PrettyFaces 3.3.0 has been released

The PrettyFaces team is pleased to announce the release of PrettyFaces 3.3.0. PrettyFaces is an OpenSource Servlets extension with enhanced support for JavaServer Faces – JSF 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0 – enabling creation of bookmark-able, pretty URLs. PrettyFaces solves the “RESTful URL” problem elegantly, including features such as: page-load actions, seamless integration with faces navigation, dynamic view-id assignment, managed parameter parsing, and configuration-free compatibility with other web frameworks.

Features & Enhancements:

• Performance improvements when running JSF 2.0 in project stage ‘development’
• Regular expression performance improvements provided by Yann Simon.
• Ambiguous View IDs are now resolved automatically when using pretty:mappingIds in action method navigation, <h:link> and <h:button> component outcomes
• Ambiguous View IDs may now be resolved manually for outbound URL rewrites by adding ‘?com.ocpsoft.mappingId=…’ to URLs before calling HttpServletResponse.encodeURL(…)
• Dynaview URLs* are now resolved during rendering of links and navigation cases, and are now as functional as traditional mappings.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed bug that caused path parameter validators to be ignored (#102)
• Handle java.lang.ClassFormatError during initialization of bean name resolvers (#101)
• Also check Weld 1.1.x specific servlet context attribute while search for BeanManager
• Mapping inheritance now working correctly for mappings using the same viewId

         UrlMapping mapping = config.getMappingById(outcome);
         String viewId = mapping.getViewId();
         if (mapping.isDynaView())
         {
            viewId = dynaview.calculateDynaviewId(context, mapping);
         }
         viewId = FacesNavigationURLCanonicalizer.normalizeRequestURI(context, viewId);
