Creating a Configuration File

The faces-config.xml deployment descriptor contains configuration settings for the JavaServer Faces application. JSF applications don't require a deployment descriptor unless they use features that can only be configured in faces-config.xml. In firstcup, the deployment descriptor has settings defining the resource bundle that provides localized strings in English and Spanish.

1. Select firstcup in the Projects Pane and select File -> New File.

2. In the New File dialog, select JavaServer Faces under Categories, new JavaServer Face Configuration under File Types, click Next, then Finish.
