wildcard navrule bug in NavigationHandlerImpl
---------------------------------------------

         Key: MYFACES-1340
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1340
     Project: MyFaces Core
        Type: Bug

  Components: JSR-127  
    Versions: 1.1.4-SNAPSHOT    
 Environment: JBoss 4.x / Tomcat 5.5 / JDK5
    Reporter: Erik Gustavson


I think a subtle logic bug crept into NavigationHandlerImpl handling on 
wildcard matches during this revision:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/myfaces/core/trunk/impl/src/main/java/org/apache/myfaces/application/NavigationHandlerImpl.java?r1=410138&r2=414102&diff_format=h

Here is the scenario:

there are two navigation rules:

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

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

Assuming you are in the view /foo.jsp and your action method returns "foobar" 
you would expect to end up matching on the wildcard navigation rule and be sent 
to /foobar.jsp.

It looks like the logic on lines 71-72 and 75-79 are erroneous and should be 
removed as they are present in the getNavigationCase(...) method called on line 
73. The net effect of the problem is that even if you find a good match from 
line 73, if your viewId returns a list from the casesMap the code ends up 
overwriting the previously determined navigation case with a null - this send 
you right back to rerendering the view as if you nav case wasn't there at all.

I took out the lines in question and tested locally and everything seems to 
work for me...
