Method Detail

handleNavigation

public void handleNavigation(javax.faces.context.FacesContext context,
                             String fromAction,
                             String outcome)

Handle a navigation request from the application. The following rules are applied:

• If this view is NOT currently executing a DialogContext instance:
  • If the logical outcome begins with the prefix identified by the prefix specified by context init parameter Constants.DIALOG_PREFIX_PARAM (with a default value of Constants.DIALOG_PREFIX), create and start a new DialogContext instance for a logical name based on the remainder of the logical outcome after the prefix.
  • Otherwise, delegate control to the original navigation handler passed to our constructor.
• If this view is currently executing a DialogContext instance, advance its progress based on the specified logical outcome.

Specified by:

handleNavigation in class javax.faces.application.NavigationHandler

Parameters:

context - FacesContext for the current request

fromAction - Action that was invoked

outcome - Logical outcome from the invoked action
