I mapped to .html but not .asp, and I doubt many people would map java
apps to .php, .asp or .aspx in hosting companies (Of course u can
technically but I can not see the benefit). That's why I assume if I see
.php, I know it is php site with 99% confidence.
The reason for our mapping to html was that this page is rather stable
and I don't change their contents over time (in general). And for
security reason as Stéphane said. For PHP and perl it is very simple to
do that. For java it is a little more difficult but manageable. It can
give you more URL addresses as Neil said.
As for jsf, is it .jspx? or maybe mapping to others? It is possible jsf
maps to html. jsf using .aspx? It is unthinkable even technically
possible.
