Hi Kuni, We have a solution which does exactly what you want. However, it requires a bit or organization of your JSF files. In particular:
A session-scoped stack to store previous views A view-specific mechanism to push each new view to the stack A standardized means to associate a view name with jsf page A component to dynamically render the breadcrumb trail and A backing bean to manage breadcrumb actions. We have not yet had time to create a JSF component to encapsulate all this coding but, if there is enough interest from the MyFaces community at large I will try to put our methodology on the WIKI for you and others.

Hello, i'm looking for a breadcrumb component.. i found the navigationPath component provided by trinidad.. that's really nice but that's not what i'm looking for! i imagine something like these: <xy:breadcrumb delimiter=">>" /> which will render: index >> page1 >> page2 >> page3 the component 'knows' your navigation history based on the navigation rules. in the simpliest way you only should define an entry point. the component observes your behavior to create a path like shown above. no path definition is needed.. a well known strategy to create such path is to organize your sources in structured directories and parsing the directory tree.. but that makes no sense cause your source-tree depends on the navigation-path terrible ;) anybody has a working example or knows hot to realize it? .. regards, Kuni
