Page Redirect

Hopefully I'm missing something obvious. How can I do a simple URL redirect to (and here's the kicker) a URL specified in the backing bean? Thanks.

Hi,

faces-redirect=true is probably what you're looking for. Just append it to the outcome of your method.

public String foo () {
//...
return "/bar/welcome?faces-redirect=true";
}

Regards,
Palo

Pavol, I appreciate the response, but I'm not sure I understand. I'm looking for the front end code to redirect to a URL that is present in the backing bean. When the bean enters scope, it's reading this in from a configuration file. So, I want the front end to be able to use that value.

I ended up using something like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function redirect(url){
            window.location = url;
        }

    </script>
    <h:head >
        <title>Facelet Title</title>
    </h:head>
    <h:body onload="redirect('#{redirectBean.url}')" >
        <h:outputText value="#{redirectBean.url}"/>
        <p>Hello from Facelets</p>
    </h:body>
</html>
