Re: Getting the actual URL with Response, Request and FilterChain in Faces

[Julián García]

If you want to control what URL is *shown* in the browser, then only 
*redirect* commands will do that. Navigation rules can specify redirect 
should be used instead of forward, but that *does* have performance 
problems, and other limitations. I suggest carefully investigating the 
implications of using redirects before doing this.

As far as I understand, using this will clean my context, and this is 
not a feasible alternative for me since I masively use saveStates....Am 
I wrong.


If you just want to do some kind of security based on the URL forwarded 
to, then I would suggest investigating writing a custom NavigationHandler.

This sounds like a feasible approach. Any reference to particular custom 
implementations of this class? How do I configure a custom 
NavigationHandler in faces.

Thanks a lot.
