JSF Page Navigation: If A.jsf navigate to B.jsf via hyperlink, why the URL display A.jsf instead of B.jsf

Question

If A.jsf have a commandLink that will navigation to B.jsf, then I would think when I am at page B.jsf, I see http:domain/host/project/B.jsf as the URL. However, I see http:domain/host/project/A.jsf on my address bar. I am always ONE behind when displaying the URL in navigation control. Is there away to fix this? My navigation control is handle inside faces-config.xml.

Try this like Plaudit Design - Web Design suggest. However does not fix it.

<navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>/CentralFeed.xhtml</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
        <from-outcome>CREATE EVENT</from-outcome>
        <to-view-id>/CreateEvent.xhtml</to-view-id>
    </navigation-case>
    <navigation-case>
        <from-outcome>CREATE ARTICLE</from-outcome>
        <to-view-id>/WriteArticle.xhtml</to-view-id>
    </navigation-case>
    <navigation-case>
        <from-outcome>PROFILE</from-outcome>
        <to-view-id>/Profile.xhtml</to-view-id>
    </navigation-case>
    <redirect/>
</navigation-rule>

Answer 1

You need to add the following inside your navigation-rule

<redirect/>

With out the redirect element the redirect is internal. The redirect causes an external redirect so your browser requests the new page.
