Thanks for the response...
The url in the browser is changing to /login/login.jsf... I call the
redirect, from the the BaseViewController.prerender method...
externalContext.redirect(toUrl); where in my case the toUrl is
"/cpt/login/login.jsf". /cpt is my application context.
ExternalContext externalContext = getExternalContext();
String webappPath = externalContext.getRequestContextPath();
String toUrl = webappPath+url;
externalContext.redirect(toUrl);
I was under the impression that navigation rules don't come into play
until some commandLink or commandBotton is clicked. Is that not true?
But, I think my navigation rules are indeed wrong. Which may explain
why the login button isn't going anywhere. Here are my current
navigation rules...
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>home</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/home.jsf</to-view-id>
<redirect/>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/login/login.jsf</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/home.jsf</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>failed</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/login/logon.jsf</to-view-id>
<redirect/>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Thanks so much.
