    • 404 page not found error will redirect to /error/404.xhtml, and all other errors will be redirected to /error/index.xhtml,

  • Commons Faces controllers:

    • JKWebControllerWithOrmSupport: Faces controller that includes a set of reusable methods for JPA/Hibernate ORM data-access.

    • JKWebControllerWithSqlDataAccess: Faces controller that includes methods to enable easier integration with JDBC.
