JSF project how to show xhtml file from one of its dependencies

Question

I'm trying to create a common error page that can be used across many projects.

I'm trying to create a separate project called ErrorProject. All of my other projects will have a Maven dependency to this ErrorProject.

Let's say that I have created project A and there is an error, how can I show an xhtml page from ErrorProject when using project A in the browser?

Currently I have this in the web.xml of project A and error.xhtml is a page in the ErrorProject.

<error-page>
    <exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type>
    <location>/error.xhtml</location>
</error-page>

<error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/error.xhtml</location>
</error-page>

I have no idea how to do it with Maven, but to the point, you need to tell it somehow to accomplish the structure as shown in this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8320486/structure-for-multiple-jsf-projects-with-shared-code/8320738#8320738 — BalusC, Jan 23 '13 at 18:18

Is it your error project a web project which creates a war? If it is just put the /error.xhtml into src/main/webapp. Then you can add the dependency and Maven will do an overlay, including it into main application's web root directory, so you can reference it from web.xml.

Thanks for that link. I didn't have `warruntime` in my dependency. – Catfish Jan 23 '13 at 20:27
