I have a simple JSF2 app using Facelets. My web.xml is set as follows:-

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I want to set the app to default to the welcome page which is /pages/login.xhtml. I can't seem to get the welcome-file setting to pick up this when going to the context root in the browser.

My web.xml welcome setting is as follows:-

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/pages/login.jsf</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

How do I force the welcome-page to goto the login page and ensure it goes through the faces servlet?

If I use the following the page displays but it hasn't gone through the faces servlet and so faces components aren't rendered:-

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>pages/login.xhtml</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

Any help appreciated!
