how to use managed bean property in navigation rule tag of faces config.
i am using JSF1.2.

<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/Reports.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/Reports.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

I have a menaged bean which has the scope session. How can i use that managed bean property in navigation rule
like

<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/Reports.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>

</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

You cannot do that.

The "to-view-id" is exactly what its name says. It's a View ID, and NOT a URL. You can use it to navigate to JSF Views, but not to JSPs or servlets, and you cannot parameterize it.

To pass information from one JSF process to another, the recommend procedure is to use internal server-side variables. As far as it goes, sending out the user ID to the client and receiving it again - whether in URLs, cookies, or form contents - is an extremely high security risk.
