.seam files

[breako]

HI,
When I try to access my application I get the following error message?

(/myapp/pages/login/login.seam) is not available.

when I navigate through my exploded directory structure I cannot see it.
What are these seam files?
When are they generated?
Any clues as to why it is not being generated?
Many thanks
Jim

That's just a mapping. Usually you have .xhtml files, but in the web.xml you say that the web server shall simulate another extension.

In traditional JSF it's often like that:
Original file: whatever.jsp
Acessible via: whatever.faces or faces/whatever (those are two often used ways)

Got the idea? ;)

Thanks. What are these files for? Why are they needed?
