MenuBar URL link problem - adds faces to url again and again

[mustafa.karakaya]

Hi,

I am using p:menubar with p:submenu and p:menuitem. som of these submenus and menuitems have url's that direct to different pages in the application. My faces servlet url pattern is /faces/*. When i click on any submenu or menuitem url, it adds the faces string to the url again and again. And the urls do not work after that. For example:

i start from the page:
http://localhost:8080/projwar/faces/index.jsp

after clicking to friends url it becomes:
http://localhost:8080/projwar/faces/faces/friends.jsp

after clicking to inbox url it becomes:
http://localhost:8080/projwar/faces/fac ... /inbox.jsp

how can i solve this problem. thanks in advance.

Hi Mustafa,

Can you please post the code of your p:menubar so that I can try to replicate the issue. Thanks.

Hi, try using *.jsf mapping instead of /faces/*.

[mustafa.karakaya]

that did not help unfortunately:(

That's strange, we're using this mapping and menubar component in our app with no problems. We don't have /faces/* though.
