[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SEAMFACES-103) Create an api for doing a redirect to another view

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-103?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Brian Leathem commented on SEAMFACES-103: ----------------------------------------- In case the linked to page disappears: JSF 2 Internals - Efficient way of Redirecting to a Page There are certain cases where you are needed to redirect to a different page than requested by user e.g. if user has requested a secure page for which he/she is not authorized, your application will have to redirect to login page or some other page. I have created a utility method to redirect to a page. You can call anywhere but for example given above, you can call it a beforePhase method of RestoreViewPhaseListener. Here is the method code: public static void redirect(String viewId) { execute(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), viewId); } private static void execute(FacesContext facesContext, String viewId) throws FacesException { UIViewRoot viewRoot = null; ViewDeclarationLanguage vdl = facesContext.getApplication() .getViewHandler() .getViewDeclarationLanguage(facesContext, viewId); if (vdl != null) { // If we have one, get the ViewMetadata... ViewMetadata metadata = vdl.getViewMetadata(facesContext, viewId); if (metadata != null) { // perhaps it's not supported // and use it to create the ViewRoot. This will have, at // most // the UIViewRoot and its metadata facet. viewRoot = metadata.createMetadataView(facesContext); } } facesContext.setViewRoot(viewRoot); facesContext.renderResponse(); assert (null != viewRoot); } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
