FacesViewsForwardingFilter (OmniFaces 4.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.omnifaces.filter.HttpFilter
- - org.omnifaces.facesviews.FacesViewsForwardingFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter
```
public class FacesViewsForwardingFilter
extends HttpFilter
```
This filter makes sure extensionless requests arrive at the FacesServlet using an extension on which that Servlet is mapped, and that non-extensionless requests are handled according to a set preference.
A filter like this is needed for extensionless requests, since the FacesServlet does not take into account any other mapping than prefix- and extension (suffix) mapping.
For a guide on FacesViews, please see the package summary.
