How does *.jsf extension map to *.jsp extension and where it is mapped ?It is mapped in the web.xml.
If you add the following in your web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
<param-value>.xhtml</param-value>
</context-param>
The *.jsf will be mapped to the file with the same name, but xhtml as extention.
if you the javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX is not defined in the web.xml, the default suffix comes from the one of the constant of javax.faces.application.ViewHandler . This constant names DEFAULT_SUFFIX and equals to ".jsp"
