Description

This was initially reported by a user here: https://lists.apache.org/thread/h94cg5d19y8x2klc6orzw21z7x0rw7v1 

 

In TOMEE-4406 i reworked how a request is routed between CXF and "normal servlet land", however this introduces a regression if a web.xml that looks like this is used (can happen quite frequently with JSF for example):

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.xhtml</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

As per the servlet spec this causes a GET /api/users/ to be matched to the servlet path /api/users/index.xhtml:

The use for this facility is made clear by the following common example: A welcome file of index.html can be defined so that a request to a URL like host:port/webapp/directory/, where directory is an entry in the WAR that is not mapped to a servlet or JSP page, is returned to the client as host:port/webapp/directory/index.html.

Which in turn causes CXFJAXRSFilter to detect the Faces Servlet and not forward the request to CXF
