I have a simple JSF application with 2 .xhtml files. When I run the application, the 1st page displayed is welcome.xhtml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head>
<title>Final Project</title>
</h:head>
<h:body bgcolor="white">
<div align="center" style="border:5px outset blue;">Welcome to the Product         Inventory     Application</div>
<br></br>
<br></br>
    <h:commandButton value="View All Products" action="allProducts"/>
</h:body>

It displays fine, but when I press the View All Products button, I expect it to display the allProducts.xhtml facelet. But when I click the button, nothing happens at all, no exception or anything. The allProducts.xhtml page is just:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<h:body bgcolor="white">

    The problem is that an UICommand (<h:commandButton>, <h:commandLink> and similars) must be inside a form i.e. <h:form>. Change your welcome.xhtml page to:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head>
<title>Final Project</title>
</h:head>
<h:body bgcolor="white">
<div align="center" style="border:5px outset blue;">Welcome to the Product         Inventory     Application</div>
<br></br>
<br></br>
    <h:form>
        <h:commandButton value="View All Products" action="allProducts"/>
    </h:form>
</h:body>
