Spring Web-Flow Keeps Replacing Get Request Parameters With its Execution Parameter

i am programming in a framework that uses spring web-flow and JSF. I have to create a rest service that acts on get requests. but the problem is that spring web-flow replace my request parameters with its own "execution parameter" for example the url that i need is : http://localhost:8080/app/rg/restService?id=ca9761e3-90d1-40ca-b160-5c704b2ac982 but web-flow changes this url to http://localhost:8080/app/rg/restService?execution=e4s1 . by the way, there is a solution suggested here but i can not use that.

any help will be appreciated.

I wouldn't use Web Flow for the REST service. Web Flow is for stateful "flows" through multiple steps. Just use JAX-RS or Spring MVC for the RESTful service. - dbreaux
web-flow is already in use in my framework i can not eliminate it. i managed to go around it by url's like localhost:8080/app/rg/restService#{id=ca9761e3-90d1-40ca-b160-5c704b2ac982} - MoienGK
That's what I meant. Not eliminating it for where you really need to use it, just not using it for this case. As you describe, you can mix Web Flow with other technologies. - dbreaux

I agree with dbreaux, you should create another Dispatcher Servlet specifically for your REST services and give it a different mapping so that one does not interfere with the other. You can still reuse your existing beans if they are declared in the parent context.
