Whenever I deploy my web app, the first page I load with JSF components does not generate code for any of the JSF components. In other words, on my initial "index" page, I have a commandButton and some regular html links (<a href="" Only the html is generated. When I click on one of those regular html links and go to the next JSF page, all the JSF components are rendered as usual, as confirmed by what I see in the page source. I've tried using MyFaces 1.1.1, as well as several nightlies.
Why doesn't my initial JSF page load JSF components? I've seen a similar problem on this list and in forums that is always due to people not loading the pages with ".faces" instead of ".jsp". I am, however using ".faces", and further proof that JSF is otherwise working is that all other JSF pages after the initial one _do_ in fact load correctly.
I'm running tomcat 5.5.15. Had this problem on an earlier version of tomcat as well.
Has anyone else had this problem, or have a suggestion as to what the problem might be?
