How to do a redirect to something *not* a viewId?

[toby451]

We are applying the URLRewriteFilter to get nice and SEO-friendly URLs.

At some places we would like to be able to do a redirect to the nice URL such as "/foo-bar" instead of the viewID... To be specific we want that almost all of the time since we don't want that the user is able to escape the realm of nice URLs.

If we put that in a redirect-tag in the pages.xml seam add ".seam" as a suffix since it ... somehow treat "/foo-bar" as a viewid.

So my question is: How can I redirect to ... whatever I like?

I think there is already a JIRA feature request for that, search. And if there isn't please open one.
