How to hide ".seam" postfix in the URL? Thanks!

How to hide ".seam" postfix in the URL, or replace it with others, such as ".html" / ".xhtml" etc? Thanks very much!

The idea is to change the mapping for the Seam servlet from extension based mapping to path based mapping. See Servlet specification or a book about Servlets.

Or alternatively, when the use of extension based mapping should be continued, the URL pattern for the extension could be changed from <url-pattern>*.seam</url-pattern>
to another extension.

In both cases the <servlet-mapping> in the web.xml config file needs to be edited.

But I cannot experiment with this now. Perhaps you or another user can and then describe here in this thread what changes you made in web.xml and whether this worked.

I have been using .xhtml for a long time and it works perfectly.

Here is a stripped down version of my web.xml that integrates Richfaces and Trinidad.

I simply modify <url-pattern>*.seam</url-pattern> to <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern> in the web.xml config file, and it works perfectly, thanks :)
