navigation from more than one view

Hi

   How can I define the navigation rule so that I can navigate to a page from two different pages/views.

My current navigation rule is...

    <navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>/constituent/profile/viewProfile.jsp</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>manageAddress</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/constituent/profile/manageAddress.jsp</to-view-id>
            <redirect />
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>

I would like to get to the same page from another view so I tried the following but it didn't worked.

    <navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>/constituent/profile/viewProfile.jsp</from-view-id>
        <from-view-id>/constituent/profile/spouseProfile.jsp</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>manageAddress</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/constituent/profile/manageAddress.jsp</to-view-id>
            <redirect />
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>

I know that I can use "*" instead of a specific "From view", but I don't want to do that. I want to only to allow to navigate to this from the specific view I define in the rule.

Thanks in advance

You have to make two separate navigation rules, like so:

   <navigation-rule>
       <from-view-id>/constituent/profile/viewProfile.jsp</from-view-id>
       <navigation-case>
           <from-outcome>manageAddress</from-outcome>
           <to-view-id>/constituent/profile/manageAddress.jsp</to-view-id>
           <redirect />
       </navigation-case>
   </navigation-rule>

   <navigation-rule>
       <from-view-id>/constituent/profile/spouseProfile.jsp</from-view-id>
       <navigation-case>
           <from-outcome>manageAddress</from-outcome>
           <to-view-id>/constituent/profile/manageAddress.jsp</to-view-id>
           <redirect />
       </navigation-case>
   </navigation-rule>

I personally prefer using a generic rule because it makes for less
duplication, in your xml.

You can just use a generic navigation rule like this one:

 <navigation-rule>
          <navigation-case>
			<from-outcome>manageAddress</from-outcome>
			<to-view-id>/constituent/profile/manageAddress.jsp</to-view-id>
		</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
