JSF 2 Navigation Rule redirect to home page if user is logged

I'm trying to accomplish redirection to home page when user go to login page and is already logged. This how I defined the rule:

<navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>/login.xhtml</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
        <if>#{identity.loggedIn}</if>
        <to-view-id>/home.xhtml</to-view-id>
        <redirect />
    </navigation-case>
 </navigation-rule>

But I get the next exception:

WARNING [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.lifecycle] (default task-26) Error de argumento: el parámetro id es nulo: java.lang.NullPointerException: Error de argumento: el parámetro id es nulo

The redirection is released but the exception is raised. How can be solved?

Solution

  • After checking the source code the problem is related to outcome:

    the com.sun.faces.flow.FlowHandlerImpl.getFlow method need Id to be not null:

    public Flow getFlow(FacesContext context, String definingDocumentId, String id) {
    Util.notNull("context", context);
    Util.notNull("definingDocumentId", definingDocumentId);
    Util.notNull("id", id);

    The com.sun.faces.application.NavigationHandlerImpl:

    result.isFlowEntryFromExplicitRule = null != fh.getFlow(ctx, toFlowDocumentId, outcome);

    So the outcome is null and exception is rised. In my case I don't have outcome.

    If is needed from-outcome then in some place has to be ejecuted an action. To accomplish that the login.xhtml page need a f:viewAction.

    Implementing all this now my the requested use case is working well. If from-action is declared then the from-outcome is optional and vice versa.

    If the same logic of redirection is required when user go to root folder (domain/appname/) the only thing that has to be done is to add welcome-file to web.xml.

    <welcome-file>login.jsf</welcome-file>

    Finally this is the navigation rule declaration

    <navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>/login.xhtml</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
        <!--optional<from-action>#{bean.loggedInNavigationRuleAction}</from-action>-->
        <from-outcome>logged</from-outcome>
        <if>#{identity.loggedIn}</if>
        <to-view-id>/home.xhtml</to-view-id>
        <redirect />
    </navigation-case>
 </navigation-rule>

    And this has to be added to login.xhtml

    <f:metadata>
  <f:viewParam name="x" value="#{bean.x}"/>
  <f:viewAction action="#{bean.loggedInNavigationRuleAction}" phase="APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES"/>
</f:metadata>
