JSF Forward -- Off Subject

[Tim Pyle <tp...@portiva.com>]

I do not think this really is myFaces specific or not as i have not
tried with Sun's RI. But I think it is more just my lack of JSF
navigation knowledge.  I am attempting to build a tag that can check for
certain data at the begining of page. This tag takes the attributes,
var, and url. What it is supposed to do is check the session for valid
data in the "var" attribute. And if the data is not there or valid, it
should then forward the request off to the given "url". Can someone look
at the code and tell me where I am messing up, or if I am going down the
wrong path altogether. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Current strUrl is "/buPage.jsp"

		if (session.getAttribute(strVar) == null) {
			Logger.debugln("viewRoot before: " +
context.getViewRoot().getViewId());
			UIViewRoot viewRoot =
context.getApplication().getViewHandler().createView(context,strUrl);
			viewRoot.setViewId(strUrl);
			context.setViewRoot(viewRoot);
			Logger.debugln("viewRoot after : " +
context.getViewRoot().getViewId());
			context.renderResponse();
		}

Usually, I do FacesContext.getCurrentInstance
().getExternalContext().sendRedirect(url);
 I realize that this will require an additional client roundtrip, but it 
keeps everything nice in terms of JSF.
