Navigate after submitting form

[laurens]

Hi,

I am trying to submit a form and redirect the user upon successful validation. Here is the relevant part of my XHTML:

Code: Select all

<p:commandButton value="Continue" actionListener="#{registrationController.register()}" update="registrationForm"/>

I have error messages defined for the input fields and when I do not properly enter data, they are properly displayed. When the form does validate however, it is entered in the database and I wish to redirect the user to another page. I have tried setting "action" to not avail. The control should feature an "outcome" property but my IDE insists that property is not defined. Another thread I read here suggests that the property does exist and will properly evaluate but this doesn't work either.

How can I get the command button to redirect the user upon succesful validation?

Thanks!

I usually do these :

In the button :

Code: Select all

action="#{myBean.doSomething}"

In the bean :

Code: Select all

public String doSomething() {
    // do all the stuffs
    // return "myDestination"; // will jump to myDestination.xhtml in my case
}

Thanks, that did it!

What is the difference between the actionListener and an action though?
