    <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

Answer 1

Don't do it the hard way.

Change

<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>

to

<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>

and change

<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>

to

<welcome-file>map.xhtml</welcome-file>

This way map.xhtml becomes the welcome file and you can now stop fiddling with virtual URLs like .jsf and as a bonus, you can get rid of the legacy JSP file altogether.
