Leonardo Uribe commented on MYFACES-4105:
-
There are two parts in this issue:
1. Add .xhtml as a suffix mapping.
2. Allow non wildcard prefix that points to views with default suffix mapping.
After digging about this issue, I found the relevant points in JSF 2.3 pdf
section 7.6.2.1 and 7.6.2.3
The problem I found is there is an old code that prevents /faces as a mapping
for example because JSP VDL in this case enters in a redirection loop. The
reason is JSP VDL in JSF 2.2 and earlier versions does not have a check for
.jsp views, so the mapping will be recognized as something handled by JSP VDL
by default. This was changed in JSF 2.3 (see MYFACES-4103), but this is not
implicit in the spec, and instead this is a deduction done after trying to
understand getViews(...) logic. Anyway, I'm sure we can change these lines.
Now, what's left is update calculateActionURL(...) so the outcome or url can be
properly mapped as a extensionless mapping. The spec does not cover add dynamic
mappings but with getViews(...) and these changes we have everything we need to
add automatic extensionless mapping as a implementation specific feature, but
still the code that calculate prefix/suffix mapping for ResourceHandler could
be still broken in that case. The old code does not take into account
ServletContext.getServletRegistration(...) exists (was compatible with Servlet
2.3-2.5), so we still need to cover those holes and possibly check how
navigation algorithm is affected.
