pages.xml question

[nayanj]

I need to redirect users to a specific page if an attribute in session is true. It does not matter what link the user clicks.. I wrote the following rule but it does not seem to work:

 <page view-id="*">
 <navigation>
 <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn and user.myattribute}">
 <begin-conversation join="true"/>
 <redirect view-id="/mypage.xhtml"/>
 </rule>
 </navigation>
 </page>

Can anyone suggest how this should be done?

I think that you need a page action called on each page and a "from-action" attribute in your navigation element. You can provide it a dummy method that essentially does nothing. eg:

<page view-id="*" action="#{myBean.doNothing}">
 <navigation from-action="#{myBean.doNothing}">

Cheers,

Thanks! That worked.
