Navigating outside of dir into a different directory in primefaces

I am using templates with primefaces and I can't seem to get this right. I keep getting a 500 error. I am basically trying to navigate from createorder.xhtml to WEB-INF/templates/fullpagetemplate.xhtml.

The path I have now in the createorder.xhtml is:

template="/WEB-INF/templates/fullpagetemplate.jsf"

I keep getting an exception:

Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception: javax.faces.view.facelets.TagAttributeException: /order/createorder.xhtml @7,53 <ui:composition template="/WEB-INF/templates/fullpagetemplate.jsf"> Invalid path : /WEB-INF/templates/fullpagetemplate.jsf

Screenshot of file structure:

Hello

Solution

  • You need to go up one directory first before navigating to the WEB-INF directory by preceding your file path with .. like this:

    template="../WEB-INF/templates/fullpagetemplate.jsf"
