This is a generic JSF question, but I'm not getting any help in the Java forums and I'd really like to know what I am dealing with before I head forward. I'm sorry to catch you guys with this question right before Christmas break as everyone is probably cramming or on vacation; but I'd appreciate any direction in this issue:
------------------------- I'm curious how some of you are getting around the problem of providing bookmarkable pages without the use of HTTP GET in JSF? Take for example a site/application like Bugzilla, it relies extremely heavily on the query string to provide bookmarkable "My Bugs" and other such results; how would you provide a site like that with pure JSF using HTTP POSTs everywhere? Someone mentioned that the W3C suggests HTTP POSTS everywhere for a good site, but with today's dynamically generated sites and CMS systems, how can this be the case? Think of a lot of these phpBB based sites with URLs like: www.site.com/index.php?forum=23&post=33&topic=71 With a HTTP post you end up with a bookmark of: www.site.com/index.php unless I'm missing something here? Can someone shed some light on this huge glaring problem for me and why either (a) I am missing something obvious here or (b) the JSF developers decided to completely ignore the needs like this common in so many sites? Note I'm not looking for a workaround like the JavaScript method=get solution, consider a user that has JavaScript turned off... I don't want to have my site completely break and become unusable. ------------------------- Happy Holidays, Riyad
