JSF 2 and Post/Redirect/Get?

up vote8down votefavorite 7

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking of all of my non-AJAX submits should use the Post/Redirect/Get (PRG) way, since GET should be used to refresh/query data, and in my case, the application pages I can think of really only do update on the data and then refresh the page, so I think PRG fits here. I believe I can do this using the faces-config.way, where I make use of the , or I can use the return "myview.xhtml?faces-redirect=true"; Now the question is .. Is there any way I can configure this globally that for non-AJAX calls/submits, automatically make use of faces-redirect=true, so that my source is as simple as this: return "myview"; jsf jsf-2.0 post-redirect-get link|improve this question edited Aug 17 '11 at 11:37 BalusC 294k33362602 asked Mar 24 '11 at 7:34 Albert Kam 1,94522470 87% accept rate

You could do this with a custom ConfigurableNavigationHandler. Here's a kickoff example: package com.example; import java.util.Map; import java.util.Set; import javax.faces.application.ConfigurableNavigationHandler; import javax.faces.application.NavigationCase; import javax.faces.application.NavigationHandler; import javax.faces.context.FacesContext; public class RedirectNavigationHandler extends ConfigurableNavigationHandler {     private NavigationHandler parent;     public RedirectNavigationHandler(NavigationHandler parent) {         this.parent = parent;     }     @Override     public void handleNavigation(FacesContext context, String from, String outcome) {         if (!outcome.endsWith("?faces-redirect=true")) {             outcome += "?faces-redirect=true";         }         parent.handleNavigation(context, from, outcome);             }     @Override     public NavigationCase getNavigationCase(FacesContext context, String fromAction, String outcome) {         if (parent instanceof ConfigurableNavigationHandler) {             return ((ConfigurableNavigationHandler) parent).getNavigationCase(context, fromAction, outcome);         } else {             return null;         }     }     @Override     public Map<String, Set<NavigationCase>> getNavigationCases() {         if (parent instanceof ConfigurableNavigationHandler) {             return ((ConfigurableNavigationHandler) parent).getNavigationCases();         } else {             return null;         }     } } Register it as follows in faces-config.xml:     com.example.RedirectNavigationHandler   link|improve this answer edited Jul 4 '11 at 6:53 answered Mar 24 '11 at 13:13 BalusC 294k33362602
