faces-confg.xml

[ceyezumma]

If I created a var to hold a navigation rule is the var below stating to go to the faces-configt.xml by adding the /faces and it will go to the

<from-view-id>greeting.jsp </from-view-id>

private String navigate = "/jAstrologer/faces/greeting.jsp"

or not?
Thanks

Here is more on what is going on.

Neither. I'm assuming your navigation string is returned from a JSP backing
bean.

In the following example, I have a JSP page called From_Page.jsp. Its
backing bean is called From_Page.java. When From_Page is submitted, usually
in response to a button click, that button's action method is called. The
return value is a navigation string. If the navigation string contains
"greeting" then the application will navigate to the greeting JSP page. If
the navigation string is null, the same page will be displayed again,
perhaps with updated information.

<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/From_Page.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>greeting</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/greeting.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

If you want to navigate to a different page when you don't return a
navigation string, then you can use redirect as shown in the following
example.

FacesContext facesContext = getFacesContext();
ExternalContext externalContext =
facesContext.getExternalContext();
externalContext.redirect("gretting.jsp");
