The <h:outputScript> (and <h:outputStylesheet>) loads resources from /resources folder. You need to put the scripts in that folder.
WebContent
|-- resources
| `-- js
| |-- jquery-1.6.2.js
| |-- myapp.validate.js
| |-- jquery.validate.js
| `-- jquery.maskedinput.js
|-- WEB-INF
:
Then the following script declarations should work:
<h:outputScript name="js/jquery-1.6.2.js" />
<h:outputScript name="js/jquery.validate.js" />
<h:outputScript name="js/jquery.maskedinput.js" />
<h:outputScript name="js/myapp.validate.js" />
(note that I omitted the library attribute, because the name "js" does not indicate a real library)
That your <script> approach failed is probably caused by using an incorrect relative path. You need to realize that resources are resolved relative to the current request URL and not to their path in the server side disk file system.
