    You need to make sure that the request URL (as you enter in browser address bar) matches the url-pattern of the FacesServlet. I.e. do not open the page by http://example.com/context/page.xhtml, but open it by http://example.com/context/page.jsf. Otherwise the FacesServlet will not be invoked and your XHTML page with JSF components will not be parsed in any way. You’ll only see “plain HTML” tags like <fieldset> and so on in the browser and you will see the JSF source code unchanged in the returned HTML source when you do a View Source in browser.
