MyFaces assumes that the WAR is exploded and XHTML files are accessible in
filesystem
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-3356
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3356
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: General
Affects Versions: 2.1.3
Reporter: Raul K.
During initialization, MyFaces assumes that the Web Application has been
exploded in some location in the filesystem. This assumption is caused by
heavily using
[ServletContext.getRealPath|http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)]
during initialization, as well as File objects to access xhtml pages.
This makes MyFaces behave badly in containers which do not need to explode
WARs, e.g. Apache Karaf with PAX Web. It also hinders OSGi-friendliness.
I have pinpointed the following locations, at least:
* org.apache.myfaces.config.FacesConfigValidator (line 102 in v2.1.3): when
validating the from-id and to-id in the navigation rules.
* org.apache.myfaces.webapp.AbstractFacesInitializer (line 320 in v2.1.3): when
setting the context path for validations
* org.apache.myfaces.webapp.AbstractFacesInitializer (line 133 in v2.1.3):
logging
It would be a good idea to refactor this code to use
ServletContext.getResource, as naturally XHTML files are bound to be WAR
resources anyway. This will also make MyFaces more implementation-agnostic.
