My JSF 2 project structure is as follow:
root
...
WebContent
META-INF
resources
css
images
javascript
templates
commonLayout.xhtml
footer.xhtml
header.xhtml
views
main
index.xhtml
WEB-INF
index.jsp
I encounter this error when I tried to view my page at http://localhost/home/main/index.jsf:

I have been stuck on this issue for the last two days. Can anyone see what the problem is? I have no idea at all

Two things:
First, your project structure is incorrect. All web files have to go inside WebContent.
root
...
WebContent
META-INF
resources
css
images
javascript
templates
commonLayout.xhtml
footer.xhtml
header.xhtml
views
main
index.xhtml
WEB-INF
index.jsp
This would however have produced a 404 error rather than this exception. So I'll assume that it was just your carelessness during formulating the question.
Second, if the template path in ui:composition starts with /, then it is relative to the WebContent. But if it does not start with /, then it is relative to the current file. As you currently have, Facelets will attempt to load the template from /views/main/templates/commonLayout.xhtml which is indeed incorrect. So, fix your template path as follows:
<ui:composition template="/templates/commonLayout.xhtml">
