How to use a navigationMenuItem to call a HTML?
Hi everyone. We're trying to call a .html from our navigationMenuItem, but
it isn't working.
If we try to declare it as a Action in the faces-config.xml, it will treat
the html as a .faces, throwing
a Exception. We're trying now to call a method from the backing bean that
uses the facesContext to send
a redirect to the html. Is this the only reasonable approach?
Thanks and Best Regards

Using recent nightly builds use can put in the action attribute an
external link, like this (got this snipped from the examples):
<t:navigationMenuItem id="nav_3"
itemLabel="Apache MyFaces Home"
action="http://myfaces.apache.org" />
</t:jscookMenu>
Just use the "http:" to redirect to external pages,
HTH,

Thanx Peter, but It's not working since I'm using JsCookMenu instead of
Panel Navigation 2.
Thanks

Hmmm,
did some testing... easiest way to do it seems to use the onclick handler of
the commandNavication tag:
<t:commandNavigation2 value="google" onclick="javascript:window.open('
http://www.google.com');"/>
works for me!
-P

I've not tried this, but I think je could just put a simple <a href=""> in
your menu pointing to the html page you are trying to link....? Otherwise I
would just rename it jsp... and put in in je navigation context... no
backing bean required.
