[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ]


a) To create the web application:
   1. Choose File > New Project (Ctrl-Shift-N). Select Web from the
Java Web category and click Next. 

There is no Web project type in this dialog, only Web Application.

b) "If you open web.xml, you can see that Facelets is defined as the
view framework and that index.xhtml is specified as the welcome page
for the application." I did that and it is completely unclear to me
how the user can see that facelets is set as the view framework. The
word facelet does not appear in the web.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">
    <context-param>
        <param-name>javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE</param-name>
        <param-value>Development</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
       
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>
            30
        </session-timeout>
    </session-config>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>faces/index.xhtml</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

Only Faces Servlet is mentioned.


c) "Right-click the project node and choose New > Other
Select Entity Class from the Persistence category. Click Next."

At least on my installation of NB6.8m2 the submenu of New directly
contains an entry named "Entity Class...", therefore the above is
more involved than needed.

d) Maybe you should mention that when running the application for the
first time, a web browser window with the string "Hello from the
Facelets" will appear.

e) "Select Session Bean for Entity Class from the Persistence
category. Click Next." It is "Session Beans for Entity Classes".
