Redirect is not working

[israel.bgf]

The is not working, it sends the user to the "outside" application, not the one in the portal. And the gives an error. Example from the pages.xml:


<redirect view-id="/errorPage.xhtml">
Error!



When the exception is throw i'm redirected to the localhost:8080/appName/errorPage.seam, not the localhost:8080/portal/portal/verystrangeulr...

I tested it even with the seamBookingPortlet sample that comes with the portlet bridge, and I got the same problem. Is it a limitation of the bridge? Is there any tweaking that can solve this problem?

thks in advance,

Ops, sorry let me try to post the example again:

<exception class="com.nexxera.aen.business.BusinessException">
 <redirect>
 <message severity="ERROR">#{messageHandler.formatMessage(org.jboss.seam.handledException)}</message>
 </redirect>
 </exception>

This is a known (and actually the first) issue reported in the bridge.
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/PBR-1.
It is on the list for next release.

Isn't this also a conceptual issue?

In a portlet I might want to redirect to a view id in the same portlet application, or I might want to redirect to a page in the portal. Both are valid usecases but how to distinguis between them?

Maybe the notation should be <redirect view-id="xxxx"/ when selecting another view id inside the portlet and when redirecting outside the portlet.

What is the current status on PBR-1 btw?

I'm also having a similar issue in that I cannot redirect from a JSF bean.

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response =
(HttpServletResponse)context.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.sendRedirect("/some.jsp ");

Takes me to a blank page. This code works using the JSF portlet bridge.
