I am not sure about Jetty, but it works for me with Mojarra 2.x on Tomcat 7 and Glassfish 3. Just writing the file to the expanded WAR folder the usual Java IO way suffices.</p> <pre><code>File file = new File(servletContext.getRealPath("/foo.xhtml")); if (!file.exists()) { OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(file); try { output.write(bytes); // Can be bytes from DB. } finally { output.close(); } } </code></pre> <p>This needs to be executed <strong>before</strong> the <code>FacesServlet</code> kicks in. A <code>Filter</code> is a perfect place.
