PrimeFaces components are not rendered in browser in spite of dependency being present

Question

I'm developing a JSF web application with PrimeFaces 3.5 on Eclipse 4.3. There are no compiletime or runtime errors and the application deploys successfully. However, I cannot get the desired output in browser. The PrimeFaces components do not show up, while the standard JSF components do. I'm not sure if I configured everything right. The PrimeFaces JAR is at least inside `/WEB-INF/lib`: And the PrimeFaces XML namespace is declared as `xmlns:p="http:\primefaces.org\ui"` And I mapped the `FacesServlet` on `*.xhtml`: Here's the full source code of `login.xhtml`: ``` Login Page !!

Accepted Answer

As to the cause of your concrete problem of PrimeFaces components not being rendered, as per the screenshot, you have a leading blank space in PrimeFaces taglib URI:

```
xmlns:p=" http://primefaces.org/ui"
```

This is significant and thus wrong. Get rid of it:

```
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
```

This way the PrimeFaces components must be parsed and appear in the HTML output.

For the remainder I strongly recommend you to go through a sane JSF2 tutorial first. You're making several conceptual mistakes which are already covered by a decent Hello World example. Start at our JSF wiki page. Those mistakes do however not have this "blank page" as consequence. They will cause different problems (e.g. CSS/JS not functioning and form submit not working). If you still stucks on that, you should essentially be asking a new question.
