view-id manipulation using phaselistener?

ryoung2504 May 17, 2007 9:35 AM

I have some complex navigation rules that are dependant upon the servername of the request.

What I would like to be able to do is specify a pseudo view-id (lets say 'home.xhtml') but it to resolve to a different concrete view-id ('home/xxx.xhtml' on site A and 'home/abc.xhtml' on site B).

My latest thoughts are to use a class that implements PhaseListener. However my navigation rules are dependant upon data in some entities and I have read posts on this forum that imply PhaseListeners cannot be used in transactions.

Is there anyone out there who has tried something similar? Is there a better way of doing this?

I am trying to do something similar. So far from my research it seems best to extend the JSF view handler so you can override the getActionUrl() method to spit out a custom url based on an action.

You can simple use page actions for that.
