Re: h:commandButton link

Hi Andrew,

I tried to code the url directly in the navigation handler.
I tried
several combinations etc.
but it does not really work and I guess your right that the
navigation
should only be used by
inter-application navigation!
Furthermore I don't understand what you mean with "send
a redirect to the
external URL"
I guess I can imagine what you want to do, but how is this
working?

Cheers Wolfgang

To generate a plain link that points to another site, use
<h:outputLink>.

To send a redirect from an action method, do something like
this:

  public void doSomething()
  {
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().
      getExternalContext().redirect("http://google.de");
  }
