Is it possible to do extensionless URLs with JSF?

[mraible]

I'm trying to integrate extensionless URLs in my app using the
UrlRewriteFilter. I'm using a technique similar to the one expressed in the
following blog post:

http://raibledesigns.com/rd/entry/extensionless_urls_in_java_web

However, I'm using path-mapping instead of suffix-mapping, but can't get it
to work. In web.xml, I have:

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>faces</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/app/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

In my urlrewrite.xml, I have:

    <!-- Add rules here for anything that shouldn't be served up by JSF. -->
    <rule>
        <from>/</from>
        <to type="redirect" last="true">mainMenu</to>
    </rule>
    <rule>
        <from>/app/mainMenu</from>
        <to last="true" type="redirect">../mainMenu</to>
    </rule>
    <rule>
        <from>/j_security_check</from>
        <to>/j_security_check</to>
    </rule>
    <rule>
        <from>/common/**</from>
        <to>/common/$1</to>
    </rule>
    <rule>
        <from>/images/**</from>
        <to>/images/$1</to>
    </rule>
    <rule>
        <from>/scripts/**</from>
        <to>/scripts/$1</to>
    </rule>
    <rule>
        <from>/styles/**</from>
        <to>/styles/$1</to>
    </rule>
    <rule>
        <from>/crossdomain.xml</from>
        <to>/crossdomain.xml</to>
    </rule>
    <rule>
        <from>/favicon.ico</from>
        <to>/favicon.ico</to>
    </rule>
    <rule>
        <from>/login*</from>
        <to>/login.jsp</to>
    </rule>
    <rule>
        <from>/logout*</from>
        <to>/logout.jsp</to>
    </rule>

    <!-- JSF -->
    <rule>
        <from>/**</from>
        <to>/app/$1</to>
    </rule>
    <outbound-rule>
        <from>/app/**</from>
        <to>/$1</to>
    </outbound-rule>

Is it possible to get extensionless URLs work in a JSF app? I'm using 2.0.3
When I use the configuration above, nothing happens, I just get 404 errors.
My faces-config.xml references navigation rules like the following:

    <navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>/mainMenu.xhtml</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>ajax4jsf</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/ajax4jsf.xhtml</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>
    <navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>/mainMenu.xhtml</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>selectFile</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/selectFile.xhtml</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Matt
