I have started a Spring-JSF application. I've broken down this application into some separated modules that should be archived and deployed separately as well. For example:

  1. A main module which handles the login, page templates, loading and showing the menu and so on.
  2. Another module handles the business specific views and logic, for instance: Employee.xhtml

So after the user passes the authentication, in the index page, he/she want to navigate to Employee.xhtml page which is in the second module (So it is deployed on tomcat in the separate war file).

In this situation, when I deploy both WAR files on tomcat, main application cannot find the Employee.xhtml in the second WAR file, or something like this. I'm getting this error: 

    java.io.FileNotFoundException: Facelet /pages/Employee.xhtml not found at: jndi:/localhost/pages/Employee.xhtml
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory._createFacelet(DefaultFaceletFactory.java:387)
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory.access$000(DefaultFaceletFactory.java:57)
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory$1.newInstance(DefaultFaceletFactory.java:124)
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory$1.newInstance(DefaultFaceletFactory.java:121)
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.impl.FaceletCacheImpl.getFacelet(FaceletCacheImpl.java:84)
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.impl.FaceletCacheImpl.getFacelet(FaceletCacheImpl.java:51)
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletFactory.getFacelet(DefaultFaceletFactory.java:278)
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.impl.DefaultFacelet.include(DefaultFacelet.java:574)
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.impl.DefaultFacelet.include(DefaultFacelet.java:553)
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.impl.DefaultFaceletContext.includeFacelet(DefaultFaceletContext.java:240)
        org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.tag.ui.IncludeHandler.apply(IncludeHandler.java:228)
        javax.faces.view.facelets.DelegatingMetaTagHandler.applyNextHandler(DelegatingMetaTagHandler.java:55)
...

Also I'm not navigating between these two applications. That is I'm trying to include a page from second war file in the center area of a page in the first main war file.

Any ideas?! Any help would be appreciated.

The way to do this is no different than navigating to e.g. www.google.com. or in other words, you cannot use the way you'd navigate within a jsf application to navigate between two applications

  • Dear Kukeltje, thanks for the your contribution, but actually my problem is somehow different from navigating to another link, because I want to include another page(from second WAR file) into a page which resides in first WAR file. To be specific, I directly used facelets tag. – STaefi May 03 '15 at 04:31
  • Sorry I misunderstood (and your subject/title is wrong). Then the duplicate is this one:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11965157/uiinclude-can-not-include-pages-with-different-server-context – Kukeltje May 03 '15 at 08:15
  • Really thanks kukeltje, it's very akin to my situation. I will give it a try. – STaefi May 03 '15 at 09:41
