Thanks for the answers, I used a phaselistener but is for all the application, like the one in the example of the login:
<phase-listener>com.loffler.copycenter.controller.LoggedInCheck </phase-listener> but this type of listener is call for every Bean and my case is different. Let me explain better my case, I have an App1 and App2, they are in different servers, App1 have a link to call the App2, but I need do some things before show the index of the App1, actually the link calls directly the index.jsp of the App1, In this case I only need the listener for do things when the App1 calls App2, something like in the onload of the app2. Can I use a listener when a specific JSP is show? Can I call directly the backing bean? thanks On Jan 7, 2008 2:53 PM, John Carlson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can you do it in Spring? > > John > > > At 12:24 PM 1/7/2008, you wrote: > > Hi all, > > In struts: > I can call a JSP page like http://..../JSP/Example.jsp and I also can call > an action that do something and then do the forward to the Example.jsplike > this: > http:// <http:///> .../Example*.do > * > In JSF: > I can call a JSP page like http://...faces/JSP/Example.jsp *but *there is > a way to call a backing bean before show the JSP? > > I need to do something in the backing bean (set some variables, etc) > before showing the jsp, but I dont know if this is posible in JSF. > > thanks > >
