Newbie : Navigation trouble startpage.....

Question

Hi,
I am having some problems with navigating to jsf pages. I have the folowing configuration:
- JBOSS 3.2.x/Apache 4.1.29
- part of a web.xml :
    <context-param>
        <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
        <param-value>server</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>javax.faces.application.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <!-- Faces Servlet -->
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup> 1 </load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <!-- Faces Servlet Mapping -->
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>-- navigation rules of faces-config.xml
   <navigation-rule>
  <from-view-id>/*.jsf</from-view-id>
  <navigation-case>
   <to-view-id>/faces/start.jsp</to-view-id>
  </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>When I am trying to reach webserver:port/app/do.jsf I expected to be reach the folowing page: webserver:port/app/faces/overview.jsp.
Unfortunately I am getting the 404-error that page webserver:port/app/do.jsp does not exist.
What am I doing wrong????
Thanx,
Romano

Hi,
if you use the JSF RI 1.0, you have to change
    <context-param>
        <param-name>javax.faces.application.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>to
    <context-param>
        <param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>anyway, it will work in that case because this is the default name for faces-config.xml, but if you add new config files, they won't be founded.
