Assume page_B.jsf depends on page_A.jsf. The backing bean for page_B.jsf has request scope. The backing bean for page_A.jsf has session scope.
In the constructor for the backing bean for page_B.jsf a check is made for the backing bean for page_A.jsf. If the user has first gone to page_A.jsf and made the selections, all is well. However, if the user bookmarks page_B.jsf, the backing bean for page_A.jsf is not found and a null pointer is thrown. I know that Seam and the Spring webflow address these issues; however, as a simple stopgap, is it possible to redirect to a page from the constructor of a backing bean; or is there a better way to do this?
