The application server needs to know the mapping so it can invoke the FacesServlet when the url matches the mapping. But why would the FacesServlet itself need to know its mapping?
I didn't have a problem with the RI regarding validation of the web.xml. I don't think the RI is even parsing the web.xml; it doesn't have a context startup listener, unlike MyFaces. -----Original Message----- From: Craig McClanahan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 1:05 PM To: Virtudazo, Dennis (Exchange) Cc: MyFaces Discussion; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MyFaces with Weblogic On Thu, 24 Feb 2005 09:29:45 -0500, Virtudazo, Dennis (Exchange) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Btw, it wasn't the parsing of faces-config.xml that was causing the > problem.

Any JSF implementation is going to need to know how FacesServlet is mapped (i.e. /faces/* or *.faces). However, there's no API in the servlet spec to ask the container for that information, so it has to be parsed again by the JSF implementation. The RI does the same thing.
