So i have to very ... interesting issues that perhaps you ppl can help me with.
A bit of background i have 3 different liferay pages. the 1st page has 1 portlet, 2 second has 4 portlets and 3rd has 1 portlet
portal/init
portal/transactional
portal/dostuff
My first issues is navigating between pages. i have my "login" portlet in page one that redirects to page 2. Since its outside of the scope of my WAR i have not being able to uses faces-* rules. So i use the following.
public void redirectUrl(String url,boolean requestContext)
{
String outputLink ="/web/portal/" + url ;
if(requestContext) {
String fullUrl = "document.location.href='"+outputLink+"';";
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().execute(fullUrl);
}else
{
try {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(outputLink);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Now, this works for the 1ts page (Im using a p:commandButton and the redirect in the actionListener).
For the second page it also works. But it reloads all the portlets on the page, before going to the 3rd page.
i have tried process=@this inmmediate=true no dice.
So my questions.
1- Is there a "proper" way to navigate between pages from a portlet.
2- How can a prevent my current page to be reloaded before going the next page. (this is wastefull since each of my portlets load information thats not going to be displayed and delays the load)
thanks in advance.
