jsf myfaces 2.2 failure

Question

I think I have found an error with the current (snapshot) JSF 2.0 Myfaces 2.2 Version; I think I am not the only one having this issue:

when I want to create a link with the following style:

<h:link outcome="../../test" />

I get following error:

PM org.apache.myfaces.shared.renderkit.html.util.OutcomeTargetUtils getOutcomeTargetHref Warning: Could not determine NavigationCase for UIOutcomeTarget component {Component-Path : [Class: javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot,ViewId: ..

When i try it with an old snapshop version (e.g. 2013-04-24), the links are created correctly, also when the outcome-site is in the same folder as the linking file.

anyone else having this problem or is there a way to fix this? I dont't want to switch back to the old version because it has much more serious problems than this link issue

Answer 1

It is a bug caused by the new JSF 2.2 spec, which enforces the use of ResourceHandler.createViewResource(...), and that code internally has a check to avoid ../ or ./ in the resourceName. It has been fixed on MYFACES-3839.
