jsf navigates to same page again and again

Question

My view:

<h:commandLink  action="#{Test.action}" target="_self">test</h:commandLink>  
<h:commandLink  action="#{Test1.action}" target="_self">test1</h:commandLink>

My classes:

class Test
{
    // ...

    public String action()
    {
        return "outcome-1";
    }
}

class Test1
{
    // ...

    public String action()
    {
        return "outcome-2";
    }
}

step 1: Navigate from 1.jsp to 2.jsp

18:36:14,371 INFO [STDOUT] START PHASE UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4
18:36:14,371 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/1.jsp
18:36:14,371 INFO [STDOUT] END PHASE UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4

18:36:14,464 INFO [STDOUT] END PHASE RENDER_RESPONSE 6
18:36:14,464 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/2.jsp

step 2: Navigate from 2.jsp to 3.jsp

18:36:55,368 INFO [STDOUT] START PHASE UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4
18:36:55,368 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/2.jsp
18:36:55,368 INFO [STDOUT] END PHASE UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4

18:36:55,368 INFO [STDOUT] END PHASE INVOKE_APPLICATION 5
18:36:55,368 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/3.jsp
18:36:55,368 INFO [STDOUT] START PHASE RENDER_RESPONSE 6
18:36:55,368 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/3.jsp
18:36:56,164 INFO [STDOUT] END PHASE RENDER_RESPONSE 6
18:36:56,164 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/3.jsp

step 3: Navigate from 3.jsp to 2.jsp

18:39:09,575 INFO [STDOUT] END PHASE UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4
18:39:09,575 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/3.jsp
18:39:09,575 INFO [STDOUT] START PHASE INVOKE_APPLICATION 5
18:39:09,575 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/3.jsp
18:39:09,575 INFO [STDOUT] END PHASE INVOKE_APPLICATION 5
18:39:09,575 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/3.jsp
18:39:09,575 INFO [STDOUT] START PHASE RENDER_RESPONSE 6
18:39:09,575 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/3.jsp
18:39:09,716 INFO [STDOUT] END PHASE RENDER_RESPONSE 6
18:39:09,716 INFO [STDOUT] /pages/3.jsp

In step 3, Navigating from 3.jsp to 2.jsp renders 3.jsp itself but same navigation works in above step 1 & 2.

outcome-1 /pages/1.jsp outcome-2 /pages/2.jsp outcome-3 /pages/3.jsp — user822879, Aug 31 '12 at 13:59

Thanks, BTW you can edit your post and put the navigation rules there and use code formatting — Sal, Aug 31 '12 at 16:38

You need to configure your navigation cases in faces-config.xml. For example, if you want to navigate from 1.jsp to 2.jsp, you must configure your navigation rule:

<navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>/1.jsp</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
        <from-outcome>outcome-2</from-outcome>
        <to-view-id>/2.jsp</to-view-id>
    </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

I can goto 1.jsp, 2.jsp, 3.jsp from a menu of 11.jsp,12.jsp [rich faces panel menu item rendered inside ]etc... unfortunately the last rendered view alone retains. I have to do logout in my application. – user822879 Aug 31 '12 at 14:05
Are you working with ajax rendering? If so, render a parent panelGroup or panelGrid, so the pages appears to you. – gdfbarbosa Aug 31 '12 at 15:51
I am not using ajax for rendering. – user822879 Sep 01 '12 at 03:43
