[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-4228) expose rewrite rules

expose rewrite rules -------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4228 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4228 Project: Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.1.2.CR2 Reporter: Duncan Stockdill The RewriteFilter translates the requests to the internal view URLs and dispatches the request with the rewritten URL. e.g. RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher(newPath); dispatcher.forward(request, response); As a result, the original URL is lost to processing further down the chain. In some cases it's useful to have access the original URL. Potentially the URL could be stored and made available as an injectable component, but a more generic answer would be to expose the rewrite rules so an internal view can be converted to an external URL programatically. e.g. add matchPatterns or rewritePath to Pages class.
