Re: How can I redirect from a servlet to a JSF page (that is backed by a bean)?

[Simon Kitching <sk...@obsidium.com>]

I think Volker's suggestion of duplicating the tobago 
NonFacesRequestServlet into tomahawk or myfaces-commons is a good idea.

It is very useful for performing pre-processing of any sort before 
forwarding to a JSF page. I've added the code to the myfaces wiki for 
the moment, but having a class in the myfaces distro itself sounds nice 
to me.

Any other opinions?

By the way, I vaguely remember a new feature in the latest servlet spec 
that allows servlets to be run on forwarded-to resources. Is this true, 
or is my memory misleading me?

Regards,

Simon

Since my understanding of the goal is to eventually merge Tobago in
with tomahawk, would it make more sense to move the servlet into
myfaces-commons, and have tobago depend on it?   It'd be good if we
could do the same for any other tobago pieces that aren't directly
tied to the tobago viewhandler.   It'd be a first step toward merging
the two.
