I am facing a proplem with the ?faces-redirect=true I want to show the follwoing link http://localhost:8080/FirstJSPApplication/home.xhtml in the url after clicking the submit button in the index.xhtml but when adding ?faces-redirect=true to action="home" I am losing the value of the input field and am just getting Welcome back in the home.xhtml without the value of the username input field.
How can I show home.xhtml in the url after clicking the submit button without losing the username?
MainBean
package com.firstApp;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
@ManagedBean
public class MainBean {
private String username;
public MainBean() {
}
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
}
