Primefaces and are setting up a basic test-form. The goal is to submit the form and then send the user to a page listing all the entries.

But all that happens if i click "Add" button is that my webapp tries to navigate to page: "//pages/index.xhtml", and there nothing is found...

Any ideas?? I have followed tutorials pretty much, but cant see where i got it wrong.. I have mapped the commandbutton to the ManagedBean-method "addUser". The addUser method returns "success", and i have set up "success" to go to success.xhtml..

I have spent 3 hours debugging this now and i'm about to go crazy, so any help would be greatly appriciated...

index.xhtml:

<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:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
    <h:head><title>Welcome to OTV_JSF_Spring_Hibernate_Project</title></h:head>
    <h:body>
        <h:form>
          <table>
              <tr>...</tr>
              <tr>
                 <td><p:commandButton id="addUser" value="Add" action="#{userMB.addUser}" ajax="false"/></td>
                 <td><p:commandButton id="reset" value="Reset" action="#{userMB.reset}" ajax="false"/></td>
              </tr>
          </table>
      </h:form>
    </h:body>
</html>

userMB:

@ManagedBean(name = "userMB")
@RequestScoped
public class UserManagedBean implements Serializable {
    private static final String SUCCESS = "success";
    private static final String ERROR = "error";
    /* .... */

    public String addUser() {
        return SUCCESS;
    }

I think you have to write in this way:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faces-config
        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-facesconfig_2_0.xsd"
        version="2.0">

    <!-- JSF and Spring are integrated -->
    <application>
        <el-resolver>
            org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver
        </el-resolver>
    </application>

    <!-- configuration of navigation rules -->
    <navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>pages/index.xhtml</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>pages/success.xhtml</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>error</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>pages/error.xhtml</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>

</faces-config>
