PrettyFaces not working under WildFly

Question

I use PrettyFaces to URL-rewriting, I used Glassfish 4 as application server and I was managing well the urls with prettyfaces, but after migration of server to WildFly 8.0 I can not get the page using its id defined in pretty-config.xml (I can get the page only using the complet url ie domain:port/../page1.jsf)

here is web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <view-id value="/pages/index.jsf" />
...
</pretty-config>

The dependency of prettyface defined in pom.xml:

<!-- PrettyFaces -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.ocpsoft</groupId>
        <artifactId>prettyfaces-jsf2</artifactId>
        <version>3.3.3</version>
    </dependency>

WildFly 8.0 is old and has some awkward bugs as to HTTP session handling. Try the current 8.2 instead and report. — BalusC, Jan 08 '15 at 09:34
And PrettyFaces 3.3.3 is also very old. You should consider to use Rewrite with the PrettyFaces module instead. See: http://ocpsoft.org/rewrite/ and the migration guide: http://ocpsoft.org/rewrite/docs/migration/prettyfaces3 — chkal, Jan 08 '15 at 12:04
@BalusC thank you very much, you helped me to solve a lot of problems in these last days. chkal I did what you suggested and it works now. — SSouhaieb, Jan 13 '15 at 08:44

Have you tried a more recent version of Wildfly or PrettyFaces? Please see the updated installation instructions here: http://ocpsoft.org/prettyfaces/

(Note: PrettyFaces is now an extension of rewrite.)
