Thanks, I already thought about something with JSTL and jsp:include depending on the portlet session attribute. But I pressume it will be the same behaviour that the correct view is rendered in one roundtrip later. So my approach with a phase listener and with the custom navigation isn't the way. It seems that will be my first dead end with JSF porlets :( ...full of expectations on portlet spec 2.0 and standardized JSF bridge.... Regards, Oliver

This in turn runs the full JSF lifecyle for that portlet, including the INVOKE_APPLICATION phase, which runs the navigation handler. All other portlets, however, proceed directly to RENDER_RESPONSE by way of the portlet's doView() method. Therefore, even with a custom Navigation Handler, you couldn't cause the passive portlet to navigate to a new view (at least, not cleanly). Off the top of my head, the only way I can think of to change the view in the passive portlet (your portlet 2) is to use a single view that in turn includes the real view (using a JSP include?) based on the value in HTTPSession set by your active portlet. Actually, that won't work, either, because <jsp:include> won't know how to evaluate a Faces value binding. It should work with Facelets' <ui:include> component, however. Of course, this approach has the disadvantage that you must keep track of navigation states yourself in the passive portlet.

The portlet 2 evalutes on each server-roundtrip the object in the portlet session. I want to realize a portlet session object sensitive portlet 2. E. g. when I click a link for a customer object in portlet 1, the GUI for a customer should be visible in portlet 2. When I click in portlet 1 on a bill object a bill GUI is shown and so on. I use a value binding in portlet 2 as trigger. There I want to use instanceof operator and then change the navigation. How can I set an outcome to show a jsp in portlet 2 ? It is not an action only a value binding. Can this be done without a subclass of navigation handler ? Thanks, Oliver
