JSF2 built in ajax support error : f:ajax not found - jsf-2

The XML namespaces are invalid. You've removed the http:// prefix from them all. This is not right.
Here's a rewrite:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head>
<title>Page title</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{helloBean.name}"></h:inputText>
<h:commandButton value="Welcome Me">
<f:ajax execute="name" render="output" />
</h:commandButton>
<h2><h:outputText id="output" value="#{helloBean.sayWelcome}"/></h2>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
Note that you also forgot the <h:head> component. This generates a HTML <head> element which allows JSF to auto-include the necessary JS and CSS files. In case of <f:ajax>, the JSF-supplied jsf.js file needs to be (auto)included, otherwise you will face a JS error after the page is been loaded.

Images won't display, navigation won't occur (learning? JSF 2)

Here is the JSF code trying to display and navigate.

This is the result of a snippet from "view source" on the page

<td><img src="/jsfreg/resources/images/img_coreJsf.jpg" height="150" width="150" /><span>: This link is disabled because a navigation case could not be matched.Proceed to page 2</span></td>
</tr>
The core problem is that I can't get images to display and can't get static navigation to work.
I have tried moving the images/*.jpg folder to every possible location I can think of beneath the application root, under WEB-INF, etc.
I am using Glassfish 4 and Maven.

why growl message not dispalying left side of screen using common layout

In my project there is a requirement that when we change language from Engish to Arabic all layout will be displayed in right to left position.
growl message working fine when i didn't use common layout but when i add this thing in common layout of my page then its still showing right side only..
source code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head>
<title>Facelet Title</title>
<style type="text/css">
.ui-growl{
#{msg['msg']}:20px;
}
</style>
</h:head>
<body>
<ui:composition template="/home/template/common1/commonLayout.xhtml">
<ui:define name="content">
<h:form id="myform">
<p:growl id="msgs" sticky="true" autoUpdate="true" />
<f:event listener="#{localeControllerBean.islang}" type="preRenderView" />
<p:outputLabel for="sname" value="#{msg['welcome.jsf']}"
styleClass="label" />
<p:inputText id="sname" value="#{sponsorBean.sponsor_name}"
required="true" requiredMessage="#{msg['welcome.jsf']}"
styleClass="input" />
<p:commandButton id="submit" value="Save" ajax="false"
action="#{sponsorBean.save}" style="margin-bottom:50px;"
update="msgs" />
</h:form>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
</body>
</html>

Anything outside <ui:composition> is ignored during building the view.
In your commonLayout.xhtml master template you should add a new <ui:insert> inside <h:head>:
<h:head>
...
<ui:insert name="head" />
</h:head>
Then define it inside the <ui:composition> of your template client:
<ui:composition template="...">
<ui:define name="head">
<style>.ui-growl{ #{msg['msg']}: 20px; }</style>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="content">
...
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
(by the way #{msg['msg']} is absolutely not self-documenting; I'd myself also rather have used <html dir="#{direction}"> so that you can just use e.g. html[dir='rtl'] .ui.growl selector)

jsf2 template and adding style sheet

Trying to use the JSF2 templates feature.The base.xhtml page looks like below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
>
<h:head>
<h:outputStylesheet name="test.css" library="style" target="head"/>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<div id="page">
<div id="header">
<ui:insert name="header" >
<ui:include src="/layout/header.xhtml" />
</ui:insert>
</div>
<div id="content">
<ui:insert name="content" >
???
</ui:insert>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<ui:insert name="footer" >
<ui:include src="/layout/footer.xhtml" />
</ui:insert>
</div>
</div>
</h:body>
</html>
Trying to inherit this template into my page (testpage.xhtml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
>
<h:body>
<ui:composition template="/layout/base.xhtml">
<ui:define name="content">
Default Page content!!!!
<h:outputText value="Foo bar" style="green"/>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
</h:body>
</html>
The test.css file is available under the folder webcontent/resources/style and the content of the css file is as follows
.green{
color:#0000FF;
}
Now the problem is when I try to run the testpage the stylesheet is adding into the page (with view source able to identify) but it is not reflecting in the UI.
Is anything wrong in the above code? Any help on this appreciated.

You should use styleClass attribute (equivalent to the class attribute of plain HTML)
Replace
<h:outputText value="Foo bar" style="green"/>
With
<h:outputText value="Foo bar" styleClass="green"/>

p:submenu is not expanded

I am trying but figure out how to use p:panelMenu
for some reason I am unable to make a submenu item expanded like the showcase example http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/panelMenu.jsf
This is my jsf example:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org
/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<p:panelMenu style="width:300px">
<p:submenu label="Non-Ajax Menuitem">
<p:menuitem value="Delete" ajax="false" icon="ui-icon-close" />
</p:submenu>
</p:panelMenu>
</h:form>
</h:body>
Any idea what I am missing here ?
Thanks

How to change head elements of a page when using ui:composition

I want to ask a question that i have a master template like this
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head>
<title>Login</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<div id="top">
<ui:insert name="top">
<ui:include src="header.xhtml" id="header"/>
</ui:insert>
</div>
<div>
<div id="content">
<ui:insert name="content"></ui:insert>
</div>
</div>
<div id="bottom" style="position: absolute;top: 675px;width: 100%" align="center">
<ui:insert name="bottom">
<ui:include src="footer.xhtml" id="footer"/>
</ui:insert>
</div>
</h:body>
</html>
On my each page i am using something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<title>City Setup</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<ui:composition template="./WEB-INF/templates/layout.xhtml">
<ui:define name="content">
<h:form id="cityReviewform">
......
</h:form>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
</h:body>
</html>
Now what is happening that because of the ui;composition my tile attribute is now working on each page, because ui:composition discard every tag outside of it. Now on each page i have a title of Login(i.e of master template). So i want to ask that how can i do this that on each page, its own title shown instead of Login(master tempalte title)?
Thanks

In the template client, everything outside <ui:composition> is ignored. You need to change your template approach to provide an <ui:insert> for the title in the master template, so that it can be defined by an <ui:define> in the template client.
Master template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head>
<title><ui:insert name="title">Login</ui:insert></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</h:head>
<h:body>
<div id="top">
<ui:insert name="top">
<ui:include id="header" src="header.xhtml"/>
</ui:insert>
</div>
<div>
<div id="content">
<ui:insert name="content" />
</div>
</div>
<div id="bottom">
<ui:insert name="bottom">
<ui:include id="footer" src="footer.xhtml" />
</ui:insert>
</div>
</h:body>
</html>
Template client:
<ui:composition template="/WEB-INF/templates/layout.xhtml"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<ui:define name="title">City Setup</ui:define>
<ui:define name="content">
<h:form id="cityReviewform">
...
</h:form>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
