Spring controllers are not invoked when mixing between JSF 2 and JSP

[msaleh]

my application contains some legacy jsp pages and the client doesn't want to convert them to xhtml, and i am trying to configure JSP pages to work in JSF 2 application, but i am getting problem that the controllers of the jsps are not getting invoked.

web.xml:

      <servlet>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
      </servlet>
      
      <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
      </servlet-mapping>
      
        <context-param>
            <param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
            <param-value>.jsp</param-value>
        </context-param>
    
        
        <context-param>
            <param-name>javax.faces.FACELETS_VIEW_MAPPINGS</param-name>
            <param-value>*.xhtml</param-value>
        </context-param>

applicationContext.xml:

    <mvc:annotation-driven />
    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    		<property name="prefix" value="/pages/jsps/"/>
    		<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
    </bean>

and my jsps are under: webapp/pages/jsps

MyController:

    @Controller
    @RequestMapping("/senddata")
    public class SendDataController {
    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
        public String get(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
                throws Exception {
            log.debug("SendDataController");
    
            return "senddata";
        }
    }

ISSUE:

i can only access the jsps via following link:

 http://localhost:8080/MyApp/faces/pages/jsps/senddata.jsp

and the controllers are not getting invoked, please advise how to make the controller gets invoked.

and second question is how to make the url looks pretty as:

http://localhost:8080/MyApp/senddata

i am using PrettyFaces for pretty urls for jsf, should i use tuckey url rewrite for the jsps ?

when turning on the debug, i can see that the mapping is correct:

    2012-07-09/12:52:48.348 [Thread-2] INFO  Mapped URL path [/senddata] onto handler 'sendDataController'
    2012-07-09/12:52:48.348 [Thread-2] INFO  Mapped URL path [/senddata] onto handler 'sendDataController'
    2012-07-09/12:52:48.348 [Thread-2] INFO  Mapped URL path [/senddata.*] onto handler 'sendDataController'

Hello

If my memory doesnt fail me, Spring MVC has no support for JSF 2. Spring Web Flow yes for example.
