JSF outcome across contexts

Hi,

I am trying to seperate my JSF application into many sub application, so i am thinking of creating a .war file for each module , my question is incase i have a jsf navigation outcome entries on faces config file that redirects to a page that will reside on another .war (faces config) file, is this applicable on any way on JSF.

Thanks in advance

You will want to keep these in the same war. Remember, session data can't be shared across war files.

i managed to share the session across the *.war files, using the extended functionality of IBM WebSphere, but my concern now is the way of handling the outcome navigation issue across these war files, so is there any suggestions!

using the extended functionality of IBM WebSphere

That can be a dangerous strategy. If anything, that indicates that these applications probably SHOULD be included in a single war file. That setting is really used to make older apps forwards compatible. Using that functionality in 2009 as a starting point may cause trouble in the short term.

Using multiple wars solely as a partitioning mechanism is a bit dicey if you ask me.

Alas, EVERYTHING these days is done with a minimum cost of time. I've seen some really serious "bit rot" as a result.

Theoretically software is immutable, never degrades, and "If it Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It". In reality, software doesn't exist in a vacuum, and if you don't do ongoing maintenance - including periodic overhauls - Murphy's Law dictates that it will completely train-wreck at the worst possible moment.
