Tomcat error: Not Found in ExternalContext as a Resource

Question

I got this error when I tried to access my development site via http://localhost/home/index.html which redirects to http://localhost/home/views/main/index.xhtml:

<         


        

Answer 1

I have no idea how your code which is responsible for the redirect look like, but

/views/main/index*.xhtml

definitely doesn't look right. What is that asterisk doing there? Fix the code accordingly that this asterisk isn't emitted in the view ID anymore.

Answer 2

I solved the problem: It was just a config issue with web.xml.

I declared webapp version as 2.0 in web.xml instead of 3.0 for Tomcat 7.
