JSF redirect doesn't work

Question

I have a problem with redirecting a page in my JSF application. My navigation rule look like this :

<navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>/index.xhtml</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
        <from-action>#{registerBean.registerUser}</from-action>
        <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
        <to-view-id>/confirmation.xhtml</to-view-id>
        <redirect/>
    </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

In my case the redirect tag doesn't work, the URL remains unchanged, and when I refresh the page the registerUser action is executed again. I just have no idea what I'm doing wrong; I'm not very experienced with JSF. Can anyone please tell why the redirect tag doesn't work? Thanks. (I'm using JSF 2.0 and NetBeans IDE)

Are you sure your page is processing without errors? Check your FacesMessages, see if there are any errors queued - these would prevent navigation to the next page.
