cant run the greeter sample from richfaces developers guide

[meghiddo]

I am trying to follow the tutorial here:

http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossrichfaces/freezone/docs/devguide/en/html/GettingStarted.html#DownloadingRichFaces

I do everything to the letter, and I am getting no compile errors or warnings. However when i try to go to http://localhost/greeter/index.jsp I get this:

HTTP Status 404 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message

description The requested resource () is not available.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache Tomcat/6.0.18



I have tried so many different things it's not worth trying to type them all. I am at a loss and going to be in a bad place if I cant get this fixed. I know there isn't much info to go on here but I dont know what else to type. Please tell me what other info you might need, or something. I dont know, Im about ready to give up at this point, this has been going on for hours now

Dear Meghiddo,

with the greeter example I had exactly the same problem. For me the reason was that my index.jsp file was in WEB-INF. Try to put your index.jsp one level higher, that is directly in the WebContent directory.

Everything that is in the WEB-INF is not directly accessible for a "client" (i.e. the web browser). Therefore the resource "index.jsp" was not available. I advise you to learn more about the structure of web applications in general.

Good luck!
