This approach sounds like a bad idea to me. Having all your pages in the
root directory means your app will not scale beyone a few dozen pages;
it will just get unmanageable. And this approach simply feels wrong.
If you really want to do this then I would agree with Frank's suggestion
to do this by configuring a proxy server.
The alternative would be to write a custom JSF ViewHandler class. It is
the JSF ViewHandler that is responsible for creating a view and
rendering it. In fact, JSF supports the "decorator" pattern for
ViewHandlers, so your code would override a couple of methods but mostly
delegate to the underlying implementation. I think that implementing
this isn't *too* difficult, but not trivial either. You will certainly
probably need to read through the source code for the ViewHandler
implementation of your JSF implementation (Mojarra or Myfaces Core) and
maybe read parts of the JSF specification. Having a good JSF textbook
handy could also be useful.

I'll definately look into how to use proxy server but is there some way to do
it from JSF standpoint?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
can't you set a proxy on the HTTP server. I remember that this is
possible to do in Apache. In fact what you want is to intercept the
request and forward it on the server side

no its not about jsp:includes .
suppose u have a URL like www.abc.com/pages/first.jsf .I want the jsf
page
"first.jsf" to be picked up from the root directory instead of "first.jsf
"
from the path "/pages/first.jsf" but for the next request the URL should
still remain like its coming from "/pages/first.jsf".

Hi,
sorry, I don't understand the question, can you rephrase ? Do you mean
jsp:includes ?

I want to use some "part" of a URL to identify a particular sub

from
this sub directory to display a page in the root directory here the URL
should still remain the same that is it should still have the "part"
intact.
All the pages are present only in root directory and styles and images are
present only in sub directory.Can someone give me any pointers about how
should I proceed.
