page view-id not equal to

[mmulligan03]

For every page except one I want a action to be executed with every request sent to the server. 

for instance:
I have a page called home.xhtml and I don't want the action to be executed when a request comes in for this page but for every other page the action should get executed.

Is there any way here to say if the view-id is not /home.xhtml ?

<page view-id="*" >
     <action execute="#{authenticator.setCookie()}"  />
     <navigation>
         <rule if-outcome="home">
             <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml" />
         </rule>
    </navigation>
</page>

You can use the if attribute of <action> tag. Like this:

<action execute="#{authenticator.setCookie()}" 
if="#{!'home.xhtml'.equals(facesContext.viewRoot.viewId)}" />

I have tried

<action execute="#{authenticator.setCookie()}" 
             if="#{!'/home.xhtml'.equals(facesContext.viewRoot.viewId)}" />

and

<action execute="#{authenticator.setCookie()}" 
             if="#{!facesContext.viewRoot.viewId.equals('/home.xhtml')}" />

Neither works, I added the / because when I print out facesContext.getViewRoot().getViewId() in the method the view is /home.xhtml

Never-mind my last post, I didn't realize that something else was calling the same method when the page loaded... Your suggestion did work, thank you for the post.
