JSF

It’s the Little Tags that Count

In my on-going (and infrequent) effort to post tidbits about migrating from WebLogic Potal to WebCenter Portal I ran across this little reminder today:

WSRP does not support redirects. I’m not sure if that is per the WSRP 2.0 Specification or just the way Oracle goes about it, but for those of us working with WebCenter it doesn’t matter.

So, when doing a staged migration from WebLogic Portal to WebCenter where you have JSF portlets in WLP, in addition to making sure you update your pages to use UTF-8, check your faces-config.xml and look for navigation cases like this:

<navigation-case>
	<from-outcome>goBack</from-outcome>
	<to-view-id>/pages/SOLandingPage.jsp</to-view-id>
	<redirect/>
</navigation-case>

And remove the

<redirect/>

Failure to do so will cause all of your JSF WSRP page transitions to blow up in annoying ways.

Note that this discovery was by a team member who then passed it on to me.
