Firefox working, but not with IE [message #474184] Tue, 15 May 2007 09:39 Go to next message

My JSF application, a war packed with WTP and applied to JBoss
jboss-4.2.0.CR2 (i tried v4.0.5, too), does well work when viewed with
Firefox. However when viewed in Internet Explorer, the ".faces" files
entered in the address bar seem to be not processed by the JSP or JSF
processor, instead I get the pure contents from the mapped ".jsp" file,
displayed as XML in the IE window.
(I have deployed the Web application locally and e.g. access
http://localhost:8080/login.faces. I have Windows XP).

Any idea?

Hi John,

Could you try the same test but with no JSF in the application? That is,
can you try creating a similar simple application that is just using JSPs
with no JSF? This will help us isolate whether this is a general problem
or one specific to JSF.


Thanks,

Cameron

I figured out that using .jsf as files extension and not .faces in the
url (with changing the url-pattern in web.xml from *.faces to *.jsf,
too) solved the problem! The only question now is: WHY??

In the not-working case at Internet Explorer , Internet Explorer still
displays the correct HTML as I view the page source, but in the Browser
its not interpreted as HTML but as XML. So why is it interpreted as HTML
by IE when I use .jsf instead of .faces? Is there a fix list of
allowed extensions build into Internet Explorer ? (I would not wonder if
this is the case..)

Thanks

Ok the problem is solved, I have to add the content type, so this works now:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"
xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" version="2.0">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"></jsp:directive.page>
<html...
