On Open Liberty 21.0.0.6., instead of presenting my welcome JSF page, my browser returns empty content when I point it to http://<host>:<port>/<ctxRoot>,

web.xml

<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="4.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_4_0.xsd"> <display-name>MyJSF</display-name> <servlet> <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app>

and a feature set of:

server.xml

<server> <featureManager> <feature>jaxrs-2.1</feature> <feature>cdi-2.0</feature> <feature>jpa-2.2</feature> <feature>jdbc-4.3</feature> <feature>jsf-2.3</feature> <feature>mpHealth-3.0</feature> </featureManager>

ADDITIONAL INFO

I also have some other stuff in my app like JPA and JAX-RS.

ROOT CAUSE - JAX-RS application with "/" application path

In my case the problem is that I had a JAX-RS Application configured to use: @ApplicationPath("/") which was colliding with my goal of having the "/" application path serve up the welcome-file.

SOLUTION

Move the JAX-RS app to its own path within the WAR, e.g:

import javax.ws.rs.core.Application; @ApplicationPath("/api") public class TestApp extends Application { }

THOUGHTS

This was easy to stumble into by taking an existing simple JAX-RS app using "/" as the app path, and then adding JSF to it. Then I thought I was having trouble with the JSF implementation.
