jsf return to the welcome page instead of the previous page

Question

I have 3 jsf pages : welcome page : index.xhtml second page : displayall.xhmtl containing a commandlink to the third page : login_jsf.xhtml

The problem is when I press navigator return button it's redirect to the welcome page instead of displayall.xhtml

here is the tag I use to redirect :

   <p:commandLink id="login" action="login_jsf?faces-redirect=true" style="margin-right:20px">
                <h:outputText value="Se connecter" />
            </p:commandLink>

How about using `login?faces-redirect=true` (without `_jsf`). See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15521451/how-to-navigate-in-jsf-how-to-make-url-reflect-current-page-and-not-previous-o — Jasper de Vries, May 01 '17 at 18:41

Add a navigation rule to your faces-config.xml (notice the "redirect" tag):

<navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>displayall.xhtml</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
        <from-outcome>login</from-outcome>
        <to-view-id>login.xhtml</to-view-id>
        <redirect />
    </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

or make a navigation handler bean and call its related method from the commandLink:

@Named
@RequestScoped
public class NavigationHandler implements Serializable {
   public String moveToLoginPage() {
      return "login?faces-redirect=true";
   }
}

and then:

<p:commandLink id="login" action="#{navigationHandler.moveToLoginPage}"> 
          <h:outputText value="Se connecter" />
</p:commandLink>

Thanks a lot ! adding the redirect tag worked for me – DarkSide Apr 30 '17 at 12:37 — DarkSide, Apr 30 '17 at 12:37
