FAQ

  • Q: Why do you use your own URL Rewriter instead of the way Seam usually handles requests?

    A: The URL Rewriter is a simple tool that allows you great things. Actually I do not like the redirect done when accessing java projects - it redirects you to index.seam.

    We also use SEO - we want to have readable URL - /section/seam/. we create directory /section/seam/ and there we put index.xhtml. But you can't do that with seam because it can't redirect you to index.seam (there is no such file, so normal index-file is not working). So you have to put there index.jsp that redirects you to index.seam.

    Moreover you can use nice urls like /news/1/ and let it rewrite to /news/index.jsf?id=1

  • Q: Why doesn't my jars update if you made changes in Seam poms?

    A: Jars and Poms in maven.softeu.cz repository are not marked as SNAPSHOTS, so they are not updated. You must remove them from your local repository and download again.
