Conditional redirect - ViewExpiredException

[sykwitit]

I have the same problem as stated in this topic. Because i didn't find the solution there I have posted the question once more.
The requirement is to handle ViewExpiredException based on the url context. Ex: When the application View Expires while accessing the pages

1. http://localhost/applicationname should redirect the ViewExpriedException to say

<redirect view-id="/login.xhtml>

2. http://localhost/adminconsole should redirect the ViewExpriedException to say

<redirect view-id="/admin-login.xhtml">

I am not sure how I can configure this in pages.xml. Please help.

Hi,

The basic definition is:

<exception class="javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException" log="false">
       <redirect  view-id="##### see next #####">
           <message severity="WARN">#{messages['view_expired']}</message>
       </redirect>
    </exception>

As stated in the mentioned thread: using

#{facesContext.externalContext.requestServletPath}#{facesContext.externalContext.requestPathInfo}

Will redirect after the exception to the page where the error occured

The view-id contains EL, so you could enter some conditional logic like:

1. {condition ? step 1 : step 2}

Meaning you can still read bean content and use it as input for your view-id logic.
