[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Simple question from an not-noob developer

Hi all, Quick question I've been stuggling with for a day now: I have a page that uses an outjected variable/bean. That variable is set by an action bean after selection from a list. However, when a user accesses the target page directly, without going through the selection page, that variable will be null (normal behaviour indeed). Now, is there a way to redirect the user to the selection-page when this happens? I could do this in a page-action method, but the problem is that the target page is restricted (in pages.xml) : | <page view-id="/showSpace.xhtml"> | <restrict>#{s:hasPermission('space', 'view', selectedSpaceInstance)}</restrict> | </page> | The outjected variable in question here is selectedSpaceInstance, and the restriction-check crashes when it is null, throwing this exception: | javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: ELResolver cannot handle a null base Object with identifier 'selectedSpaceInstance' | even before any page-action is invoked. Seems like something simple to me, usually done in pages.xml, but I can't seem to find a solution. any help is, of course, welcome. b.
