Redirect from @Create method

[mvlach]

Hello,

let's image situation. I have component that has method annotated by @Begin and @Create. I need redirect to some page if the special situation occurs:

if (a == null) {
  // redirect to /show.xhtml WITH PARAM contentId=aaa

}

but

this not works:

                   FcesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect("/show.seam?contentId=email-validation-error");
getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();

this work's not too:

                Redirect.instance().setViewId("/show.xhtml");
                Redirect.instance().setParameter("contentId", "email-validation-error");
                Redirect.instance().execute();

I can throw an application exception and redirect BUT ONLY without parameters - and the show.xhtml without params throws 404 exception :)

Know somebody how to redirect ?

Thanks MIla

Depending on what you are trying to achieve, you can create a page action instead of relying on the @Create callback. In that method you return null to stay on the page or a String mapping to forward or redirect.
