Can i use different pattern instead of *.seam

[sriramsudheer]

Hi folks, I am trying to use different pattern instead of *.seam, For this i changed at

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.seam</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

to

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.xyz</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Is there some thing else which i need to change

Thanks in advance

Nope.

Clarification: no, there's nothing else you need to change.

Hi James, Thanks for the response but i tried doing that and I am getting pagenotfound exception.

You can regenerate the exception by following these steps:

1.generate a helloworld program of seam project
2. change the servlet mapping in web.xml to .xyz
3. Run the application

Thanks in advance

Then you have some other problem...

I just sanity tested this with the Seam Booking example. The normal  start page url is http://localhost/seam-booking/home.seam. If I want to change this to http://localhost/seam-booking/home.xyz I make the following changes in web.xml...

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.seam</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

...changes to...

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.xyz</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

Its my blindness after i changed to .xyz i am trying to access .seam

[garapatichowdary]

we can use any type of <url-pattern>, not only *.seam.

Before that you can put some statements in the components.xml.

Those are:

   xmlns:web="http://jboss.com/products/seam/web"
put this namespace in the <component> tag.
  
and add this <web:context-filter url-pattern="/pollin/*" />

Then you can add in the web.xml

<servlet>
<servlet-name>Generate Script Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.nableinc.pollin.action.GenerateScriptPollServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Generate Script Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/pollin/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

like this we can add anytype of url to our application.

Is this not enough to change the .seam to .xyz?

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xyz</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

for what is this (for using pure servlets instead of jsf)?

<web:context-filter url-pattern="/pollin/*" />

<servlet>
<servlet-name>Generate Script Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.nableinc.pollin.action.GenerateScriptPollServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

Can you explain the difference between yours and the first (shorter) one?

I think the first is enough (working for me...)
