Sorry for a vague title but it’s hard to be more specific.
Platform used:
Eclipse Helios, Tomcat 6, Maven 2.2.1
Background/ Problem: I am doing a pilot for a conversion from JSF 1.2 to JSF2. The server starts fine and loads the converted login page and when doing so it connects to the bean. However when the login form is submitted it never reaches the bean and goes 404 instead and leaves no strack trace behind. The page it’s supposed to navigate to is itself so it’s not a question about not reaching another page, you can basically press F5 and it comes back asking for username and password. I cant figure out why it goes 404.

This was resolved by removing the shale-view component from the Apache shale framework
