Any good examples out there on how to do this? Any reusable libs that you
know of?
I assume this is the identifier I would be looking for, then grab the
mapping and build a URL, since it's the spec'd (final/un-subclassable)
servlet-class.
<servlet-class>*javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet*</servlet-class>
Additionally, I have a potentially basic Java question:
Just for confirmation, I can test this when I try it out: Assuming that I'm
using servletContext.getMajorVersion() to detect the current Servlet version
and take appropriate action, since I've never attempted to write a portable
lib between servlet versions... if I reference servlet 3.0, 2.5 APIs will
work in a 3.0 environment (unless deprecated), and make sure no 3.0 APIs are
accessed in 2.5 environments, I should be OK without runtime failures?
Thanks,
