I'm developing an application which has a similar look and feel as a desktop app. So there is a dropdown menu. What i've done to open the different modules from the menu is just like this: old menuItem.xhtml <rich:menuItem value="#{messages.menu_manage_persons}" | action="/modules/manageCatalogs/persons/main.xhtml" /> | ..... As i'm thinking of having a new long-running-conversation on each (more complex) module. For ending the previous conversation for each menu item i ended up in writing a more complicated (more code) solution as following: new menuItem.xhtml <rich:menuItem value="#{messages.menu_manage_persons}" | action="#{navigationManager.managePersons}" /> | new NavigationManager class @Scope(ScopeType.STATELESS) | @Name("navigationManager") | public class NavigationManager { | | public void queryOnlineDirectory() { | | } | public void managePersons() { | | } | ... | new entry in pages.xml <page view-id="/*" login-required="true"> | | <navigation from-action="#{navigationManager.queryOnlineDirectory}"> | <end-conversation /> | <redirect view-id="/modules/queryCatalog/catalog/main.xhtml" /> | </navigation> | <navigation from-action="#{navigationManager.managePersons}"> | <end-conversation /> | <redirect view-id="/modules/manageCatalogs/persons/main.xhtml" /> | </navigation> | .... | </page> | I tried quite a lot ways to get around the NavigationManager class, but i couldn't figure out to achive this.. It would be greate if someone could give me a hint how to get around the use of the NavigationManager class (there are much more menu items of course and i don't like to implement this "needless" class)..
