JspViewHandler getServletMapping

["versuech2@bluewin.ch" <ve...@bluewin.ch>]

Hi all

I'd like to use a non JSF servlet and forward to a view from there. 
In the servlet I initialize a lifecycle and faces context. At the end 
of the servlet I do something like:

navigationHandler.handleNavigation()
lifecycle.render()

Actually as it didn't work as expected I found an interesting 
article on the net:

http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/InvokingJsfPagesWithStandardUrls

The problem is now that the action of the form is wrong.. as 
described here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/users%40myfaces.apache.org/msg15139.
html

I analyzed the code of the JspViewHandler and IMHO the problem is 
that the servlet mapping returned by getServletMapping is the one of 
the non JSF servlet.. :(

I wonder if a check to servletMapping.getServletClass().equals
("javax.faces.FacesServlet") would make sense?  Or even load the 
class and check if its an instanceof a FacesServlet or something like 
this.. just thinking loud..

I don't like the workaround described on the mailinglist entry 
above. The one where my servlet is mapped to /MyServlet.jsf .. 

It would be cool if someone could have a look at this.. :)

Appreciate any help
Cheers
