Redirect after p:remoteCommand not working

Question

I'm having problem with redirecting user to homepage after some action. I have searched stackoverflow and found many solutions, especially from @BalusC, but neither of them worked for me.

pageA - remoteCommand:

<p:remoteCommand name="submit" process="@this" action="#{beanA.submitForm}"/>

pageA - submit button that calls modal dialog for signing content

<p:commandButton value="Sign data" id="sign" actionListener="#{beanA.signData}" global="false" styleClass="button" />

After user click commandButton there is some data logic that is being run in bean, modal dialog is called with its own bean, and from there p:remoteCommand is called:

RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().execute("submit()");    

String message = "Redirect successfuly done!";

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
FacesMessage facesMessage = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "INFO:" , message);

context.addMessage("form:h_m", facesMessage); // h:message on landing page waiting for message  

externalContext.getFlash().setKeepMessages(true);

return "/view.xhtml?faces-redirect=true&includeViewParams=true";

h:message in view.xhtml:

<h:form id="form">  
 <div id="divs">
  <div id="top">
   <h:message id="h_m"/>    
    .....
    .....
  </div>
 </div>
</h:form>

Long story short - when user press the submit button (that calls dialog), modal dialog pops up, user click submit button again, there is some logic to be processed and then remoteCommand is called and pop up is closed. That's the moment when redirect should be done but nothing happens after pop up is closed, just error:

There is no action, I'm not sure why is URL null?

EDIT - CONFIGURATION:

Liferay 6.2 CE GA3
Primefaces 5.2
Liferay Faces 3.2.5-ga6

Could you add all the relevant xhtml. might help in finding the problem. — bwright, Oct 13 '15 at 07:38
I've edited a little bit but i think this will not help you - its very simple, two xhtml, page with remote command and landing page with h:message that waits for message to show — Marko P, Oct 13 '15 at 07:49
You are talking about some submit button/buttons?, but I do not see where and what it is calling. — bwright, Oct 13 '15 at 07:57
Well, it's not so easy to explain that part but I think it doesn't have any relations with this problem. In short - submit button on page A calls modal dialog that contains java applet for signing data that signs data and submits form on modal dialog. After that, remoteCommand is called that submits form on pageA (under the modal dialog) and needs to redirect to view.xhtml with its message. — Marko P, Oct 13 '15 at 08:13
Could you add info on what version of Liferay you are using, what version of Liferay Faces, and what version of Primefaces? — stiemannkj1, Oct 13 '15 at 21:09
I've edited post, you can see version configuration on bottom of the text — Marko P, Oct 14 '15 at 07:27

This is a bug in the way that the Liferay Faces Bridge does ajax redirects in the 3.2.5-ga6 (and most likely previous versions). I've opened a ticket for this (FACES-2485). If possible, I recommend that you use a non-ajax redirect to workaround this issue. Simply add ajax="false" to whatever command component is calling your redirect:

<p:commandButton action="#{bean.methodWithRedirect}" ajax="false" />

I am not sure if <p:remoteCommand> supports an URL as return value for action.

But you can always redirect programmatically like shown here:
