            Description

            Look at ways to elimitate */icefaces/* servlet mapping. All the ICEfaces specific URLs should end in '.icefaces.jsf' . This way PushResourceHandler can identify the requests that need to be handled by ICEfaces code.

              Changed bridge request paths to use icefaces.jsf extension. This way no additional servlet mapping is needed for ICEfaces to run.

              In case a component or the application is using dynamic resources then /icefaces/ servlet mapping needs to be added. By using a prefix based mapping the relative paths that a resource might use to reference other resources will work properly.

              For example FCKEditor (in RichInputText component) has a master JS file that references other files – fckeditor.js. The generated path for this file will look like this: icefaces/resource/MTE1NTg0NjEyMg==/ . One of the files referenced by fckeditor.js is ./fckeditor.html. The generated path for the references path is: icefaces/resource/MTE1NTg0NjEyMg==/fckeditor.html. This way the relative path will work properly.

              If the suffix based servlet mapping would be used (.icefaces.jsf) the generated paths would be
              resource/MTE1NTg0NjEyMg==/.icefaces.jsf and resource/MTE1NTg0NjEyMg==/fckeditor.html.icefaces.jsf but the master file will use relative path to reference ./fckeditor.html file which will result into a failed request to resource/MTE1NTg0NjEyMg==/.icefaces.jsf./fckeditor.html.
