Using h:outputStylesheet I can embed CSS resources in the HTML head section, but how can I build a <link> for a favicon image resource which renders HTML like in this example:

HTML output:

<head>
... 
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png" />
...
</head>

The image resource is located in <web>/resources/images.

If I use direct HTML code in the JSF template like href="/resources/images/favicon.png" the resource is not found – navigating to /resources/images/favicon.png leads to the error

/resources/images/favicon.png/index.jsf
not found

(I have set index.jsf as index page in web.xml which might explain this path)

    Your webapp is apparently running on a non-empty context path. The leading slash / brings you to the domain root. Use #{request.contextPath} to dynamically inline the context path.

    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="#{request.contextPath}/resources/images/favicon.png" />

    (note that I fixed the rel as well to make it crossbrowser compatible)
