Hey
Thnx for the suggestion, but its not solving the problem I am trying to
extend the ViewHandler class and override its abstract methods. Does any
one hav any idea how to do that.
Shale itself extends ViewHandler functionality[1], so you could use
that as an example. However, it doesn't start from the raw
ViewHandler abstract class. Instead, it receives a copy of the
original ViewHandler in its constructor, and delegates to that for
functionality that did not need to be changed. You'll find this to be
substantially easier if you only need to modify one or two methods.
As to your original question, you are going to face one challenge that
comes from the fact that JSF is based on the servlet spec, and this
has an implication for URLs. Your URLs *must* be mapped to
FacesServlet on the way back in, or the JSF processing will not take
place. You can use prefix (/faces/*) or suffix (*.faces) style
mapping, but you'll need to use one or the other, meaning you'd end up
with either of:
* abc.com/Motorolla.faces
* abc.com/faces/Motorolla.jsp
A completely separate approach to this might be some sort of servlet
filter that intercepts the requests before the JSF servlet, and does
an internal redirect. I haven't thought all the way through what you
would need to accomplish, but I don't think there are any showstopper
problems.
Thanx

Sudhanshu,
A very straightforward approach is to use a servlet filter that parse
the
URL and forwards to the proper JSF page. There are some other
approaches,
though -- check the archives for this mailing list (and others, such as
MyFaces ad FaceletS). This issue has been discussed a lot.
