Class FacesViewsForwardingFilter

java.lang.Object
  org.omnifaces.filter.HttpFilter
      org.omnifaces.facesviews.FacesViewsForwardingFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.servlet.Filter

public class FacesViewsForwardingFilter
extends HttpFilter

This filter forwards request to a FacesServlet using an extension on which this Servlet is mapped.

A filter like this is needed for extensionless requests, since the FacesServlet in at least JSF 2.1 and before does not take into account any other mapping than prefix- and extension (suffix) mapping.

For a guide on FacesViews, please see the package summary.
