MyFaces/Tomahawk Redirect Tracker - can you turn it off?

[Richard Koch]

We are using Sun’s RI for our application.  I recently integrated Tomahawk and commons validators into our application so we can get file upload functionality easily implemented along with email and url validation.  To get url validation I had to include the sandbox jar too.    For file upload I: Configured the use of the ExtensionsFilter in the web.xml Using <t:inputFileUpload…/> tag in the jsp page     For validation I am using the following tags in our JSP: <t:validateEmail …/> <s:validateUrl …/>   I am also using the org.apache.commons.validator.GenericValidator directly to validate email in our api in a couple of places.   Everything seemed great then during testing we noticed that “?_rtid=” started being appended to some of the URLs as we navigate through the site and causing us problems/conflicts.   I found some other people asking about _rtid in the apache archives and found the Redirect Tracker functionality somewhat documented here: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@myfaces.apache.org/msg16831.html   I don’t want this redirect tracker functionality mixed in with what we already have in place with the RI, but I have not been able to find out if you can turn this off or not.   -Can you turn the redirect tracker off in a config file somewhere? Can anyone explain to me if redirect tracking started happening because of the use of file upload, the jsp tags, the direct use of the GenericValidator, or because I am using any tomahawk and validator functionality at all?   Any help would be appreciated.   Thanks.    Rich
