  • 0

Am having many xhtml pages in my application. First page that a User gets to see is named index.xhtml, when User is asked to update his Profile it will be updateProfile.xhtml etc. When I hit my application my page names gets displayed on the URL. When user is updating profile, URL will be http:/myDomain/myServlet/updateProfile.jsf.

Am interested in knowing whether its possible to map all my xhtml page names which gets displayed on the URL to some other name. For eg., in the above case, I want all the URLs which matches *.jsf pattern to be displayed to user as http:/myDomain/myServlet/myAccount.

I dont see a possible threat if a end user gets to know my page names, but still, I dont have much knowledge on Security/Hacking, so atleast I dont want to display *.jsf in my URL. Because, a user can know that am using JSF.

    In JavaServer Faces to rewrite URL you need basically a Filter. In your case your rewrite could be done by something like PrettyFaces http://ocpsoft.org/prettyfaces/.

    With PrettyFaces you will be able to configure rewrite patterns and everything you need.

    Edit : When creating your own Filter to redirect URL, you also need to create a ViewHandler and override the getActionURL() function so that actions will go to the new URL.
