public class DirectNavigationHandler
- extends javax.faces.application.NavigationHandler
An alternative implementation of the standard JSF NavigationHandler API which
directly using the outcome of an action as the name of the page to navigate to.
This bypasses the "logical navigation" approach of standard JSF, so that pages
can be wired together by using actual urls in command actions and action-method
return values.
When this navigation-handler is configured, all navigation-rule entries in
faces-config.xml files are ignored completely.
This navigation handler does not work well in combination with other custom
navigation handlers, as it never passes any calls down to underlying
implementations. Having another NavigationHandler decorate this one will
work; having this navigation handler decorate another will not as the
decorated handler will never be invoked. Therefore if multiple navigation
handlers are to be used (eg the Tomahawk RedirectTrackerNavigationHandler
in combination with this one), then this should be listed first in the
faces-config.xml file so that the other handlers decorate this one.

handleNavigation
public void handleNavigation(javax.faces.context.FacesContext context,
String fromAction,
String outcome)
- Gives the handleNavigation() method an alternative behaviour. Linking
is now processed directly to the given url (e.g. action="/pages/site.jsp").
There is no check if the outcome value really points to a valid page.
