Looking for some more suggestions :), I would prefer not to use ajax since
it is quite a simple page.
I have tried some more (hacky) stuff which didn't work either :( :
The below changed the location URL, but don't load the page?? Any ideas.
public static void programmaticForward2( final String viewId ) throws
IOException{
FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)
faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.setContentType("text/html");
response.setHeader("Location", "http://localhost:8080/dss"; +viewId);
faces.responseComplete();
response.getOutputStream().flush();
response.getOutputStream().close();
}
The below didn't do anything?
public static void programmaticForward3( final String viewId ) throws
IOException{
FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)
faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
HttpServletRequest request =
(HttpServletRequest)faces.getExternalContext().getRequest();
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
response.setContentType("text/html");
response.sendRedirect("http://"; +request.getServerName() +":"
+request.getServerPort() +"/dss" +viewId);
faces.responseComplete();
out.flush();
out.close();
}
Cheers,
Mike no.2

Seems like there should be a way to solve this without ajax, though.
Maybe using a meta refresh.
