Hi Alex,
One way to do this is to use an
actionListener on an
h:commandLink. In your
view.xhtml, the
h:commandLink would look like this:
<h:commandlink value="yourLinkText" actionListener="#{yourBackingBean.redirect}" />
And in the java in
YourBackingBean.java, the
redirect() method would look like this:
public void redirect() {
LiferayFacesContext liferayFacesContext = LiferayFacesContext.getInstance();
ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay) liferayFacesContext.getThemeDisplay();
String portalURL = themeDisplay.getPortalURL();
String redirect = portalURL + "/your/redirect/url";
try {
liferayFacesContext.getExternalContext().redirect(redirect);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
If you want to short-circuit the JSF-lifecycle so that validation and all phases after it are skipped, you can add
immediate="true" to the
h:commandLink as well.
To use the
LiferayFacesContext you will need the liferay-faces-portal jar, and to use the
ThemeDisplay you will need portal-service.
Hope that helps,
- Kyle
