I created a dynamic web application then converted it to maven project. When I try to deploy it using with maven build, It creates the war file and others(META-INF, WEB-INF) but Maven doesn't deploy the xhtml files and the web.xml file which are under the WEB-INF folder.

I can manually copy the xhtml files to target(tomcat/webapps) and it works.. but when i copy the web.xml file manually, the web application crashes.

this is my pom.xml file

I have tried many things to deploy them automatically with maven. I couldn't be successful, so far..

  • Apparently project structure is plain wrong. Hard to tell without seeing it. This has at least nothing to do with JSF as it's just a HTML form based MVC framework, not a build system producing WAR files. That's Maven. Moreover, JSF hasn't even had the chance to run ;) – BalusC Mar 15 '16 at 12:55
  • Why are you changing the structure of the default layout...follow the conventions makes life easier...Remove `webapp` and don't make executions if you don't know what the do...so in the consequence remove the whole definition of the maven-war-plugin which is automatically picked up by using `war`. You might define a new version by using pluginManagement... – khmarbaise Mar 15 '16 at 12:58
  • My web project based on this example [link](http://www.javaknowledge.info/authentication-based-secure-login-logout-using-jsf-2-0-and-primefaces-3-4-1/) So i think if it works properly my project should work too.. – Ahmet Ozkal Mar 15 '16 at 13:45
  • Could you please provide your project structure? – António Ribeiro Mar 15 '16 at 13:52

I removed this plugin and changed various things in web.xml.. it works 

<plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.3</version>
                <configuration>
                    <warSourceDirectory>webapp</warSourceDirectory>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>default-war</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>war</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

thanks everyone

I have converted web application to maven and added your plugin but jars are added into target folders web-inf/jars folder not in web-content folder.
