hi
what kinds of approaches are people using for the FacesServlet mapping configuration?
the two approaches i've seen are
a) *.faces
b) /faces/*
solution a would seem like the better one because then it's easier to control access to pages (based on url prefixes).
what's the most commonly used way to do this mapping?
Hi,
1.*.faces
If u r using *.faces then ur URL has to be http://localhost:8080/login/index.faces.
The servlet container uses servlet mapping rule to activate the JSf servlet which strips off faces suffix and loads the index.jsp page.
2./faces/*
In this case u should use http://localhost:8080/login/faces/index.faces.
The URl activates JSF servlet which strips off the faces prefix and loads the file /login/index.jsp.
The better way is to use *.faces.
Thanks,
