hello, there are several alternatives. the following approach is just for the requested use-case.
sample url: http://localhost:8080/faces/subdirectory/ in web.xml add a servlet-mapping for the faces servlet: sample: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> then you can implement a phase listener for PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW in the method beforePhase you check if the target is a valid path - e.g.: FacesContext facesContext = phaseEvent.getFacesContext(); if(facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequestPathInfo() != null && ! facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequestPathInfo().contains(".")) { //implement default page handling } @implement default page handling: if you would like to use always the same page for the complete application: UIViewRoot uiViewRoot = facesContext.getApplication().getViewHandler().createView(facesContext, "/subdirectory/directory_default.xhtml"); facesContext.setViewRoot(uiViewRoot); facesContext.renderResponse(); *or* if you would like to provide or calculate a default source + use navigation rules: facesContext.setViewRoot(getSourceView(phaseEvent)); facesContext.getApplication().getNavigationHandler().handleNavigation(facesContext, null, "directory_default"); facesContext.renderResponse(); you have to implement the method getSourceView. if it returns e.g.: /subdirectory/nav_source.xhtml you have to add the following navigation-rule to your faces config: <navigation-rule> <from-view-id>/subdirectory/nav_source.xhtml</from-view-id> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>directory_default</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/subdirectory/directory_default.xhtml</to-view-id> </navigation-case> </navigation-rule> regards, gerhard 2008/12/5 mariyappa b <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I even have the same requirement but I want to do with Navigation rule. > > Thank you, > Mariyappa > > > On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 3:41 PM, VIJAY SONAWANE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > >> Thanks for reply Anton, >> >> >> >> what I am trying to do is when user only enters url upto the >> folder name where the actual page to be displayed is present >> Example: I have folder User in my project structure. >> So now if the user wants to access the page which is in this folder but >> by mistake if the user doesn't provide the page name in the URL,but provides >> till the folder where the page is included in ( i.e . >> http://myserver/users/ ) >> then it should show page http://myserver/users/userhome.html. >> >> >> >> ------------------------------ >> *From:* Anton Gavazuk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> *To:* MyFaces Discussion <[email protected]> >> *Sent:* Friday, 5 December, 2008 3:22:16 PM >> *Subject:* Re: How to redirect page in JSF >> >> Hi >> I dont understand you problem, >> >> what are you expecting? >> >> redirect in jSF could be done for example in navigation rules in faces >> config file. >> >> 2008/12/5 VIJAY SONAWANE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> > Hi all, >> > >> > I am new to JSF. >> > I am facing one problem of url redirecting. >> > i.e. if user enters url like this >> > http://myserver/project1/viewers/ >> > then he/she redirected to default page >> > http://myserver/project1/viewers/viewersHome.html page. >> > >> > note : all my pages are in xhtml >> > >> > thanks in advance >> > >> > Vj++ >> > >> > >> > >> > ________________________________ >> > Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
