Hi All & esp Thomas,
When playing around with the tiles view handler I've run into a problem. I have css (resources/styles.css) files that are loaded by some of my JSP's. When they are sent through the JspTilesViewHandlerImpl the request gets turned into resources/styles.tiles. Which of course can't be found. I'm using the faces/* mapping. I've not tried the extension (*.jsf) mapping.
I've put in a solution to get the view handler to ignore certain file extensions (the list is config driven in the web.xml file). This approach works but I' not sure that I like it. I don't like forcing another configuration. What do you think of by default only transforming .jsp requests (or the extension defined in the extension mapping) and then having a configuration option to transform any others. Then the default would work for most cases and configuration would only be required for the non-typical case.
I was also thinking of trying to find the mapping as is done now then if that fails try the original request and see if it succeeds (which might also have problems).
Anyway your thoughts on this would be most appreciated. I would also be glad to post an issue if this is going to need tracking before it gets resolved.
TTFN,
