I have looked deeply into fixing this and the solution is not fully clean, but you can handle your old applications.

First this is not bug for Seam, because all what you want to handle by Seam should be mapped to {noformat}*.<suffix>{noformat} or with help of rewrite-filter to something like {noformat}<web:rewrite-filter view-mapping="/servlet/*" />{noformat}. Anyway I lower the IllegalArgumentException and try to redirect to viewId if not found correct suffix.

You have to only map correctly your error page in page.xml to the recognized url-pattern for FacesServlet. In the attached example testcase you have to map to error.seam instead of error.xhtml. P.S. actually the attached example has got in page.xml message.xhtml, but that is mistake. 

If it is not what you want, I will cancel the fix.

> Pretty easy to reproduce: call a servlet from a Seam webapp that throws an exception, which will result in a Tomcat HTTP 500 error page that ,instead of displaying the servlet's exception, displays a "no file extension in servlet path" exception.
> See the attached testcase.
> I have yet to find a good workaround; only way seems to be to hack Seam's codebase myself. The problem definitely seems to be in org.jboss.seam.mock.MockViewHandler.getActionURL(...), as indicated by JBSEAM-2921.
