JSP and Facelets same application issues.

Question

Hi guys,
I am trying to add Faceletes into an existing application using jsf, tiles and jsp.
I have been reading several articles about how to move into Facelets without success.
These are the urls I have reviewed.
http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Projects/FaceletsFAQ#How_do_I_use_Facelets_and_JSP_in
http://osdir.com/ml/java.facelets.user/2006-12/msg00064.htmlWill this work and how do I achieve it?
Thanks
Phil

Thanks for your reply. I agree with you that we need to move to Facelets. We have a large application and it is hard to sell a total rewrite today. All new development is to be done with Facelets.
My question is why I am having a problem using jsp with jsf tags together with facelets ?? I have followed the wiki advice. When I try to load the app I get a 404. There are no errors in the log files. We are using Jboss.
This is what I put in my web.xml.
<web-app>
  <context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
    <param-value>.jsp</param-value>
  </context-param>
  <!-- Facelets pages will use the .xhtml extension -->
  <context-param>
    <param-name>facelets.VIEW_MAPPINGS</param-name>
    <param-value>*.xhtml</param-value>
  </context-param>    
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <!-- Use prefix mapping for Facelets pages, e.g. http://localhost:8080/webapp/faces/mypage.xhtml -->
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>This is in my faces-config.xml
  <application>
    <locale-config>
      <default-locale>en</default-locale>
    </locale-config>
     <view-handler>com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler</view-handler>
  </application>Thanks
Phil
