JSF tooling adds an Faces Servlet declaration with no servlet mappings on project import

        Details

        • Steps to Reproduce:
          Hide

          Duplicate by creating a project from the JBoss Java EE 6 webapp archetype (http://tinyurl.com/gojavaee) and import it as a Maven project. Make sure you have the JBoss Tools auto-detection support for JSF installed. You'll see that the web.xml is overwritten...but was fine how it was.

          Remove the Faces Servlet declaration after JSF configurator adds it.

          Remove the Faces Servlet declaration after JSF configurator adds it.

          Description

          When importing a Java EE 6 webapp that contains a faces-config.xml descriptor, the JSF tooling unnecessarily adds a Faces Servlet declaration to the web.xml. The Faces Servlet is not required in Java EE 6 (at least on JBoss AS and GlassFish). What's worse, the Servlet is added with no mappings, so it completely breaks JSF.

              I can't reproduce the issue either using the JBT 3.3.0 trunk or JBT 3.2 stable branch.

              The Maven JSF Configurator isn't called if a project already contains the JSF facet.
              If you want to reproduce the problem using an existing project, you need to do the following:

              • check the "web.xml for JSF 2.0 facet" preference
              • right click the project and call Properties>Project Facets
              • delete the JSF facet
              • right-click the project and call Maven>Update Project Configuration

              or

              • create a new project using the jboss-jee6-webapp archetype
              • check the "web.xml for JSF 2.0 facet" preference
              • import the project using the Import>Existing Maven Projects action

              If after these steps the web.xml is still unchanged (no servlet definition is added to it), please reopen this jira.

              Then Fix Version of this Jira should be changed? I'm not able to verify it with JBT 3.3.0.M1 although reason is not this Jira.
