Hi,

I am using jsf 2.0 and I had a similar problem with the one described here (identical actually) and I solved it by using the following code for logout:
@Named(value = "logoutBean") @RequestScoped public class LogoutBean { /** Creates a new instance of LogoutBean */ public LogoutBean() { } public void logout() { ExternalContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext(); context.invalidateSession(); HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) context.getRequest(); try { request.logout(); HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) context.getResponse(); response.sendRedirect("AdminMain.xhtml"); } catch (ServletException e) { //do logging } catch (IOException e) { //do logging } } }

In my case "Admin.xhtml" is your index.html file. I suspect that response.sendRedirect() does the trick, but I do not know why. Maybe a more informed person can shed light on it.

The same code, with a different signature though (i.e. public String logout() { blah blah...return "/AdminMain";} did not work.

Regards,
