index.jsf seen as text-plain

digdas.seam.digdas.nl Jun 16, 2009 11:47 AM

Due to upwards compatibility I want to have a webpage index.jsf which should move the user to index.seam.

At this moment the user has bookmarked a jsf-application to .../index.jsf. This application has been rewritten to Seam.

I added in WebContent a file named index.jsf in which a redirect to home.seam.

Firefox and other browsers show the page as text/plain, ie6 show the page as text/html

How can I make seam send the file as text/html ?

The index.jsf page looks like:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
 <meta http-equiv="content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" > 
  <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=home.seam"/>
</head>
<body>
        Pleas update your bookmark
</body>
</html>

Why don't you add a simple servlet that does response.sendRedirect(), mapped to the desired path?

Alternatively you can try adding the mime mapping in web.xml:

<mime-mapping> <extension>jsf</extension> <mime-type>text/html</mime-type> </mime-mapping>

The latter should work, but I haven't tried it.

Thanks, I added the mime-mapping in the web.xml
Just belof the !-- JSF --
and this solves the case for me.

This is the simplest way.
