Internet explorer tries to download index.jsf file

Hey guys I'm trying to get my application to run on Internet Explorer 8. If I redirect IE8 to my p开发者_运维百科age it just tries to download the JSF file. Not sure what is going on here.

Old versions of Internet Explorer don't understand mime type application/xhtml+xml:

Change your web.xml configuration file to map the mime type:

<mime-mapping>
    <extension>xhtml</extension>
    <mime-type>text/html;charset=UTF-8</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

I changed my login to page to a plain html page instead of a JSF(xhtml) page and it fixed the issue.
