Navigation problems with JSF and servlet

[Futaleufu_John]

I have a Flash chart in a JSF page (Manage_Schedules.jsp). The chart contains
links to a servlet (FindJobsServlet) that navigates to another JSF page
(Find_Jobs.jsp). When I click the link the JSF page displays fine. The
address bar shows
"http://localhost:8080/FindJobsServlet?jobId=2681&returnTo=manage_schedules".
When I click a button on the Find_Jobs JSF page the button's action method
doesn't execute. Instead I get a 404 error:

The requested resource (/FindJobsServlet/Find_Jobs.jsp) is not
available.

The requested resource should be /Find_Jobs.jsp.

So I can navigate from a JSF page to a servlet and from a servlet to a JSF
page but then navigation to another JSF page fails.

How do I fix this?

Is "FindJobsServlet" the name of your JSF application?

It looks like a stand-alone servlet, in which case you would need to use
the path name of the jsf app. Generally it is of the form
"myProject/faces/Find_Jobs.jsp" unless you defined it differently in
your web.xml file.

The servlet is part of the JSF application.

I can navigate from a JSF page to the servlet. I can navigate from the
servlet to another JSF page using the following code in the servlet:

protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
LifecycleFactory lifecycleFactory =
(LifecycleFactory)FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.LIFECYCLE_FACTORY);
Lifecycle lifecycle =
lifecycleFactory.getLifecycle(LifecycleFactory.DEFAULT_LIFECYCLE);
FacesContextFactory facesContextFactory =
(FacesContextFactory)FactoryFinder.
getFactory(FactoryFinder.FACES_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
FacesContext facesContext =
facesContextFactory.getFacesContext(getServletContext(), request, response,
lifecycle);
Application application = facesContext.getApplication();
ViewHandler viewHandler = application.getViewHandler();
String viewId = "/Manage_Schedules.jsp";
UIViewRoot view = viewHandler.createView(facesContext, viewId);
facesContext.setViewRoot(view);
String outcome = "find_jobs";
NavigationHandler navigationHandler =
application.getNavigationHandler();
navigationHandler.handleNavigation(facesContext, null, outcome);
lifecycle.render(facesContext);
}

Problems start when I try to navigate from Find_Jobs.jsp to another JSF page
or to execute an action handler in Find_Jobs.jsp.

That's when I get the unavailable resource error.

It appears that the context's URI gets out of whack.

Here are relevant entries in web.xml.

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>FindJobsServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/FindJobsServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
