Description

Hello,

I have just upgraded from jsf 1.1.5 to 1.2.2 and it seems like all the resources returns empty response when using /faces/* as servlet mapping.

During the upgrade I made no changes to web.xml. It looks like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>30</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

The web application loaded successfully, but all the resources (images/js/stylesheets) seems to be broken.
I copied one of the images url to try and check a request to image directly. For example:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/faces/images/logo.jpg
and I got an empty response.
When I removed the faces:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/images/logo.jpg
the image was loaded ok.

I made further investigation and changed the mapping to: *.faces and it seemed to be working fine.

Thanks,
Guy.
