Customize how the url looks in java web application

Question

Im using:

NetBeans
Maven web application
Java server faces
Primefaces

To navigate betwen pages im using:

            <p:menu>
                <p:submenu label="Menu">
                    <p:menuitem value="example 1 (google)"  outcome="googlePage" />
                    <p:menuitem value="Upload File's" outcome="uploadFiles" />
                    <p:menuitem value="example 3 (go to START)" outcome="index" />
                </p:submenu>
            </p:menu>

The 1st url looks like:

http://localhost:8080/projectName/

and than, when i want to go to other page the url is not looking good:

http://localhost:8080/projectName/faces/googlePage.xhtml

and the same for index page:

http://localhost:8080/projectName/faces/index.xhtml

what i need to do to make it more frendly?

Can you show what is "friendly"? Give some example of what you "desire" and we will try help. — Cold, Oct 09 '14 at 13:46
someting like this: localhost:8080/index || localhost:8080/index/somePage || i mean without this "faces" and project name. and why when i start my project the url is short and than when i want back to the start form is longer. — DarkMisha, Oct 09 '14 at 14:12

I believe you can use Prettyfaces for that.

PrettyFaces is an OpenSource URL-rewriting library with enhanced support for JavaServer Faces – JSF 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0 – enabling creation of bookmark-able, pretty URLs. PrettyFaces solves the “RESTful URL” problem elegantly, including features such as: page-load actions, seamless integration with faces navigation, dynamic view-id assignment, managed parameter parsing, and configuration-free compatibility with other web frameworks.
