I am tryint to do the redirection with the aid of the navigation-rule in the faces-config.xml file but I am facing problem I am not being redirected to the welcome.xhtml page from the index.xhtml page after clicking the login button. The login() as well as validateUser() are being invoked in the LoginBeanCDI bean and I am getting seccuss as a result back but the rediection does not happen.
I test the funktioniliy of the pages with commented goToWelcome() in the LoginBeanCDI bean after call it from the form action <h:commandButton value="Login" id="combtn"action="#{loginBeanCDI.goToWelcome()}"/> and in this case I am being redirected to the welcome.xhtml page without any problem. Therefore I think the problem is with the navigation rule in the faces-config.xml file.
