redirection from backbean

[Dura Hurtado]

Hi I am trying to redirect to a .xhtml form a back bean but nothing happens.


This is the code:

 public void save(ActionEvent actionEvent) {  
        addMessage("multimedia");  
        
        FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); 
    String redirect = "multimedia";
    NavigationHandler myNav = facesContext.getApplication().getNavigationHandler(); 
    myNav.handleNavigation(facesContext, null, redirect); 

        
    }  

and the primefaces component is:

 <h:form>
               
         <p:growl id="messages"/>  
      
   <p:menuButton value="Options">  
        <p:menuitem value="Save" update="messages"  
                    actionListener="#{buttonBean.save}" icon="ui-icon ui-icon-disk" />
        
        
        
        
        <p:menuitem value="Update" update="messages"  
            actionListener="#{buttonBean.update}"  
            icon="ui-icon ui-icon-arrowrefresh-1-w"/>  
        <p:menuitem value="Delete" icon="ui-icon ui-icon-close"  
            actionListener="#{buttonBean.delete}" ajax="false"/>  
        <p:menuitem value="Homepage"   action="multimedia"
            icon="ui-icon ui-icon-extlink"/>  
    </p:menuButton>  
         </h:form>

¿Any idea?

Thanks for reply.

Try this:

package com.foo;
public class BackBean{
 public String save(){
  return "save";
 }
}

<f:view>
 <h:form>
   <h:commandButton value="ClickMe!" action="#{backBean.save}">
 </h:form>
</f:view>

<faces-config>
 <navigation-rule>
  <from-view-id>/first.jsp<from-view-id> //important: not jsf, real file name: xhml,jsp,etc
  <navigation-case>
    <from-outcome>save</from-outcome> // value from bean's method
    <to-view-id>/path/to/next/page.xhtml</to-view-id>
  </navigation-case>
 </navigation-rule>
 <managed-bean>
  <managed-bean-name>backBean</managed-bean>
  <managed-bean-class>com.foo.BackBean</managed-bean-class>
  <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
 </managed-bean>
</faces-config>
