No, I didn't meant that you should redirect programmatically. In both cases you use faces-config NavigationRule to handle transition. 'redirect' is merely parameter on how to handle that transition. If <redirect/> is present, then navigation will be handled traditional way: server asks browser to navigate from faces/page1.jspx to faces/page2.jspx. By default, navigation is handled a little differently: server just 'switch' servlets. From browser's point of view response is rendered by page1.jspx, while on the server page1.jspx processes user's request, but response is rendered by page2.jspx.
You should refer to some JSF tutorials or documentation for detailed explanation on how it all works :) Hope it helps. > > > It is not clear, weather you use "redirect" navigation rule. > I'm asking what to use:).
