Hi, I have a JSF/IceFaces powered application running on Tomcat 5.5.17 in Windows 2003 server SP1. When deploying my webapp to a .war file and copying it to the webapps directory of Tomcat the method FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getViewId() returns different results with every deployment. It looks very random.
For example, I deploy the webapp to myapp1.war and copy that file 3 times: myapp1.war, myapp2.war, myapp3.war, myapp4.war. I copy all 4 to the webapps dir of Tomcat and let them deploy themselves. When requesting the index.iface url, I get 2 different results eg: http://localhost/myapp1/index.iface --> viewId = "index.iface" (correct) http://localhost/myapp2/index.iface --> viewId = "index.jsp" (incorrect) http://localhost/myapp3/index.iface --> viewId = "index.jsp" (incorrect) http://localhost/myapp4/index.iface --> viewId = "index.iface" (correct) I also tested this on a Windows XP Pro and I tried with different Tomcat version (5.0.28, 5.5.16). So my question is, how is it possible that one method returns different values just by having a different contextpath (and ofcourse, how to solve it). Thank you
