I am just getting started with JSF 2.0 and I’m stuck on a problem at the very beginning. JSF tags are not parsed.
Below are some details. Hope someone can help because none of the related SO questions have been able to solve my problem.
hello.jsp
<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>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<f:view>
asd
<h:inputText value="asd" label="UserName"></h:inputText>
</f:view>
</h:body>
</html>
What I see when I navigate to http://localhost:8080/JSFDeneme/pages/hello.jsp
Only the plaintext asd
View source of http://localhost:8080/JSFDeneme/pages/hello.jsp
Exactly the same as the contents of hello.jsp

<description>
This parameter tells MyFaces if javascript code should be allowed in
the rendered HTML output.
If javascript is allowed, command_link anchors will have javascript code
that submits the corresponding form.
If javascript is not allowed, the state saving info and nested parameters
will be added as url parameters.
Default is 'true'</description>

<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<description>
If true, rendered HTML code will be formatted, so that it is 'human-readable'
i.e. additional line separators and whitespace will be written, that do not
influence the HTML code.
Default is 'true'</description>

<description>
If true, a javascript function will be rendered that is able to restore the
former vertical scroll on every request. Convenient feature if you have pages
with long lists and you do not want the browser page to always jump to the top
if you trigger a link or button action that stays on the same page.
Default is 'false'

What I have in WEB-INF/lib
- JSF 2.0 (Apache Myfaces JSF Core-2.0 API 2.0.2) – Eclipse downloaded that
- jstl-api-1.2.jar
- jstl-impl-1.2.jar
- primefaces-3.0 jars
What Tomcat prints to console when I restart the server and navigate to the page
There seems nothing odd and no mention of FacesServlet?

Any help appreciated.
This is not the right extension.
Since JSF 2.0, JSP is deprecated and replaced by Facelets. Facelets is a XML based view technology and supposed to be written in
.xhtmlfiles. However, you seem to already have used valid Facelets syntax in your JSP file. All you need to do is to just renamehello.jsptohello.xhtml.I also recommend to replace all URL patterns by a single URL pattern
*.xhtml.so that you can open it by http://localhost:8080/JSFDeneme/hello.xhtml without fiddling with virtual URLs.
I’m not sure what books/tutorials you’ve read which made you to use the JSP extension. Perhaps you were reading a mix of JSF 1.x and JSF 2.x targeted tutorials. You need to make sure that you’re reading JSF 2.x specific tutorials. At the bottom of our JSF wiki page you can find several JSF 2.x tutorial links.
