I am trying to build a wizard using ui:include in a RichFaces 4 popupPanel and navigation-rules in the faces-config.xml, but on completing the actions in the backing bean, the page does not navigate to the target page. I have checked to ensure that the bean executes as expected and that it provides the expected outcome.
The JSF page and the included page are listed below:
<rich:popupPanel modal="true" id="addSvcAcctPanel" autosized="true">
<rich:messages id="addSvcAcctPanelMessages" globalOnly="false"
styleClass="message" />
<a:outputPanel id="includeAddSvcAcct">
<ui:include src="/layout/addSvcAccPg2.xhtml" />
</a:outputPanel>
<h:form id="closeSvcAcctForm">
<div class="buttons">
<a:commandButton styleClass="save" id="closeAddSvcBtn"
value="close"
onclick="#{rich:component('addSvcAcctPanel')}.hide()"
render="hasAgentsAccItm,svcAccAccordItm,svcAcctsTab,svcAccInfo,agentPanel,ServiceAccts,noticesAccordion">
<rich:tooltip direction="topRight" mode="client" showDelay="300"
styleClass="tooltip" layout="block">
<span style="white-space: wrap">Click on the 'Close'
button to close this panel and return to the main screen. If you
have any unsaved information on this page, it will be lost when
you click close.</span>
</rich:tooltip>
</a:commandButton>
</div>
</h:form>
</rich:popupPanel>
The inserted JSF code for the two panels is as follows:

The method from the backing bean is as follows:
public String addAccount() {
String retVal = "failed";
try {
getSAFctx.addService(getIntUserId(), 1, selected_company,
account_id, alias);
retVal = "success";
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
} finally {
return retVal;
}
}
I have tried to this using pages.xml, *.pages.xml and rich:togglePanel (which for some reason, does not permit commandButtons to engage backing beans). Does anyone have any suggestions that can help? Does anyone know how to make this wizard work?
Thanks in advance.
Dave.
