Handling the navigation from a backing bean
Yesterday I was experiencing some login form, in which I am calling a backing bean when the login button is pressed. In the backing bean depending on the return of the operation call I want to redirect the navigation to the corresponding page. After doing some research in the forums I found the below solution. We use NavigationHandler class to redirect the flow of the application. public String doLogin() { BindingContainer bindings = getBindings(); OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("login"); Object result = operationBinding.execute(); FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); NavigationHandler nh = context.getApplication().getNavigationHandler(); if (((String)result).equals("SUCCESS")) nh.handleNavigation(context, null, "SUCCESS"); else nh.handleNavigation(context, null, "ERROR"); return null; }
