Hi, I am switching from struts to JSF framework. I am running into a problem whereby I am not sure what is the best approach for the following problem.
I have four pages 1) Login.faces - Login Page that captures user name and password. 2) Console.faces - Home page for the application and contains a commandlink to the TicketEntry.faces page. 3) TicketEntry.faces - Ticket Page that captures ticket number, description, contact name and phone number. To search contact, i have a commandbutton next to the contact name field in the form. When the button is pressed, the action will navigate to the ContactSearch.faces. 4) ContactSearch.faces - Search Page that is used for searching names and also displays list of search results. I have three backing bean. One for the login page, one for the ticketentry page and one for the contactsearch page. Question: 1) After a user login's through the login.faces page, how do I stop a user going to the ContactSearch.faces directly. I only want the user to go to the ContactSearch.faces page only when he click on the button on the TicketEntry.faces page. 2) In struts, I can have one class and have many Action methods. By passing the method name, I can invoke the method. Each method can display different jsp pages. How do i get the same results in jsf.
