The only configuration needed in faces-config.xml is specific to the use of Facelets. If you are using JSP and not using the Spring Faces components, you do not need to add anything specific to Spring Faces to your faces-config.xml

<faces-config>
    <application>
        <!-- Enables Facelets -->
        <view-handler>com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler</view-handler>  
    </application>
</faces-config>
