RE: How can I redirect from a servlet to a JSF page (that isbacked by a bean)?

[Jeffrey Porter <PO...@WMGMAIL.wmg.warwick.ac.uk>]

Great page Mike! It was very useful.

I have another question leading on from it though.

I now have the servlet redirecting to the page I want, it populates the
bean on for the page. BUT (there's always a but)...

The commandButton's on the page now call in to servlet, instead of
calling the action that I'd expect.


Example of commandButton 
<h:commandButton value="Save" action="#{managerDocument.saveDoc}"/>


Does anyone have any ideas?
(I'll add notes on this to the wiki when I find the reason/solution)

Thanks
Jeff.

Hi Mike,

I've gathered the info posted so far and created this page:
  http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/InvokingJsfPagesWithStandardUrls

Anyone who actually gets this working, please review the wiki page and
make any necessary corrections/enhancements!

Cheers,

Simon
