OK, that implies that the redirect did indeed work. (It's also possible to do this sort of "is the user logged on" checking with a PhaseListener, so you don't have to embed it in every view controller, but let's not complicate the diagnosis by changing that just yet :-). > /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.

There *is* a set of errors in your navigation rules ... view identifiers should be using the JSP extension, not the JSF_mapped one. For example: <from-view-id>/login/login.jsp</from-view-id> since that is the "real" page that did the rendering. Same thing goes for <to-view-id> settings. > Jason Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
