I think Volker's suggestion of duplicating the tobago
NonFacesRequestServlet into tomahawk or myfaces-commons is a good idea.
It is very useful for performing pre-processing of any sort before
forwarding to a JSF page. I've added the code to the myfaces wiki for
the moment, but having a class in the myfaces distro itself sounds nice
to me.
Any other opinions?
By the way, I vaguely remember a new feature in the latest servlet spec
that allows servlets to be run on forwarded-to resources. Is this true,
or is my memory misleading me?
Regards,
Simon

Hi Jeffrey,
you are in the situation to serve a Non-Faces Request to a Faces
Response as described in the jsf 1.1 spec in section 2.1.1.
Take a look at tobagos NonFacesRequestServlet [1] how this situation
could handled.
I don't know if there is somthing like this in tomahawk, could be a
candidate for commons.jar.

Volker

Hello all.
I have the situation where I want to send a URL out in an email for a
person to click on, so that they can then see a page in my system.
Normally I’d have a backing servlet that takes the parameters in and
redirects to the page I want the user to view.
But since I’m using myfaces, I don’t know how to redirect to a JSF page.
In this case I’m at a complete loss to where I should start.
Can some one please prod me in the correct direction.
Thanks
Jeff
