    calling pages directly

    wondermike

      Hello, I'd like to prevent a web user of calling an url like http://hostname/page.seam or even http://hostname/page.xhtml directly, instead, the only page he should call ist home.seam, the rest should go via buttons that call methods in manager beans. Those methods return an outcome which is then looked up in faces-config.xml.
      I already tried to put the xhtml pages into the WEB-INF directory, but that didn't help, the pages couldn't be accessed anymore. They may be included, so if there's no way to configure the above, my question turns into a design question ... should I put everything into WEB-INF and include the pages I need?
      What do I have to adjust in my web config in order to prevent accessing the pages directly?
      My environment is:
      jboss-4.0.4.GA
      jboss-seam-1.0.1.GA
      Here's my current web.xml:

      <?xml version="1.0" ?>
      <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
