h:commandButton action redirect to context root, possible?

Question

Project context I've created from scratch an URL rewriting with two major component : ``` public class URLFilter implements Filter { ... } public class URLViewHandler extends GlobalResourcesViewHandler { ... } ``` The first class is used to forward clean URLs to the right view with an ID different for each page. The second class override the function `getActionURL()` so that `h:form` and ajax functionnalities continues to work. Theses classes translate like this : ``` Real URL Internal URL / <-> page.jspx?key=1 /contact <-> page.jspx?key=2 /projects/management <-> page.jspx?key=3 etc ``` Current solution My problem right now is for my user login and logout button : ```

Accepted Answer

This isn't possible with (implicit) navigation. The `/` is unfortunately not a valid JSF view ID.

Use `ExternalContext#redirect()` instead. Replace

```
action="page.jspx?key=1&faces-redirect=true"
```

by

```
action="#{userActions.redirectToRootWithKey(1)}"
```

with

```
public void redirectToRootWithKey(int key) throws IOException {
    ExternalContext ec = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
    ec.redirect(ec.getRequestContextPath() + "?key=" + key);
}
```
