In JSF1.2 is it possible to redirect to a bean before a page is rendered?

Question

Hi all, I know that in Seam, we could write an xml file (if my jsf page is named index.jsf -> index.page.xml) that we could add there

action execute="#{loginAction.checkIfBlaBla}"

so that JUST BEFORE the index.xhtml is rendered we could call a method of a Bean (Session or Managed, in seam it doesnt matter)

I am wondering if it is also possible in pure jee app coded with ejb3 and jsf v1.2?

In JSF2.0 it may be possible as it is more like Seam framework with the 2.0 version. But in 1.2 I am not sure, that's why I wanna ask to you all.

Any help would be appreciated, Many thanks, Baris

This is JSF-own behaviour and the way has never changed since JSF 1.0, so yes, you should be able to do the same with JSF 1.2. If you have a more specific problem, feel free to ask a new question. For the time being, I'd suggest to get yourself through a basic JSF tutorial to pick up the trivials. The JSF tutorials at Coreservlets.com are very good.
