I'm asked to look into alternatives to having /faces (or whatever string used for <url-pattern> in web.xml) in the request url that eventually invokes the FacesServlet, so if the request url is for example:
http://servername/webapp/faces/resource.xxxx
they want it to be:
http://servername/webapp/resource.xxxx
and still have FacesServlet handle the request.
So, I added a Filter implementation to intercept the request and then add/append the required url-pattern to the request. BUT, they don't like that solution either.
Question is:
As FacesServlet is a uhh Servlet, how else can one achieve this requirement?
Thx for any feedback.
