Pierre Raoul commented on JBSEAM-341:
-------------------------------------

I just finished to implement an alternative to current wildcards:
- by default it's still the final "*"
- or, if specified in component configuration, full Ant path wildcards

About Regex: i don't see how to order the priority of patterns when many of them can be applied to the same viewId.

Any idea?

> Currently the pages.xml supports wildcards but that too very limited(ending with *). If we have support for Regex-es in pages.xml , that would help the developers write page actions that can match a particular viewid.
> For e.g. I was trying to create a filter that will make my application go to the login page for any request but the login.seam page. Having a regex support for pages.xml will make this easier. 
> An alternative solution would be to have an except attribute that indicates that the page actions should be performed for all the view-ids that match it but except the ones in the "except" attribute.
