Is it possible to have more than one pretty-faces.xml file?

I've inherited a project from another person in the company I'm working now, it uses jsf, and it uses pretty-faces to hide the urls.

Issue here, is that pretty-faces.xml file is kind of large(it's up to 492 lines), and I wonder if there is a way to divide it in several files and keep it working the same, just for the sake of organization and maintenance.

I've read the pretty-faces docs but I'found nothing on this direction.

Any answer is really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Sure, you can add a context parameter to tell PrettyFaces about your configuration files:

    <context-param>
   <param-name>com.ocpsoft.pretty.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
   <param-value>/WEB-INF/custom-mappings.xml,/META-INF/another-config.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
