I have a Java EE App that has JSF2 + PrettyFaces + Facelets + EJB3 + EclipseLink.
I’m continually running into an IllegalStateException as stated above, due to some inconsistencies in the JSF2 + Faceletes rendering model to work along with PrettyFaces and h:link tag.
I removed all my old JSTL tags and also all the commandLink tags, according to good practices when using JSF2 + Faceletes.

This happens whenever I navigate from one XHTML page to another via
<h:link outcome="pretty:viewContactUs" styleClass="nav6">
#{msg['contactUs']}
</h:link>
in pretty-faces.xml
<url-mapping id="viewContactUs">
<pattern value="/contactUs/" />
<view-id value="contactUs.faces" />
<action>#{commentsMB.openContactUs}</action>
</url-mapping>
in CommentsMB Managed Bean:
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class CommentsMB extends UserCrudMB<Comments, Integer> {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@EJB(mappedName="ejb/CommentsService")
private CommentsServiceBeanLocal commentsService;
// ... Code
public String openContactUs() {
this.entity = new Comments();
return NavigationViews.VIEW_CONTACT_US;
}
}
in faces-config.xml:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/*</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>contactUs</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/pages/contactUs.xhtml</to-view-id>
<redirect /></navigation-case>
in contactUs.xhtml:
<div class="form_row">
<h:link id="commentsSave" outcome="pretty:commentsSave" styleClass="contact">
#{msg.send}
</h:link>
</div>
The error happens just when I click the commentsSave Button. It gives: IllegalStateException: PWC3990: getWriter() has already been called for this response.
the pretty-config.xml for commentsSave URL mapping:
<url-mapping id="commentsSave">
<pattern value="/comments/save/" />
<view-id value="contactUs.faces" />
<action>#{commentsMB.save}</action>
</url-mapping>
CommentsMB save action signature:
public String save() {
return save(this.getEntity());
}
The commentsMB.save Bean action is not called and I get a page not found error with the exception thrown in the logs.

Seems that JSF is interpreting the navigation as a .jsp altough I use XHTML only.
Could someone help me figure out what am I doing wrong ? This is my major issue since I began using JSF2 + Facelets.
After considering answers I came up with the final solution so I will post here for others to understand:
Changed the URL mappings in pretty-faces.xml for all JSF resources to be fully-qualified:
for example if contactUs.xhtml is under /pages/ then the mapping would be:
Removed all the JSF navigation rules from faces-config.xml. For example rules like:
would be removed or commented out. After doing this the actual navigation mappings would be only present in pretty-config.xml and will work correctly with the PrettyFaces Filter.
